Ballroom Newsletter, Siskiyou County & Northern California – March 4th 2025
Dear All,
So here we are in March, the month of Spring (which is a mere 16 {and counting [down, that is]} days away) and we cannot think of two more celebratory dances than Swing/Jive and Samba (though, with a monthly name like “March”, we should be teaching Paso Doble instead, which is the marchiest of the dances {don’t worry, we won’t}).
Samba will be taught on Wednesday nights (6:45 – 7:45 pm) is a vigorous and energetic dance that is ideal for shaking off the Winter Doldrums (literally). The phrase “shake a leg” comes to mind (even though we won’t be teaching the Hokey-Pokey) and to that we would like to expand the list from just “leg” to your head, your arms, your torso and, of course, your booty.
Thursday nights we will be teaching the Swing again. It is a very popular dance and you were so badly short-changed in February because of classes being snowed out that we are offering it again (hooray!). We will start at the beginning (though, for those of you who did attend in February, we will be teaching some of the different beginning steps so that you will still learn more figures) and add the more complex (fun) steps as the month progresses. As usual.
So join us and shake a leg (plus), kick up your heels and raise your spirits. We will do everything we can to get you to do all three and more (and, don’t worry, we still have a few tricks up our sleeves {or up our pantlegs?} to make it happen).
As always, we look forward to seeing you all there. Again!
Cheers,
Rick and Peggy Nixon
