Ballroom Newsletter, Siskiyou County & Northern California – September 12th 2023

Dear All,

So, Swing/Jive was found to be a lot of fun last week, enjoyed by one and all.  Highly successful!  And the Waltz, after a little initial consternation, was also highly successful as the concepts became understood (advanced concepts with beginning steps; takes a little grey matter).  So, all in all, a good start this month.

And a good continuation for those of you who came last week as well as a good start-in-waiting for those of you who wish to join us this week.  Still plenty of room in each (Swing/Jive and Waltz) class for newcomers.  We will, of course, review last week’s steps thoroughly, so you will pick them up easily.  Then: new stuff for all!  Lots of fun for everyone (to coin a slogan).

We have to admit that the Waltz is a little more challenging than usual this month, but it will advance the progress of all who come to class by miles (figuratively speaking), if not immediately then much sooner than one (you) might suspect.

So, give it a shot, don’t give up and you will be amply rewarded (which does not mean rewarded in “amps” {though your energy levels will be suitably elevated once you get it})!  Don’t let the challenge deter you from joining us in the Waltz this month.  Just make sure you don’t leave the grey matter at home.  Bring all you’ve got (just to be safe).

We look forward to seeing you all in classes this week.  Reward us with your presence(s) (not a specific appeal to the schizophrenics among you {we know who you are! [and more importantly, you know who you are!]} but to each and every one! {or, as the old saying goes: I may be schizophrenic, but at least I’ve got each other! [or, what we, in the ballroom world, call an “automatic partner”!]}).

Come for the fun, stay for the skill set improvements (or vice versa)!  It is our job to make sure you won’t be sorry, so come and don’t be sorry (or you’ll be sorry!).

 

Cheers,

Rick and Peggy Nixon
