Ballroom Newsletter, Siskiyou County & Northern California – December 17th 2024
Dear All,
Well, kiddie-winkies, it looks like this may be the last week of classes for both the month and the year! Next Wednesday is Christmas day and Mt. Fitness will be (rightfully) closed and the following Wednesday is New Years day (when Mt. Fitness will also be {rightfully or wrongfully}) closed, so this week is it for the Wednesday night class.
And, due to the ravages of an inclement climate (working in conjunction with the Christmas holidays) we have decided to suspend class on the day after Christmas (12/26) so that you all can relax and guiltlessly spend an extra day with your relatives and friends and, also, so you can all not feel badly about not having to brave the elements (not to be confused with “braving the elephants” {an entirely different kind of braving, believe you me}) to get to a class where you might end up being the only student there (Merry Christmas).
So, after this week (Viennese Waltz on Wednesday and Nightclub Two Step on Thursday with the plethora of new steps we have planned), no classes until the first week of January (and then not even the first day in January). The Dancing New Year begins on Thursday, January 2nd with the Bolero. And then, on the following Wednesday (January 8th) the Foxtrot will fire up and we will be off and galloping (make that gavotting) into 2025.
Some folks expect 2025 to be a year of promising good things. Make sure that dancing is one of them. Others expect 2025 to be a year that promises unexpected (and expected) unpleasant events. Make sure that not being able to dance isn’t one of them. It sounds like a choice, but it is, instead, a mandate: Dance!
That way you can, depending upon your point of view, be able to declare “I danced through the good years” or “I danced through the bad years”. And that is a choice! (Except for the dancing part, the best absence-of-choice ever!)
But come to classes this week so we can wish all of you a Merry Christmas or a Happy Hanukkah (or a chappy Chanukah if you will {and even if you won’t}) or a kwazy Kwansaa (or a (“your-adjective-here” “your-belief-system-here”) face-to-face for a final year’s–end wishing of all the best for the holidays and the new year.
And if you really can’t make it: we wish you all the best for the holidays and the new year – may it surprise us all with unexpected blessings (we already know what the expected blessing are).
See you in class.
Cheers,
Rick and Peggy Nixon
