NO LESSONS AT VFW AUG 20....... 6:30 AT MARILYN'S INSTEAD

Greetings Country Dancers:

No dance lessons at the VFW this Wednesday August 20. They double booked so we are out until next week!

I am going to do something special this Wednesday Aug 20 at my condo. As some of you know I am down sizing on stuff, so that if I do decide to locate in Florida for a longer period of time, I do not have a lot to move or sell. Rod Lane, one of our dancers, is the Executive Director for Helping Hands in Spfld. I would like to invite all of you to come over to my place tomorrow evening, Wed. Aug 20, and purchase whatever items that may interest you. All of the money that I make on the items will be donated to Helping Hands of Springfield. You are then helping me relocate my worldly treasures and I am passing it forward to Helping Hands. I will be set up to teach a beginner line dance or two. A donation of $2 will go to Helping Hands as well. If you want to bring a simple snack, we can share!

I have a beautiful couch, a few nice chairs, two 8x10 wool rugs, 1 oriental rug, standing picture frames all sizes, baskets and containers, a large shop vacuum and other misc. items. Lora will graciously open her condo for us to use to chat and snack. Come on over at 6:30 and see if you can find anything you could use. Remember that all the money spent will be given to Helping Hands to help people less fortunate than us.

I have the VFW reserved for Sept 21, Oct 19, Nov 16 and Dec 21(Sunday Evenings) from 5:30 -9 to have a All About Country Dance. There will be a lot of floor space for all types of dancing at the same time. Line Dancers in the middle, Flow Dancers around the outside and a space for swing dancers. We had a great time at the last one... so this will be a good time to get together. These dances will be just like what we had in Decatur on Fridays.

See you August 27 at the VFW for Lessons and Dancing.

Hugs,

Marilyn

July 30 VFW Old Jacksonville Rd Spfld Line & Pattern Partner Dance Lessons

Greetings Dancers:

I am so very ready to do some dancing with all of you this Wed and every Wed after. Meet me at the VFW on Old Jacksonville Rd Springfield IL. Lessons start at 6:30 beginning with a half hour of easier beginner dances. At 7 we do dances a little more challenging but loads of fun. George and Sandy Washbond will then teach us a Flow dance that you can do with or without a partner. This is special and you won't  want to miss it. The dance for tomorrow is called California Country.

As I announced last lesson there will be a Birthday cake since my Bday was Saturday and I really enjoy sharing my special days with you all, my Special Friends. Rachel Lattimore is actually bringing the cake and celebrating her birthday also. Bring your hugs to share with us and your joy of dancing. From 8-9:30 the floor is open for requests and all types of dancing.

Wed June 9 VFW Line Dance Lessons

Big Shout Out to Line Dancers:

What a beautiful beautiful day!!! I am going to reteach Hootenanny this evening around 7:30. We will do it to the original song and then to Blood on the Dance Floor by Michael Jackson. I have a new very very easy beginner dance to a song I really like called Itsy Bitsy Spider that I will teach in the 6:30-7 time slot. Nice to have some really basic dances that you can sing along with the music without worrying about your feet.

I will mix in partner dances. We reviewed Invincible last week and we will do that again tonight.

Lessons as usual on Wed at the VFW except July 23. Lora and I will flying back from Dallas. So we will dance Wed July 9, 16, and 30. On July 30 we will celebrate and have cake for birthdays. The Aug 3 Sunday Country dance in canceled because the VFW double booked. I will look for a Sunday in Sept to reschedule. Sorry!    

Hope to see you tonight!!! 

Hugs,

Marilyn :)

Sunday Lesson West Coast Swing & Dance July 6 & 13 at VFW Old Jacksonville Rd Spfld

Greetings Dancers:

Plan to join me Sunday evenings on July 6 & 13 to learn some new concepts for taking our West Coast Swing up a step. This is a wonderful social dance that we can enjoy to many different styles and tempos of music. That being said, I will have a free beginner lesson from 5:30-6, new concepts and social moves from 6-7, and fun social practice dancing from 7-8:30 or 9. Cost for the lesson and dance is $10. Dance only is $5.

This weeks lesson will give you a simple but very effective approach to the left side pass, the tuck turn, the push break, and the whip. They can all be socially led and enjoyable for the follow. Come and check this amalgamation out! You won't be disappointed.

There were some scheduling problems with the Aug 3 date for the Country Dance, so that date is canceled. I will try to reschedule one for Sept..

Let's Do It!!!
