Ballroom Newsletter, Siskiyou County & Northern California, March 18th 2025

Dear All,

 

It looks like we are going to be able to “Swing into Spring” this Thursday, since Thursday will be the first day of Spring (switching over at 2:01 am, giving us the whole day) and the next-to-the-last day of Swing classes (the last one being next week, (March 27th).  Which means that on Wednesday, we will be able to “Samba out of Winter” (a very popular holiday on the South American continent).

And as Monday was St. Paddy’s Day, it’s hopin’ we are that ye’ll jine us fer a jig or two (and by ‘jig; we mean Samba {on Wednesday} and {/or} Swing {on T’arsday} . . . and by ‘jig or two” I am definitely not referring to that most frightening of all the Gaelic legends, the ‘Jiggertew’ {a distant [but not nearly distant enough] relative of the Jabberwock} which is so heinous a creature that it is never, ever brought up in polite society {so we’re not surprised that you have never heard of it before!).  And I promise not to speak in dialect in class if you show up.

Keeping it short (for a change).  See you’s all there (note the plural {and very Irish} use of the word “you”!).

 

Cheers,

Rick and Peggy Nixon
