From Steve and Susan:
It was great to get back to dancing! That was a really lo-o-o-o-o-ong break for the holidays.
We talked a little bit about dancer etiquette at break. In a separate email I will send a list of reminders about square dance etiquette. It will also be on my web site under the Square Dance Writing tab.
You were asking about future dances. Here is the list that I compiled:
Friday, January 13: Winter Wonderland Level Dance (Moves 1-55), Samena Squares, 7:30 p.m. rounds, 8-10:30 p.m. squares, Susan Morris, calling, Karen Neverdowski, cueing; Juanita Community Club, 13027 100th Ave NE, Kirkland.
There is conflicting information about this dance. Is it a level dance or not? I will have the definitive word on Wednesday. Or I will send another email.
Friday, January 20: Mardi Gras and Ice Cream Social, Sky Valley Whirlwinds, 7:30 p.m. rounds, 8-10:30 p.m. squares, Dennis “Spyder” Webb, calling, John Neverdowski, cueing; Tri-Way Grange, 3509 Seattle Hill Road, Snohomish. (It’s just east of Mill Creek.)
We will have the information about Promenading Around the Sound in class.
Have a super great weekend! Hope to see you tonight!
Happy dancing,
Susan and Steve
