Ballroom Newsletter, Siskiyou County & Northern California – May 1st 2024
Dear All,
Even though it is still April (for one day more) the first class of the week will be in May, so this will be considered the first May newsletter. And the whole week (well, weekend) is packed with powerhouse holidays! Saturday, May the fourth is “Star Wars Day” (as in “may the fourth be with you” {which, I suppose, would make it “Thtar Warth Day”}) and Sunday is Cinco de Mayo! This is one celebratory weekend!
And of course, with a myriad of Star Wars and Cinco de Mayo themed ballroom dance venues available to one and all you will want to all prepare yourselves to . . . what’s that? . . . Peggy has just informed me that there are almost no Star Wars themed ballroom dance parties in the universe (let alone the world) and if there are any Cinco de Mayo dance parties they will almost all be Salsa (and only Salsa)-oriented. I must have dreamed the rest (I do seem to remember {in the, what I now know was a dream} many waltzing Wookies which, at the time, did not seem unusual {though I suppose the yodelling Yodas should have been a give-away).
You are already set up to attend the Cinco de Mayo parties but come join us this week on Wednesdays for the Cha-cha (the second most popular Latin dance {after Salsa}) and on Thursdays for the Foxtrot (the easiest of all the Smooth dances) to prepare yourselves for that inevitable day when Ballroom Dancing will be the primary activity of all Star Wars Days to come! (Hm. I think I may still be dreaming!)
In any event we will always be glad to see you in class and you can’t go wrong by preparing yourselves for more dancing rather than less and more dances rather than fewer. See you all in class.
And, speaking of holidays, Happy May Day, everyone!
-Cheers,
Rick and Peggy Nixon
