18 | OHCC LIVING | JULY 2019 | Village Squares Each July, Village Squares invites all of the square dance clubs in the surrounding areas to join us for one of our Wednesday club dances. Many of our members visit the other clubs' dances and we all enjoy seeing old friends and making new ones. The first of these occasions this year will be our Red, White, and Blue dance on July 17. Andy Allemao, who is an amazingly energetic caller, will lead us in a fun night. Our members supply a fantastic spread of appetizers and desserts to welcome our neighboring clubs. With our Tuesday classes, Wednesday club dances, Thursday review class and Thursday night round dance classes, there are plenty of opportunities for our club members and students. The round dance classes are also open to Ballroom club members. We finished up with waltz in our June round dance classes, and are taking July and August off. Our square dance students have done a great job learning the Mainstream calls and are starting on the Mainstream plus program. Please check out our website at http://ohccvillagesquares.wix.com/ villagesquares. Along with a monthly calendar of events, there are also links to other club dances in the area, videos of all the dance moves the students are learning, pictures, and videos of our club events, and even a video of Sam, the square dancing dog. Any questions, please contact our president, Pete Cannon at OHCCVillageSquares@gmail. com. Line Dance Class Mondays: Line dance is a fun way to exercise. The line dance class gives singles an opportunity to dance solo at the monthly dances and couples a chance to reinforce the steps without trying to lead/follow a partner. Tai Lien, OHCC resident and club member, volunteers to teach our line dance class. This month, Tai is teaching the Foxtrot. We will meet in Abravanel Hall from 4:45 to 5:30 pm. It is free for Ballroom Dance Club members. Membership is $10, pay at the front desk. Lessons for Couples Wednesdays: Ryan Lockhart and Danelle Newman, Area Dance Directors for Fred Astaire Dance Studios, teach our weekly classes. Couples are also learning the Foxtrot, this month. They meet at Abravanel Hall. Beginners meet from 3 to 4 pm and Intermediate meet from 2 to 3 pm. The cost is $5 for club members, $7 for non-members, pay at the door. Round Dance Thursdays: The Ballroom and Square Dance Clubs sponsor this class taught by Regina Aubrey. Dancers learn ballroom dance steps then dance in a circle while the steps are cued. This month, we are learning the Waltz. They meet in Abravanel Hall from 6:30 to 8 pm. The cost is $5 per class. There are dance parties on the second Friday of the month. Dancing to live music on our first-class Abravanel Hall dance floor is a treat you won't want to miss!
