FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | FEBRUARY 2019 43 Let's Dance (ballroom dance) Line Dancing Our Christmas Dinner Dance was a great evening once again with over 150 guests! We always enjoy these events and we thank you for your great support. Along with good food, music, and dancing we were treated to some very special entertainment. With choreography and guidance from our professional dance instructors Cindy and Rhonda, and lots of practice, 16 of our club members presented a graceful and beautifully executed Formation Waltz. Bravo! We enjoyed dancing the East Coast Swing in January and look forward to learning the Fox Trot, Tango, Cha Cha, Waltz and Viennese Waltz, Country Western, Salsa/Mambo and Rumba during 2019. We typically learn a new dance each month with reviews of the dances we have learned so far. As a reminder to any new residents or any of our neighbors who are thinking about dance, this is just a social dance group having lots of fun. We recognize the limitations we have as we age. We hate to admit it, but we're not as flexible as we were, don't have as much stamina, and our joints complain more. Even so, our form of dancing is helpful in keeping our bodies fit and providing good activity for our minds. Plan to join us in the Ballroom on Monday nights from 6 to 7 pm for Newcomers and Beginners, and from 7 to 8 pm for Intermediate and Advanced. The cost is $10 per person with our professional instructors. For information, contact Puring or Gary Stifter at (951) 922-8333 or at purings@verizon.net. ~ Sue Condurachi The new year is underway and it is time to put down that cookie and come dance with us. Country Line Dance started off the year with a "Sock Hop" in January. As usual, it was well attended and a great way to start the year. Dancing keeps you young and is great exercise for the body and brain. Plus, it is fun! The new session of the Beginners Line Dance Class began on Jan. 8. Janine Rohrbacker is teaching the three-month session. She started teaching easy dances such as the Electric Slide. These beginning dances include basic steps like the vine and the jazz-box that are used in many of the dances we do. Even if you have never danced, this instruction will help you become a good dancer and it is fun! Beginners Class starts at 2 pm every Tuesday in the Ballroom. The Intermediate Class begins at 3 pm and is taught by Martha Franck and Janine Rohrbacker. There is less step-by-step instruction, except when a new dance is being taught. Dances are reviewed as needed. If you have taken the Beginners Class, don't be afraid to try out the Intermediate Class. All the same steps you have learned are in these dances. It will challenge you and keep your brain and body in shape. The Advanced Class begins at 3:45 pm. Martha Franck has been teaching the advanced dance "Bobbi with an I." It is a complicated dance, but a lot of fun! Bring water and wear shoes that can slide on the wood floor. A donation of $1 per week will be used to host our parties and sock-hops. Please remember to sign-in each week. All classes are held on Tuesday afternoon in the Ballroom. ~ Cindy Schwinn; cmsausten@aol.com Line Dancing is for guys too!
