Ballroom Newsletter, Siskiyou County & Northern California – February 1st 2022

Dear All,

 

Correction to last week: It wasn’t Virginia (Ginnie) Woolf but Gertrude (Trudy) Stein who made the “there is no there, there” comment.  But that in no way changes the applicability of the phrase to the ultimate goal of Ballroom Dancing, which gives each and every one of us the chance to progress infinitely, allowing each and every one of us to partake in a small dose of infinity.

 

To make your personal share of infinity just a little bit longer, we will keep the newsletter short this week so you can, as they say, “get on with it”.

 

So:

 

Wednesday nights: Foxtrot – focusing on the SQQ rhythm, starting with simpler steps and moving on to more complex (but still simple -you’ll see . . .but only if you come to class) steps.

 

Thursday nights: Samba – starting with the basics and advancing only as quickly as benefits the whole class (aka a pace that will facilitate learning and remembering and, of course, having fun).

 

Times and place below.

 

Come join us forever!

 

Cheers,

 

Rick and Peggy Nixon

p.s. We are still respecting the mask protocols established by the state (masks not required if vaccinated, if not: masks. (We monitor many other studios in California and Oregon. This seems to be the standard unanimous protocol. We will keep checking and modifying as per industry standards, medical understandings and simple, classical logic – as needed.)
