Ballroom Newsletter, Siskiyou County & Northern California – February 25th 2025
Dear All,
Well, it looks like two of the five layers of clothing we’ve all been wearing has come off this week; it looks like a warming trend has hit us. Perhaps by the end of this week the remaining extra two layers will come off and we will be back to only one layer (as God intended).
To speed that process up, come to dance classes and you’ll be down to one layer in no time at all, given the aerobic and pyrogenic nature of both the Quickstep and the Swing. We can think of no better way to speed Spring on its merry way than dancing (both an inducement and celebration of the re-birth of the (northern) hemisphere) and invite (nay, exhort) you all to join us this week (and next month).
This is the last week of the Quickstep (Wednesday night) so come and learn some new steps that will give you (the dancer) greater maneuverability on the dance floor. And you will be glad to hear (read) that we will be continuing Swing/Jive (Thursday) in March on account of half the classes being snowed out in February. But come this Thursday for the last Swing class of February (which will be only slightly more advanced) to get your feet wet (you haven’t lived until you have danced Swing/Jive with wet feet {I know we haven’t!}).
March is going to be slightly irregular, this year, in that we are going to have two Latin dances instead of one Latin and one Standard (aka Smooth). Because we are continuing Swing in March, we will be pushing Tango into April but leaving Samba in place on Wednesdays. Hooray: another month of vigorous dancing!
Come join us and start gearing up both your vim and your vigor for Spring (and for yourselves!). We look forward to seeing your smiling faces and hearing your dancing feet and listening to your merry laughter.
Cheers,
Rick and Peggy Nixon
