Week of Nov 14 Millikin Lessons, Donnie B's Lessons, how2dnc.country Moose Decatur

Greetings Dancers:   Just a little lineup for the coming week as far as where I will be and what will be happening. Monday night lessons are really exciting. Dancing takes place in the Parquet Room on the lower level of Richards Treat University Center(RTUC) located in the middle of the Millikin Campus in Decatur. We are there at 6:30 for anyone who has questions or wants to review a dance or just fun around. Line dances are taught from 7-8. Next we spend an hour learning and practicing West Coast Swing. Most of the students are sooo very excited about learning a new dance as interesting as West Coast Swing. Our main objective is to have fun while we are learning. Anyone and everyone is welcome no matter what your level of experience. The cover charge is $5 for the evening.   Tuesday night I will be at Donnie B's located in Springfield at the Dog House. From 7-8 we do as many Line Dances as we can do. I personally believe that these dances help you to raise you level of dancing in a very unique manner. Try it...you might be pleasantly surprised. Then from 8-10 the floor is open to whatever the attendees enjoy and desire. I have a good mix and am flexible with our agenda. West Coast Swing is a thread throughtout the evening. Cover charge is $5 for the evening. I will mention that we will probably be meeting on Thursday nights instead of Tuesday starting December 8. I will send out another email etc. but mark your calendars now.   This Friday, Nov 18, I will be at the Moose in Decatur for the how2dnc.country event from 7-10. Taco Salads or Chicken Strips are served to you in the room where we dance. The bar is open to everyone. George and Sandy will review the dance you all liked  so much, Here For A Good Time, and if time allows I will teach a Line Dance called Dreams done to Quando Quando. We always have a good time and I appreciate all of you coming together to celebrate the gift of Dance. A special thanks to each and everyone of you. Bring your treats to share if you like. Even the waitresses like our snacks. The dates for December are Dec 2 & Dec 9. Cover charge is $6 and you do NOT have to be a member to come to the dance.   Your Dancin DJ, Marilyn Ferry 217-836-1438

Fanatistic WCS routine...Mario From Marilyn :)

Greetings West Coasters: Thought you might like to see two of the pros that I highly respect. These people are the best and they really enjoy the dance. Each of us will enjoy it in our own way, but I have decided to enjoy the journey. I want to commend you all for your hard work, attention, and determination to learn a new dance. Take time to remember a moment when you felt something correctly. That is how the successful journey of learning the dance works. Each of you had moments because I experienced them with you. Remember them and listen for the ones to come. See you next Monday. If you get there early, we will go over some part of the dance we did the week before. Thanks for what you give to me! Marilyn :) This shows how really good Mario is musically. Look at this when you have time to enjoy it.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50FUohEQNow&feature=related
