Sedona Shadows Club House: 6770 S Hwy 89A, Sedona, 86336

Head west on Hwy 89A toward Cottonwood, go down the hill past the high school, at 2.5 miles look for Sedona Pines (time share place with lots of flags) on the right. (A yellow highway sign will indicate Red Moon View is the next place to turn, but there is no street name when you turn.)  Slow down and turn right at the 2nd entrance (look for more, but fewer, flags) and look for Sedona Shadows signs. After you've turned, drive straight 500 feet and then turn left  on Sunset Hills Drive.  First street is Cochise way; make a right and go till you see the office and the pool.  Park in guest parking areas.

at the world famous Museum Club!!!!
museum club
Line dance Instructor: Annette Fallaha

Here is what Annette has planned for Line Dance:

*      SCHEDULE FOR JULY 30 AND MONTH OF AUGUST!

*      Tuesdays are August 6, 13 & 27       None on the 20th (Band at the Zoo)!

*      Thursdays are August 1, 8, 15 & 29   None on the 22nd (normal 4th Th off)!

*      SO "NO" CLASSES WEEK OF 4TH WEEK OF AUGUST!!

*      New dances so far are:Pony Up, Aw Naw and later on maybe learn Be May Baby Now



The Couples dance for August is Arizona Two-step / Half-time.  I have heard for a long time that it is easy to go back and forth between these dances -  and if you can do one, you can do the other...  That has never worked for me, though.  Maybe this month, it will....

Arizona Two-step, at least is an easy-to-learn dance, that still has enough variety to keep it interesting.  And there are some songs (actually, many songs...) that just fit Arizona Two-step so well (or maybe it is, Arizona Two-step fits the songs so well....).  Anyway - it is a good dance to learn, particularly if you dance at places like the Museum Club.
