36 | SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | OCTOBER 2016 | Dinner Dance Club We are now into another year of good music and dancing. The club gives dance instructions for both line dancing and couples dances. The dances on Friday evenings are our chance to get together with other nice people, practice all the dances we've learned and have a little fun. If you missed our September introductory lessons and dance you can still come and see what we do. We promise not to embarrass anyone. We have two Country Western Dances this month. The first is on Fri., Oct. 7, and the second is Fri., Oct. 21. Our Friday night dances are in the Main Clubhouse Ballroom from 7 to 9 pm. Line dance instructions will be held at the South Clubhouse on Mon., Oct. 3, 10, 17, 24 and 31 from 7 to 8:30 pm. We are still teaching beginner line dances so you can still come and give it a try. Couples instructions will be held at the South Clubhouse on Tues., Oct. 11, and 25 from 7 to 8 pm. Have questions? Want information? Call Joe or Jean, 769-9148. Country Western Dance Fall will bring a welcome respite from the heat of summer and get us in the mood for some indoor fun! October's dance will be held on Sat., Oct. 22. Doors open at 5:30 pm for the "meet and mingle" and October starts off our "dressy" attire dress code for the fall season. Pull out that special outfit from the back of the closet that's just been waiting for some cooler weather.

Sign-ups will be received between Oct. 1 and 13 by leaving your checks and sign-up form in the mailbox located on the front gate at 782 Torrey Pines Rd.

Stardust Dancers International Dancers IDS members continue to receive positive feedback regarding our 2016 Festival of Dances and International Fashion Show, and we are so grateful. We performed for warmly-enthusiastic, sold out audiences in August. For those who have expressed interest in purchasing a DVD of the show, they are available at a cost of $15. You may call our videographer Pat Cassidy at 849-7033, or email him at starbuck4u2@yahoo.com.
