FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | AUGUST 2016 41 Ballroom & Social Dance Our club is taking the month of August off. We'll start again on Monday evening, Sept. 12. At 6 pm is introduction to dance. At 6:30 pm is beginning dance. From 7 to 8 pm is more advanced dancing. So mark your calendar and have some fun with us then. We'll be doing west coast swing next, which evolved from Lindy Hop, which in turn evolved from the jitter bug. Lauré Haile, an Arthur Murray National Dance Director, called swing dancing in the Los Angeles area "western swing," which is smoother than its predecessors. Western swing, country boogie, and jump blues were popular on the West Coast throughout the 1940s, but in 1954 they were bundled together, rebranded and promoted as "rock 'n' roll." Here's a little wisdom to consider during this summer month: When you wake up in the morning, you need three things. 1. Something to do. 2. Someplace to do it. 3. Someone to do it with. Dancing can provide all three – dance, in our Ballroom, with a partner.

Even the beginning group is learning more and more difficult dances. Once you are shown dances one step at a time, they become easier to learn. And once you learn a few dances some of the steps show up in another new dance making it even easier to learn. Besides, line dancing is not precision dancing. Small variations are permissible as long as you are moving in the same direction as the rest of the dancers. We do a lot of laughing and even some teasing among the group, but most of all we get some exercise and just have fun. No experience or partner needed. Come watch or join in on the fun. Beginners dance from 3 to 3:45 pm, advanced from 3:35 to 4:30 every Tuesday afternoon in the Ballroom. Please bring water with you in these hot summer months and wear shoes that will slide on the hardwood surface if you can. If you don't have any, check out this website for dance "socks:" thedancesocks.com. Very reasonable and they work great! I want to thank Dena Cortez for teaching us all some new dances and for the big help she has been with the class lately. Dena herself is an excellent dancer and a great instructor. ~ Martha Franck Line Dancing Good friends, delicious food, great music and fun dancing. Who could ask for more?
