34 | SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | SEPTEMBER 2021 | Country Western Dance We are planning on starting very basic line dance lessons on Mon., Sept. 13, in the South Clubhouse at 7 pm. Everybody will be starting with the most basic steps and dances. If you are new to line dancing, please come and we will try to make you feel comfortable. Remember, there is no charge and no obligation. At this point we don't know what restrictions will be required. Hopefully at most, just masks. Instead of monthly dances in the Main Clubhouse Ballroom we will have three or four Dance Parties. One will be the traditional Holiday Dance in early December. For our dance friends, please come back and also encourage your friends and neighbors to come and try line dancing. Tap Dance We are working hard on Sun Lakes Follies Acts, therefore new classes will start in October. Contact Jeann Svarvar at (951) 990- 2779 or svarvar@svarvar.net The Stardust Dancers practiced hard for our performance on stage in August to celebrate our Sun Lakes Summer Games! After this performance we will be getting ready for the Sun Lake Follies. I would like to give a shout out to our military dancers. They have worked hard and did a splendid job! They are Emily Alvarez, Carlie Beakes, Arlene Faren, Evelyn Hawkins, Maureen Heyen, Mary Huffman, Nora Huffman, Marilyn Le Blanc, Effie Skasick, and Jan Williams.
