Four Dances in Three Days - July 13, 14, 15, 2007
Clear your schedules, polish up your dance shoes, go to the gym a couple of extra times to get ready to enjoy our regular dances on Sunday nights AND get the extra prizes at the bottom of the cereal box smack in the middle of July.
Gaye Fifer & Wayne Albright will be in town to call some contras, teach an Intermediate Waltz lesson, and teach an Intermediate Contra Workshop. Join us for as much of the weekend as you can.
If you've never met Gaye & Wayne, they teach Waltz Lessons at about twenty dance weekends a year. They are very much in demand for their clear teaching style, their love for dance, and their ability to break down complex moves into manageable bits. Click here http://www.wa64.com/Waltz.html for their website and you can watch video clips of some of their lessons and/or print out descriptions of some of the moves they teach. You can use the site to learn new waltz moves or brush up on some you may already know.
