Ballroom Newsletter, Siskiyou County & Northern California – February 21st 2023
Dear All,
Oh boy! Snow AGAIN! St. O’Boggin (the patron saint of sledding {and, by association, all winter sports}) has been working overtime on the behalf of the snow sport crowd (collectively known as “snowsporks”). Not so much on behalf of the Dance crowd (collectively known as “super-cool=really-with-it-highly-intelligent-superior-individuals) who have been plagued, to their dismay, by cancelled classes all winter long because of St. O’Boggin’s continuous interference.
Let’s see . . . if I were to choose which group I would prefer to be identified with, which one would it be? A decision each of us must make for him/herself (and yes,” both” is an acceptable” answer {if “snowspork” is a term with which anyone would, in fact, wish to willingly identify}).
We do not anticipate having to cancel classes this week but check your e-mails before lighting out for class tomorrow, just in case. (In the unlikely event that we should end up cancelling, we will take an extra week in March to give you a full complement of classes {March, being a 5 Wednesday and Thursday month does have that week to spare}).
Rumba is getting even more exciting, so you won’t want to miss that this week and Foxtrot is getting even more elegant (as if such a thing were possible) so you know you won’t want to miss that one this week, either. Don’t miss the “grand finale” for February’s dances and come to class this week! Be there or be left behind (as opposed to the right behind, which is the other one!).
The dances for March will be Cha-cha on Wednesdays (where you will encounter many of the same figures only with different footwork (since 80% of Rumba steps and Cha-cha steps are the same) and continue with Foxtrot on Thursdays (shading into the International Style, which is EVEN MORE FUN! (You don’t have to take our word for it, either. Just come to classes and see your yourselves.)
Looking forward to seeing you all in classes (weekly schedule below). Again, check e-mails before leaving the house, just in case.
Cheers,
Rick and Peggy Nixon
