Samena Squares Lesson #16
01/16/2014
Dear Friends,
Way to go Seahawks!!!
Great dancing Thursday night! Everyone is doing great!
We are down to the last dozen or so moves. We will be learning those in the next few weeks. As you will see below the club caravan to Pi-R Squares on February 8 will feature moves 1 – 61. We will definitely have learned all those calls by then. So put that date on your calendar.
This is a gentle reminder to TOUCH HANDS after every call! Okay, maybe all caps was not such a gentle reminder. Seriously, it will help you know where you are in the formation. Get in the habit now! As we are learning the last few calls, formations will change with only a couple of steps. It will be important that you know where you are in order to do the next call or know if you are the one to do the next call.
A second reminder…gentle hands! No pushing or pulling or grabbing. Keep your thumbs to yourself.
Kip and Jeffrey, we hope you are both better. We missed you!
Future dance dates:
Friday, February 7: First Friday Fun Fest at the Whirlybirds, squares 7:30 – 10:30 p.m. Dave Harry, calling, at the Hayloft, 15320 35th Ave W, Lynnwood.
Friday, February 8: Pi-R Squares, Square workshop 7:30 – 8 p.m., Squares 8 – 10:30 p.m., Mike Olsen, calling, and Marge Kost, cueing, at the Meridian Grange, 15422 Kent-Kangley Rd, Kent. Square dance moves 1 – 61.
Friday, February 28: Chocolate Disco Dance at the Samena Squares, squares 8 – 10:30 p.m. Susan Morris, calling, and Karen Neverdowski, cueing.
Have a super week! See you Thursday!
Happy dancing,
Susan
