Thursday 1/29

 

NOTE FROM ME:  I get notes from time to time about how

to vote in the weekly survey.  The instructions are at the

bottom of every newsletter but all you need to do is list up

to 8 of your current favorites (with the choreographer and

level if you know it), don't number the votes but just list

them and email them to me at tka...@aol.com.  Thanks a

bunch.   If you keep a copy of your list, you can update it

from week-to-week and it will only take a second to do.

SUBJECT:  Uptown Funk
FROM:   Martha in Tennessee  (drm...@hotmail.com)
 
 
During Monday night's class, we danced to Jamie Marshall's Uptown EZ Funk to Bruno Mars' song, Uptown Funk.
There is a mixed age group in the class and the music (and the name of the music) brought on a lot of discussion and laughter.  The music had been requested by some in the class and they were thrilled to get to move to the beat .
 
The next morning on NBC's Today Show, a dance to Uptown Funk was featured.  I had to go to youtube and find it - and if you haven't seen this, take a minute to watch this group.  I wish I had this teacher's energy.

Re: DESERT DANCE - Mesa, Arizona - March 19 - 22, 2015
From: Janet Wallace
 
Don't miss the fun with Scott Blevins, Bracken Potter, Julia Wetzel, Amy Glass and Malene Jakobsen. We'll have a wild time in the old west!! These choreographers range from one of the top choreographers of the world to the hottest rising stars in our line dance community. They'll be teaching their own dances as well as "hot off the press" dances from around the world. And remember.... a smaller event means you'll be dancing all your requests. Your feet will go home tired but happy!!
 
Get your hotel reservations made with Country Inn & Suites (480-641-8000 Ext 505; 6650 E. Superstition Springs Blvd, Mesa, AZ, 85206, USA;
www.countryinns.com/mesa) with group rates extending from before to after the event, so you can bask in the beauty of the Arizona sunshine.
 
Our event will be held at Las Palmas Grand again with one of the most fabulous dance floors, and that alone is worth the trip!
 
Have you been watching the pre-Super Bowl activities?   The weather will be as good or better in March!   Consider a pre or post-trip to the Grand Canyon and Sedona.... Great memory making opportunity!
 
There is still availability, and we're looking forward to dancing with you in the desert!
 
Contact me if you need information or a flier....

See you on the dance floor.... hopefully in Arizona in March! —Janet
