Special Beginner Lessons VFW Before Wed Lessons in June at 6-6:45 See Schedule Below

  I am so Excited! A special time is being blocked off on Wed evenings in June at the VFW for Beginners to Line Dancing. Everyone is welcome to bring guests who are self conscious and timid about dancing. I believe dancing in any form can change our lives for the good. Line dancing is a great way to start. You are only responsible for yourself so you can take all of the credit when it feels really good. You can easily learn how to dance to the beat of the music because everyone is doing the same thing.... well most of the time. LOL!!! Sometimes we each make a little variation which could be called a mistake but we have different positive words to describe those moments. They can be moments of opportunity to learn to laugh at ourselves and just have fun.

The beginners lesson will be from 6-6:45. From 6:45-7 we will have open dance so every one can get to know each other. From 7-8:00 we will work on a new dance or review ones we want to remember. From 8-9 we are open to take requests and just have fun practicing. This whole evening is only $5. There is no extra charge for how good you feel when you head for home.

Our next Sunday Country Dance will be June 21. Last Sunday, May 31,we started the Country Dance at 5:00 (new time) and danced until 8:30. The idea is to give people from out of town an earlier time to drive home and get ready for work. FYI.....The snack spread was amazing. Gary's smoked ham sandwiches were to die for. He smoked the ham himself. Love it when a man cooks! Jim forced me to eat a piece of the wonderful pie they brought. It was delicious. Crystal shared her homemade pickles which were really special. First because she made them, second because they were sliced thin, and third because they were between a dill and a bread and butter flavor. I do love condiments! Lots more to choose from and then birthday cake for our special Aunt. She loved it when we sang Happy Birthday ( NOt Really) but we did it anyway. Margie and her son, and Crystal and her husband came early to help Roger and I clean up after bingo and set up the room. Different ones refreshed our minds on how the dances went and others taught us dances we did years ago.

I just want to say again that each of you dancers who come to share yourselves and be a part of this dance community are off the charts. Amazing beyond words! I feel loved and safe to be myself with you all and I thank you with all my heart.

See You Wednesday!!
