14 | OHCC LIVING | APRIL 2023 | Line Dancers Benefits, continued from last month… Line Dancing will: 1. Improve your confidence. Helps overcome feeling of having "two left feet:" Offers sense of pride and accomplishment and improves your coordination. 2. Provide you with a dance outlet whether you have a partner or not. Today, it seems there is a line dance for just about any song you can think of. If not, many line dances are timed that they can fit multiple songs providing you many dance opportunities. 3. Provide you a way to practice. You always hear that practice is necessary to improving your dance but you may not know exactly how or what to practice. Line dances are a perfectly structured means to practice dance technique. And the list goes on and on… Line dance classes are once a week: Beginner (1): Tuesday 10:30 – 11:30 am Improver (2): Monday 12:30 – 2:00 pm Intermediate (3): Tuesday 12:00 – 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.

There's something about music that livens the spirit all the way down to your feet. Our first dance party of 2023 really rocked the Mardi Gras theme. Our band, Hot Pursuit, kicked off the party with "Jambalaya" and then our favorites from the 60s through the 80s. Our members really got into the Mardi Gras spirit with costumes. We welcomed many members to their first Doo Wop Dance party. Among them, Ruth and Jim Seccombe (pictured above right). They said, "We had a great time seeing old friends and meeting new ones." Party Coordinator, Sue Silva worked with party co-hosts (center photo, left to right) Linda Rios, Joni Molloy, Betty Anne Kreutziger, and Nancy Trimino. They decked out Abravanel Hall with beads, masks and purple lighting, which turned them purple in this photo. Here they are judging a costume parade and contest. If you like music, whether to sit and listen or shaking something on the dance floor, you'd love the Doo Wop Club. 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 per person for annual dues. Make your check payable to OH Doo Wop Club. We will send you email about all future parties. Hope to see you on the dance floor!
