Happy Hoppers Newsletter #19
02/06/2012
From Steve and Susan:
Another great class! Can you believe that next week is Week #20?
Monday will be our last class. It is party night! We will do lots of dancing and celebrating. Steve and Larry and I will be there early. Please feel free to come early for warm up and review.
Congratulations to those of you who have joined the Happy Hoppers!
As we have said several times, once you finish class keep dancing. Every time you dance you get better and better. You remember more of the calls and how to do them. Your response time gets quicker. Pretty soon you will realize that you do not have to think that much when you hear a call, you just respond and do it.
The Happy Hoppers will be having workshops beginning Monday, February 27. Steve will be calling those. The Samena Squares will be having workshops too beginning March 15 on Thursday nights.
Happy dancing,
Susan and Steve
PS Hope we see some of you at the Samenas tonight.
