Ballroom Newsletter, Siskiyou County & Northern California – June 4th 2024

Dear All,

 

Well, in all this warm weather, the wellsprings have run dry and I find myself bereft of humor, cleverness and creativity, so I’m afraid it’s a bare-bones, just-the-facts-ma’am newsletter today.

We begin the Waltz this Wednesday for the month of June.  Those of you who were there for the Foxtrot will be happy to hear that we will be waltzifying many of the steps you did in last month’s Foxtrot, then beginning to build thereupon (thereby increasing your vocabulary in both dances whilst simultaneously giving you a valuable lesson in the process of how to “waltzify” {not to mention, perhaps, how to also “foxtrotify” Waltz steps as you practice converting any Waltz steps you learn this month back to Foxtrot steps [and even further, not to mention showing you how to put the words “thereupon” and “thereby” side by side in a sentence]}).

And for those of you who did not take Foxtrot last month, it will be bunches of fun brand new steps for you that will be easy to learn.  If you are not used to getting your fun in bunches, join us for a first-time experience.  In any event: Waltz this month (and we say whoopee!)

Then, Swing/Jive on Thursdays, also for the month.  A vigorous, exciting dance good for the wind and muscles both, not to mention a real exuberance-generator of a dance.  Come and be exuberated like you’ve never been exuberated before!  Unless I miss my guess, for many of you, being exuberated will be another first-time experience.

Well, it looks like I have already put too way much flesh on what was supposed to have been a “bare-bones” newsletter, so we will wrap it up with a hearty “see you there!”  as we look forward to . . . well . . . seeing you there and with smiles on your faces yet again.  Or even without.  It is, after all, one of our jobs to put them there.  And so we will.

 

See you there!

 

Cheers,

Rick and Peggy Nixon
