Ballroom Newsletter, Siskiyou County & Northern California – March 25th 2025
Dear All,
Wow. Here it is, the last week of March. For a month named after so prosaic an activity as marching, it sure scampered through quickly enough. Next year we will refer to this month as “Scamper”. Remember this and don’t be confused.
So, “final week of the month” usually means “grand finale figures” (or steps {though, technically, “figure” is the correct term for the overall pattern and “step” is the correct term for each individual element of that pattern, as in: ‘this figure consists of four steps’. But since the terms seem to be universally interchangeable in Dance Studios throughout the world, it could be supposed that it is probably unimportant. Still, nice to know, n’est pas?}).
Since no one made it to Samba class last week (on Wednesday), we will be picking up where we left off the week before, so don’t stay away out of fear of having fallen behind (not to be mistaken for “a fallen behind’ which those of us {no names!} of a certain age are, regrettably, beginning to confront {if one can, in fact, ‘confront’ a ‘behind’}). You have missed nothing and you will enjoy what we will have to offer. Boy howdy and how!
And we will be dredging up something new for Thursday’s Swing class, hopefully not too complicated for the newbies but challenging enough for the oldbies to be excited (the old in “oldbies” referring to experience, not age {though often the two do go hand in hand [if not foot to foot]}). An enjoyable prospect for one and all (we are hoping).
So, join us for the grand wind-up for the month of Scamper and have the time of your lives! Then rejoin us next month (so far still bearing the name April) for Tango (on Wednesdays) and Salsa (on Thursdays). Another fun month of dance offered just for you!
Looking forward to seeing you there, each and every.
Cheers,
Rick and Peggy Nixon
