July
Lessons
Many people have asked
for instruction in the line dance “Crazy Foot Mambo”. Jackie Tally has agreed to teach this
class at 6:30. So come early to
learn it for the first time or brush up on your skills. This is a popular line dance performed
at many of the local dances. Remember if you are learning the dance for the
first time, get in the middle of the group of dancers. There will be experienced
dancers on each side of you to follow as you turn to face the four walls of the
dance.
Samba
We welcome Mack Wilson
and his wife Hope back to
Many of us have seen
the baby dancing the samba on You Tube.
Mack will teach you the proper steps to this fun dance and you don’t have
to wear a diaper to participate.
If you have not seen the
baby dancing the samba, this is the link to the video. http://video.rr.com/?v=2bWThz8klTPW6mdgjyj9H76b1Ersmc8A
Thanks to Jonathan Baumeister and
his assistant Rachel Buchan for the West Coast Swing lesson at our June Sunday
afternoon dance. Rachel was a high school student of Curt and Wendy
Johnson. She has performed for us
in the past and it was a treat to see her dance again.
