Happy New Year, Dancers! All members and guests are cordially invited to the next NABDS ballroom dance at Rainbow City CC on Saturday Jan. 21, 2012. The fabulous and talented George Winter band will start the ballroom music at 7:30PM…live! The cover charge is $5 for members and $10 for nonmembers. Everyone’s New Year’s resolution should be to dance as often as possible. Don’t miss this opportunity to start 2012 off right! Mark your calendar and pick out that dressy dress or pants and lay out that sport coat and tie. The dress code for this dance is coat and tie for the gentlemen and dressy or after five for the ladies.
People tell me how much they enjoy the music of George Winter. The length and beat of each song is tailored to the ballroom dancer. You never have to guess what dance to do because he always provides a list of the songs and dances. You will love George if you enjoy ballroom dancing. Come early and bring a guest! Thanks in advance to Don and Tammy Young and Ken and Jenny Howell for hosting the dance this month. They enjoy throwing a party. You won’t want to miss this!
Thanks to all that attended the Christmas dance you made it a great success! The Christmas dance was a magical winter wonderland. There wasn’t snow outside but we had lots of snowflakes inside that didn’t melt. The tables were decorated in white and icy blues. We danced to the Tradewinds who played wonderful Christmas ballroom music. The catered buffet was filled with yummy gourmet treats. Willie and Robie Grana, Jack Swift, and Monty and Judy Allen performed wonderful exhibitions during the band breaks. But what made the dance spectacular was that over eighty beautiful ballroom dancers attended and filled the room with the spirit of the season. |

Hosting is quite easy especially if there are several of you working together. There are NABDS decorations available for you to use just give Margie a call. The Club will also help with expenses up to $30. If you haven’t signed up to host a dance please see me at the next dance or better yet call me at (256) 494-0089. Dance Floor Etiquette… This is what makes our dances the best! Dancers should always be courteous on a crowded floor and remember; •The line of dance is counterclockwise. •Stationary dancers keep toward the middle so others can move around the perimeter. •Watch your swing back step to avoid stepping on others. •Limit the size of your steps and moves to the space available. •Offer an apology when accidentally bumping or stepping on other dancers. Gentlemen always walk the ladies back to their seats and thank them for the dance.
Thanks to the support of our members the NABDS has provided a monthly dance venue for twenty years and counting. In good times or bad, regardless of the politics or economy our club has provided a dance party where you can come for fun and fellowship. So put on those evening clothes come dance with your sweetie and friends. Dancing is good for your heart and soul. You never have the blues when you dance! How much is that worth?
See you on the dance floor! Linda VP |
