Newsletter – Dec 18th 2012
Dear Dancer,
Classes will be held as usual this week and will be the last weekday classes for December. So come this week for the final installment of this month’s dance.
Next week there will be no classes because of the Christmas Holidays, except for the Saturday morning Technique class which will be held on December 29th). Just a “Heads Up”.
For those of you whose fingers are too tired to scroll down to the Saturday evening section (because of all the typing from ordering gifts over the internet), we are copying the information for the Christmas Ball up here. As follows:
Come and join in on the fun at our Christmas Ball on December 22, 7:00-9:30 at the Mt. Shasta Park Main Lodge
6:00 – 7:00 pm: Waltz Lesson
7:00 – 9:30 pm: Christmas Ball and Potluck
Cost: $7 per person ($5/ person if you bring a dish or desert).
We have definite confirmation that two of our middle-school aged students will be doing a demonstration and are still hoping for more of them to join it. Come for an evening of fun, food and dancing.
Also, the Christmas Ball will be the last chance to pick up a Holiday Gift Certificate before Christmas, so if you want to give the gift of dance to someone as a Christmas present, that will be your last chance. You can still call or e-mail us before then if you can’t come to the Ball (or any of our classes) but we will be leaving town for the Holidays on Dec. 23rd, so make sure you get to us before then.
There are private lesson packages and group lessons with dance party packages. We can also tailor a package to fit your interests and needs if you like. The cost for the different packages can be found on our website at www.mtshastadance.com.
See you on dance floor.

This class uses basic Bronze (and some Silver) steps to develop and strengthen your ability to dance smoothly and boldly (which, just between you and me, is where the real fun is hidden). The International Technique also applies to American Style dances and will strengthen ones ability to have more power and control when dancing in the American Style.
