Dear Friends,
I hope your favorite team won the Super Bowl!
Good class Thursday night. We were still missing some of our class members. I hope to see you all back this week.
We are getting down to only a few weeks left of class. Five to be exact. Graduation is scheduled for March 10. My goal is to finish teaching all the calls by the end of this month (2/24). That will give us a couple of weeks to smooth out the rough edges and work on some of the variations you might see at a dance.
Since we don't have 15 more weeks of dancing to practice our newest calls it is important for everyone to be at each class, for the whole night, if at all possible.
The next student level dance in our area is Friday, February 18 at the Square Crows. They dance at the Sammamish Valley Grange by the Hollywood Schoolhouse across the valley. I hope you can come.
Happy dancing,
Susan
