John and Sherry Linderman

What a wonderful night we had with the Linderman's. John's lesson left us loving Night Club 2 Step. His style of teaching and repetition gave us a solid base for our new moves. Remember to practice!

They also introduced and taught Circle ChaCha for our mixer. I think we amazed ourselves that we did such a great job of learning. Our teacher next month, Jason Raimey, will go over it again and we will give it another try.

December Holiday Hop

Jason Raimey is back and will be teaching us a Waltz/Foxtrot silver pattern that you can use in continuity.

Sandra Lucas-Hyde will be back with our Holiday songs to dance to.

The club will be providing a HAM for dinner.

Bring your favorite side dishes to go with ham.

You all out did yourselves for sides in November. Can't wait to sample this month's choices.

Please RSVP for December Dance
