Ballroom Newsletter, Siskiyou County & Northern California – March 11th 2025
Dear All,
Well, last week’s Samba class was a hoot! “Hootier than the Swing class?” we hear our Thursday night students ask us, plaintively (and yes, ‘hootier’ is exactly the word they used!). Well, no, but not for the same reasons.
The Thursday night Swing class was a hoot because it was a large class (and you can’t have that many people having that much fun without hootiness raising its head at some point during the festivities). And the Wednesday night class was a hoot for exactly the opposite reason! We only had two people show up, but they were two of our more advanced students and we were able to move to a slightly more advanced curriculum (and what is our school motto, kiddiewinkies? All together now: “the more advanced the more fun!” {thank you all for chiming in. Your participation, as always, has been a source of gratification and delight to us both [not to mention ‘each’ of us\whoa! A quadruple parenthetical phrase! Are we on fire today or what?/]!})
But don’t let that frighten anyone new who may be interested in Samba. We always take steps (so to speak) to make sure everyone at every level gets what he or she requires to become adept dancers (and profligate funsters!).
So come join us Wednesday nights for a class of Botafogos and Voltas happily taught at whatever level you bring with you.
And join us Thursday night “Swing/Jive” for even more fun. It cannot be said often enough that there can never be too much ‘hootiness’ in the world. Or perhaps once has been enough. In any event, come and hoot your hearts out!.
Make sure you check your emails before you leave the house for classes this week. The inclemencies of the weather may (hopefully for the last time this Winter) interfere once again with class. We will let you know as soon in the day as possible if we have to cancel (for your own safety).
We do not anticipate it, but then, we didn’t the last times, either.
See you there (we declare confidently)!
Cheers,
Rick and Peggy Nixon
