Great Weekend For Dancing

Greetings Dancers; Wanted to be sure you knew about the dance in Decatur Friday night, Oct 7, put on by Decatur Memorial Hospital to kick off National Breat Cancer Awareness Month. You are encouraged to wear Pink attire. The dance is called An Evening In Pink. This is a great opportunity to get to dance in the ballroom of the historic Decatur Club located downtown Decatur with a wood floor.  The address is 158 West Prairie Street. Kidd Kadillac & the Continentals Band will be playing a lot of 50's and 60's music. The dance is from 7-10:00 serving what they call Heavy Hors D'oeuvres for only $15 a person. You can buy your tickets at the door but a courtesy call to register would be appreciated. ( 217-876-2850) I plan on being there and look forward to dancing with you. Bring your friends and let's have a party. Some of us are lucky to be survivors of Breast Cancer. Each day we have is a gift. Then, if you are so inclined, Sat, Oct 8, you can head over to Savoy and enjoy an evening of club dancing, as David puts it. From 8-11 you can dance West Coast Swing, Night Club Two Step, Salsa, Bachata and ChaCha. He has a really nice facility and a nice bar. I plan on being there as well. For those of you who attended the Red Cross Dance in Springfield, I want to say thank you for a wonderful fun filled evening. You are the BEST!! Keep Dancing. Hope to see you this weekend.

Millikin Monday night Line & Swing Dance Lessons 7-9

Greetings Friends: The Monday night Line & Swing Dance lessons are in the Parquet Room on the lower level at RTUC(Richards Treat University Center..located in the center of the campus East of the Fine Arts building) from 7-9:00. We will be doing Line Dances from 7-8:00 and Swing Lessons from 8-8:30 leaving a half hour to practice whatever we would like.    The weekly charge will be $5. Students from Millikin will be free. I would like to encourage as many of you as possible to come for the purpose of getting the students involved. Dancing has done many positive things for all of us, and I believe it is a perfect form of exercise, stress release, and socialization. This is why I have chosen to allow the students to join us at no charge. I have also chosen to charge on a weekly basis due to the financial stresses currently. Those of us who know and learn these dances easily due to our experience will be given the opportunity to share with the new people who will be joining us each week. This could make the classes more difficult, but I choose to believe it can make them more fun. No pressure......just desiring for everyone to have a good time. SPREAD THE WORD!!! Remember to mark your calendars for the how2dnc.country dances the rest of this year. The Decatur Moose, at 3190 N. Woodford, has a wonderful wood dance floor with lots of room for us to do all of our dances. Everyone is welcome. You do not have to be a member to come to these dances. This is open to the public since I rent the room. Hope to see you there with your friends. The lesson starts at 7:00 and the dance runs to 10:30.
