Village Line Dancers Doo Wop Our group of dancers are truly troopers! We are learning new dances, new steps, and new formations each week to prepare for our June 2020 show. Sometimes our classes and practices do take their toll with sore knees, hips, and shoulders. However, our love for dance with the aid of some Ibuprofen or Tylenol help us through the aches and pains. Since our tap teacher, Yvonne Romano has combined all the tap classes and all the jazz classes for our opening and closing numbers, we are attempting to all meet together once a month to practice together. Yvonne has worked with each group separately, and now she is attempting to combine the groups to create two wonderful production numbers. There will be about 20 of us dancing at the same time for each of these dances! We will definitely fill up the stage. In addition, Helen Sloan, our main character and singer, is working on dialogue to bring the dances together into a real show. She is already working on a script. She will be our ringmaster. There is still time to join us. We recently had two new ladies join our ranks. They are loving the experience.
