ValleyRD Mailing List: Winter in Texas

[Bob Heiser (w7ikt]

A Big Hello to all !!

Summer is definitely over and we are having a fantastic fall here in north Wisconsin.  We have had several frosts already and we are in the process of trying to winterize everything before we head south to Pharr, Texas.  We plan to leave shortly after Thanksgiving. Our first class and 2 dances will be on December 8th. 

It has been great fun to see many of you at dances we have attended around the country.  We are really excited to renew teaching and dancing with you this winter.  We have been working hard preparing dances to teach and workshops to help the figures make sense.

We have previously alluded to a class that we are very enthusiastic about.  It will be billed as an Improve your Dance class.   As we have prepared for this class it has started to shape up in a form we are calling The Anatomy of Dance. 

This class is designed for all phases.  We will not be teaching dances here.  We will be giving you information to improve the figures you know to make your dancing smoother, easier, more comfortable and better looking no matter what phase you dance.

The following is a list of some of the topics we will be exploring each week.....(not necessarily in this order)

The Eyes Have It

It's All In Your Head

Time To Shape Up

Where The Toes Goes

Just Hangin' Around

The Ups and Downs Of Dance

Off To The "Chase"

What Nice Arms You Have

Look At Those Hips

How 'Bout Those Knees

Getting To The Core Of It

Anything Semi

Where's The Umph

Obviously some of those seem kind of obscure at the moment but we hope it piques your interest enough to give it a try.  It will definitely be fun.

We have all looked at dancers and wonder how they are so smooth and make the harder figures look so easy and effortless.  We wish we could dance like they do.  This class will provide you with some building blocks to make your dancing what you have been wishing for....we can't wait to see you there.........
