FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | JUNE 2018 41 Let's Dance Surprise! We are having an additional Free Sock Hop on Sunday, June 10 in the Ballroom from 5 to 8:30 pm. Since the Bistro is closed that evening, we are having a potluck. We will provide, plates, utensils, napkins, cups, ice and water. Please bring a dish that feeds six to eight people. This is a BYOB event. Please join us for a fun evening of music and dance. We will have a variety of music so everyone will have a chance to dance. Think of why many of us moved here: the activities and camaraderie. So please, don't sit in your house all alone. We are all getting older every day. It is very important that we continue to expand our minds and exercise our bodies to age gracefully as best each of us can. Whatever your level of movement is, it can be strengthened by activity. Learning new things keeps our minds younger and gives a sense of accomplishment. The best part of living here is that there are so many activities, from board games and movies to court sports and of course dancing. July is our next Very Beginners class. Each class has four to eight students which makes it easier to learn dance steps since you can see the footwork clearly. Also there are several "angels" who can give special attention if you are having difficulty learning a step. You must attend each class to go on to the next, as the steps are progressive with the different dances. Remember, no one was born dancing, it has to be learned one step at a time. Join me at 2:15 pm each Tuesday in July to start dancing. Please wear shoes (or socks) that will slide on the wood floor and bring water as dancing makes you thirsty. What makes line dancing fairly easy is you are only dealing with your own movements. No one is tugging at you or pushing you around. And steps can have slight variations that allow each person to perfect their own steps to suit themselves as long as overall you are moving in the same direction as everyone else. Not sure this would be for you? Come to one of our practices or the sock hop and check us out. We always have fun and lots of laughs. Please check the calendar section for class times.

REMINDER – Our Summer Fun Dinner and Dance Party is Saturday, Aug. 4 in the Ballroom. All types of dance music will be provided by American Made. Watch for the poster in the Lodge with all the details near the end of June. Dancing Makes You Smarter….Why is dancing better than other activities for improving mental capabilities? Because dancing utilizes both the mind and the body! Dancing requires split-second rapid-fire decision-making, as opposed to rote memory. So come join us in the Ballroom on Monday nights – the dance for June is the Rumba. A beautiful romantic dance, it is passionate, slow and sensuous and sure to be a favorite. Rumba is easy to learn and danced to rhythmic slow music that will capture your heart with its slow swaying movements. It can be danced with intricacy or simplicity, whatever suits your style. You will meet some great new friends and exercise your mind and body. The cost is $10 per person with our professional instructors. Newcomers and beginners meet 6 to 7 pm. Intermediate and advanced meet from 7 to 8 pm. For more information, contact Puring or Gary Stifter at (951) 922-8333, or purings@verizon.net. ~ Sue Condurachi
