SUBJECT:  UPDATE ON ARLINE WINERMAN
FROM:  DALLAS P.
 
Sunday 8/28/16:  Arline is still working her way back to the dance floor.  Nurses and therapists are still working with her every day.  She fell at home Friday night and badly bruised her back and tailbone, also managed to make a pretty good gash in her arm too.  The pt who came Saturday called the oncall nurse who came over and checked her out and bandaged her arm.  Nothing broken thank heavens but she is a bit sore.   Yes she was using her walker but bumped the table and lost her balance.  Monday Arline wil see her primary for some blood work.  I told her she had to be ready for ProAm in Tampa by November.//Hugs

SUBJECT:  FOOTHILLS OF VIRGINIA INTERMEDIATE WORKSHOP
FROM:  Sue Ann Ehmann    SueAn...@gmail.com
 

The 2016 Foothills of Virginia Intermediate Line Dance Workshop was
 
another fun success here in Stella, VA.  We had a lovely turnout of dancers from Virginia and North Carolina and we danced our feet off.  A huge thank you to my co-host, Marianna Timmons who is invaluable when it comes to the planning that goes into these workshops.  This year our guest instructor was LISA UTZ and I can say without reservation that she is a fabulous instructor!  Event Directors take note if you are looking for some new talent to teach at your events – ask Lisa Utz!  Thanks for being on our team, Lisa!  Mary Kaye Johnson was our DJ and it goes without saying that she did an amazing job.
 
These are the dances that were taught throughout the day:
 
PIECES by Dustin Betts – everyone loved this one (of course!)
 
DEEPLY DONE by Gene Alan Dooley.  (This is a lovely, dance to the song “Truly, Madly, Deeply” by Savage Garden.)  Check it out!
 
CORAZON DIAMANTE by Roy Verdonk, Maggie Gallagher, & Gary O' Reilly
 
HANDCLAP by Bracken Ellis and Brandon Zahorsky.  Fun, fun fun!
 
DIE A HAPPY MAN by Rachael McEnaney-White and Joey Warren.  Highly requested.
 
SHAKE THAT by Maddison Glover. 
 
ABOUT FEELINGS by Ria Vos
 
AGUA Y FUEGO by Roy Verdonk, Raymond Sarlemijn, and Daniel Trepat was also taught as a fun, easy dance to warm up with.
 
We ordered lunch in from a local establishment, and many went out to dinner together before coming back to dance more in the evening.  Evening dances included reviews of most of the dances taught during the day, plus other requests. All in all, a fun, fun day, with great friends and dancers. Thank you to everyone who came out!  Hope you’ll join us next August for our next Foothills of Virginia Intermediate Workshop here in Stella, VA.

What a wonderful day we had at the first (and we hope ‘annual’) line dance event in Aurora Ontario, graciously hosted by Carolyn Beer.
Amy Glass taught ‘Fresh Eyes’, ‘The Way I Am’ and ‘I Can’t Do This’.  Rhoda Lai taught ‘Neverland’, ‘California Dream’ and ‘Till Ya Legs Hurt’. Marthe Thibeault taught ‘Handclap’. Rose Small taught ‘KTS’ and ‘I Love Me’.
Everything ran like clockwork, thanks to Carolyn and her team of volunteers. DJ Eddie Lai kept us soooo .... busy playing more than 75 songs during open dancing! The dinner, catered by the Aurora Legion was scrumptious! Thanks again Carolyn and Cam, for such an enjoyable day.
