Subject: Tuesday High- Beg. to Inter.- Advanced Line Dance Class Pinellas
Park. LAST NIGHT
We had a good class last night. Thanks for everyone's help, especially Vince and everyone else who helped. I got a note from Dolly and she wasn't feeling well so she will teach Bring on the Good Times next week. Feel better soon, Dolly.
Lynda did a really good job teaching Pink Champagne by Rachael. We got to exercise our hips and learn this cute dance. It's 64 counts but not that difficult so give it a look. I has moved quickly up the survey. We will be doing a teach/review of it next week so if you missed it last night, join us then.
It was nice to have a visitor from Canada (Trish) and have Barbara's sister come to the class. She line dances, too!

Subject: Line Dance Celebration Workshop, Tampa, FL, Saturday March 25.
From: lizs...@tampbay.rr.com
We have closed pre-registrations for the “Line Dance Celebration” workshop at Northdale Recreation Center in Tampa to be held on Saturday, March 25. We have now reached the maximum of pre-registrations - 250.
We know that there will be some people that registered and later find out they cannot go. Since there is no money involved in pre-registering, we anticipate a fair amount of no-shows. The recreation center will accept walk-ins (registering the morning of the workshop) to back fill for the no-shows as long as there is space available. I think there will be plenty of space in the beginner/improver room, but not as much in the intermediate room.
Instructors will be Sheri Hurley, Lynda Licht, Marilyn McNeal and Gail Smith, DJs will be Vince Gregoire and Lynda Licht. I will be teaching the warm up dance ‘CELEBRATION’, which I choreographed to our theme music ‘Celebration’ by Kool & the Gang. Stepsheet is available in Copperknob http://www.copperknob.co.uk/stepsheets/celebration-ID116334.aspx.
Upon signing in that morning, you may purchase a lunch ticket for $6. Lunch will consist of John Erb’s “Meal Deal” (BBQ, baked beans, potato salad).
Doors will open at 9:00 for people that pre-registered. We are asking everyone that pre-registered to be there by 9:15. At this time, I do not know what time the recreation center will start accepting on-site registrations (for those that did not pre-register.) I will provide that information when I have it, but suspect it will be around 9:30.
Workshop will be 9:30am – 4:00pm. At 9:30 we will have the welcoming session and warm up dance. The first class will start at 10:00am. Northdale Recreation Center is located at 15550 Spring Drive in Tampa, Fl. Here is the rec. center’s website - http://www.hillsboroughcounty.org/en/locations/northdale-park-and-recreation-center
The recreation center is composed of 3 buildings and a park. When you turn into Pine Street you will see the small building on the right. There is some parking there, but most of the parking and the 2 gyms are around the back. The first gym you encounter is the small gym, where intermediate classes will be held. The larger gym is called Bill Castens Gymnasium and that is where we will have the opening session, lunch and the beginner and improver classes.
If you have any questions or need additional information, don’t hesitate to contact me, Liz Smith, at lizs...@tampabay.rr.com.
Hope to see you there!
