Subject: High-Beg, to Inter.-Adv. LINE DANCE SOCIAL YESTERDAY Jan. 21st 2018 in Pinellas Park, FL
Wow, what a great day yesterday sharing the dance floor and fun with friends from all over the place in Pinellas Park. Thank you sooooooooooooo much for coming and joining Diane and me with our great DJ, Cheryl Hurlburt, for our day with so many friends, old and new. I saw lots of new faces there yesterday and missed a few who couldn't come for one reason or another. Next time! It was so good to have Diane back after her dad's funeral and then getting the flu right after. She was smart enough to go to the doctor right away so she could be there yesterday. She really appreciated the cards that everyone signed for her. It's been a rough time for her this year. Thanks to everyone who brought so much yummy food, helped us, especially Rick who moved a gazillion tables so everyone would have a place to sit comfortably and is always there early with Cheryl to help us. We really appreciate him and Marie and others who are always there to help clean up and reorganize at the end of the day. I hope you all had a great time.
A big thank you to Jennifer Cameron who surprised everyone with a pass taped under a lucky person's chair for a choice to any one of her events. Congratulations, Susan Vail. See you in Boston! Thanks so much, Jen!
A special special thanks to the people who came and volunteered to teach some awesome dances. Every one of them had fun teaches of some challenging dances and we ALL appreciate it. We are so fortunate in Florida to not only have some amazing instructors but it makes me proud to see how everyone encourages their classes to support each other's events and socials. There were FOUR dance events in Florida this weekend and all of them were well-attended. I find that amazing. Many people attended at least three of the four from one end of the state to the other. The biggest challenge is to just find a free date to have a social. That is not a bad problem to have, if you ask me.
THERE WERE THE DANCES TAUGHT:
MY HEART IS IN HAVANA, by Bradley Mather, taught by Sandy Albano (Bradley's grandmother, in case you didn't know). Sandy did a really good job teaching this dance and I was so happy to learn it. I think it is a special dance and is already moving up on the survey and into the Top 10 this week. Congratulations, Bradley. It also was the overall winner at the Florida Line Dance Classic in the USLDCC Competition in Orlando in November.

ALL KATCHI, ALL NIGHT LONG, by Kerry Maus (this dance has won two competitions recently). This is a really fun dance that any class could do and it is peppy and just fun and Larry was especially fun teaching it. Welcome back, Larry, after your knee surgery. It is always a pleasure to see you and Cheryl at our socials and we missed you at the last one. If you look up the sheet for this dance, be sure and put the comma after "Katchi," to find it on Copperknob.co.uk or it will say it can't be found.

BOOTS, by Maddison Glover was taught by Marilyn McNeal. This dance was taught in Vegas and is a fun dance that is quite easy to learn. Maddison did a good job of choreographing to some of the words in the music and it was nice that Marilyn mentioned that before she taught it. Give it a look.

VOWS, by Cody Flowers. This is a brand new hot-off-the-press dance by Cody to meaningful music you should listen to. It flows really well and I know many of the instructors are taking it home to teach their classes. Good job, Cody, and thanks for coming up from Ft. Lauderdale to teach it and be my roomie with Jen this weekend. It was fun! The sheet should be up on Copperknob today or tomorrow but here is a demo of the dance from yesterday.
We will let you know when the next social is planned (and we can find a free date). Thanks again to everyone who came and shared the day with us. Coming soon is Lindy's Dance Day in Orlando the first part of February; the Celebration coming up in a couple of weeks in the Tampa area; Rachael's workshop in March in Orlando, and a lot of people will be going to the Experience in New Orleans and Big Bang in North Carolina with a many events and socials filling in. Sometimes I just sit and remember the time when there were so few events to attend and marvel at what we can do now around the world. Hope to see you at our Tuesday classes sometime soon and at the next social. We couldn't so them without YOU!

SUBJECT: Dancing' with Marilyn, Ocala, FL
FROM: Marilyn McNeal, BoarsNestFarm
An exceptional time was had by all at Diane and Carol's Sunday Social in Pinellas Park today!
Special guests Jen Cameron, along with Sandy Albano and Cody Flowers, healthy and tempting array of snacks, followed by pizza for all - what a day!
Sandy taught grandson Bradley's dance My Heart is in Havana (love this dance!), Larry Bass taught All Katchi All Night Long by Kerry Maus. Cody taught us his cool, brand new dance VOWS, to an also cool and interesting piece of music called Don't Let Go. I think it will be a hit for him and I will teach it here in Ocala soon. My dance was Maddy Glover's dance, Boots, fun and easy for all. We are already dancing this one and Bradley's in my Wednesday night class. Lots of open dance and requests always taken. Thanks Cheryl for playing the tunes for us!
It was a great day with a huge crowd and we enjoyed it all. This social is always worth the trip from wherever you are because we all know each other, look forward to seeing each other, and appreciate Carol and Diane for providing a relaxing, pleasant day with food, fellowship and usually 4 teaches. Thanks to you both!
Regular classes this week at On Top of the World, Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday at MHC day classes yes, but the Wednesday night Int/Adv. class is cancelled this week due to a conference Ray and I are attending.
See ya'll soon!

(www.lindysdancelines.jimdo.com)
Playlist for Feb. 3rd and flyer attached!! I have tweaked the list to make a better flow plus added some new (and older) dance requests too.
Calling ALL dancers of all levels......Saturday, Feb. 3rd is our next LET'S DANCE DAY!! Come dance with us and bring your BFFs. We have four hours of dancing (from 12 noon to 4 p.m.) Rotation of beginner then intermediate/adv. and plenty of floor splits, all day. There are some new fun dances on the playlist, plus lots of our old fav's. Let me know if you have requests, BEFORE I publish the playlist or it will have to be for the next LDD. :-) I try to send out the playlist 2 weeks in advance so that you can practice what you want to be able to dance at LDD! Be sure to bring your own water/soft drinks, lunch, and/or snacks. If you want a copy of the playlist to follow on Let's Dance Day, please print one and bring it along, tho I will make a few copies. It is on my website too!!! www.lindysdancelines.jimdo.com
(There are flyers on there too if you need some for your classes).
LDD will be at the Beardall Sr. Center at 800 Delaney Ave., Orlando 32801. This is a big brick 3 story building at the corners of Delaney Ave, Gore St. and right off Orange Ave. There is parking all the way around the building, (and at the bank next door as well), but use the handicapped door on the Gore St. parking lot side to enter the building as the other doors are locked on weekends. We dance in the ballroom on the 2nd floor and there is an elevator!!
Since we are finished at 4, you will have time to go to dinner and then go to your other favorite dance place and dance all night too! Come if you can and we will have a fun, no stress dance day.

Subject: suggested dance
From: c.bauer...@aon.at
Gorgeous dance by Fred Whitehouse & Niels Poulsen: I Am Your Man! The choreography is sophisticated and hits the music so perfectly, I can’t get enough of dancing it. Dance already taught in the autumn advanced class. Because the dance is so awesome, we decided to teach it again in one of the current inermediate classes!
Thank you Fred and Niels.
