Ballroom Newsletter, Siskiyou County & Northern California – April 23rd 2024

Dear All,

 

Good news, Kiddiewinkies!  There will be a practice party this week/month!  This Friday (4/26) from 7:00 – 9:00 pm, at the Lake Shastina Community Center (15244 Driftwood Lane, Lake Shastina) you will have the chance to practice (dance) all the dances (that we teach) with each other as if you were at an actual dance party!

Only, you won’t be (as this is only a practice party)!  All the fun with none of the stress!  No expectations of partying-proficiency whatsoever! That way, us amateur partiers can develop our party skills and the more professional partiers can polish the party skills they already have.  Win-win!  And all of us get to develop our dancing skills (by dancing, huzzah huzzah)!  Win-win-win (with a couple of extra win-wins thrown in for good measure!)!

There will be refreshments (feel free to bring any culinary delight you might wish to share {but don’t feel obligated, only if you want to), dress as casually or as fancy as you like, and come to dance.  A $10 donation/person is requested.

In the meantime, come to class so you will have more figures to practice on Friday (and anywhere/anytime else you get to dance).  We will be finishing up the Rumba this Wednesday and the Quickstep on Thursday.  Don’t miss it/them.

Next month we will be offering Foxtrot (Wednesdays) and Cha-cha (Thursdays).  We will be revisiting some of the figures we learned in the Waltz (in the Foxtrot classes) and some of the figures we learned in the Rumba (in the Cha-cha classes) to both demonstrate how the different dances relate to each other and to strengthen the skills already learned by repeating the same steps with slightly different rhythms.  Learning and a good time will be had by all.

Come to classes this week (and all the weeks to follow) where the fun just won’t stop happening!

 

-Cheers,

Rick and Peggy Nixon
