14 | OHCC LIVING | FEBRUARY 2023 | Line Dancers How's your brain? When you exercise, the levels of chemicals in your brain that encourage nerve cells to grow are increased, and since dancing requires you to remember various steps and sequences, your brain power is boosted, which helps to improve your memory! Dancing also incorporates several brain functions at once – kinesthetic, rational, musical and emotional. Utilizing all of these at the same time can further increase your neural activity, helping reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease and dementia. It's a lot of fun too! Although some of our songs are country western, most are not. Just last week we were learning a dance to Hernando's Hide-away, a tango! Line dance classes are once a week: Beginner (1): Tuesdays, 10:30 – 11:30 am Improver (2): Mondays, 12:30 – 2 pm Intermediate (3): Tuesdays, 12 – 1:30 pm Want to try it out? Come on by. Beginner's class is $5 (60 minutes). Other levels are $7 (90 minutes). You do not have to be a club member for the first couple of 'try it' classes. After that, you will also need to join the club. Dues are $10/year. If you are interested in participating in our activities and are not sure who to reach out to for further information, please call Sunny Griffin (970) 708-0443.

The Doo Wop and Disco Dance Club has a wide range of dance music at our parties… not just Doo Wop music. Some ask "What is Doo Wop" anyway? The term "Doo-Wop" comes from the sounds made by the singing group as they provided harmonic background for the lead singer. Sometimes the background was not really lyrics but just sounds (like a repeated "Doo-wop, doo-wop"). If you are not already a Doo Wop and Disco Club member and would like to learn how to get tickets to these parties, print out the membership form under Social Clubs/Doo Wop Club on OceanHillsCountryClub.com; complete the information, and drop it by the Clubhouse's front desk. Include a check for $10 pp for annual dues. Make your check payable to OH Doo Wop Club. We will send you email invitations to all future parties. The 2023 Board of Directors are excited about another year of parties. Party planning can be as much fun as the parties themselves. They are working hard to team up with members who host a party and bring their special creative fun to it. Together they bring you great parties with the best bands and DJs in the area for an affordable price. We have 10 parties scheduled for this year. Attendance is by lottery. The chance has been very good for everyone who wanted to attend to do so. Save the date for our next party: Sat., Feb. 18. The theme will be Mardi Gras!
