16 | OHCC LIVING | FEBRUARY 2020 | Exercise for the brain and body has never been so much fun! Our instructor, Christine, does a lot of serious prep work before each class to keep our classes fun. Christine is always looking for new music and dance routines to inspire, motivate, and challenge us — as well as some to "cool down." Here's a small sample of the artists we dance to: George Strait, Santana, Blake Shelton, and Justin Timberlake. This is why we look forward to her classes and keep coming back for more. No experience and no partner required! Classes are in Abravanel Hall, see times below. Dues for the Village Line Dancers are $10 per person, per year. Come try out a class or two before joining! $5 is collected at each class. Village Line Dancers Village Squares Get ready for a year of fun dancing, hugs, and friendship. The Open House on Jan. 8 was very well attended and a lot of fun for all. We enjoyed meeting new members, munching some extraordinary desserts, and dancing too, as our caller Jim Randall got us all up and moving to some of the basic calls. As a new member your first two classes are free, and they started on Jan. 14. Classes continue weekly on Tuesdays from 3 to 5 pm in Abravanel Hall. No prior experience is needed, there are no special dress requirements, and you don't need a partner either. Our experienced dancers, (we call them Angels), dance with every student to help them learn the steps. This year's Board of Village Squares is busy getting to work on a bunch of activities and parties for this year. The Club always plans at least five or six parties per year, in addition to our weekly dances, weekly lessons, and a free extra class on Thursday mornings to help our students remember the new moves. The Club Board Members this year are: Presidents - Ed Olson and Sig Kenney; Vice-Presidents - Phyllis Buvell and Janet Lutman; Treasurer - David Quainton; and Secretaries: Linda Sterger and Linda Drapeau.
