Night at the Movies & Movie Contest

     On Friday, March 28th, we will host a special dance. Bill and Sharon will be playing celebrated music from the movies. They have combed their archives for the finest and most memorable music that accompanied the silver screen. Bill and Sharon will also conduct a movie contest. Prizes will be available for those that can name the movies their music came from. Details on how to play will be available at the dance. We look forward to having a great time with everyone. Popcorn will be available.

     We also have a special lesson planned. We will be learning the Petaluma Waltz by Marida Martin. This is a type of mixer where dancers pair up to dance a choreographed routine, then rotate through partners at certain intervals. They are very enjoyable to dance and are quite beautiful to see unfold on the floor. We will be dancing the Petaluma Waltz during the evening, so it is highly recommended that dancers arrive for the lesson to become proficient.

     Come out and enjoy an evening of ballroom, latin, and swing with us; it is certain to be a grand time. See you there. ~Robert

Solemn thanks

     On February 8th, Sandra Sarrano visited our club. A dear friend of hers passed away recently and she has the duty of settling his estate. Her friend loved to dance, and as such she felt he would have wanted some of his wealth to support dance clubs such as ours. She made a donation in her friend's memory. We are sorry for her loss and thank her for her generousity. She doesn't dance much herself, but we have made her an honorary member none the less.
