SQUARE DANCE CLUB

 

Paws and Taws members and friends –

 

With the weather forecast for Friday calling for dangerous travel conditions, both Paws and Taws and Jug Tavern Squares have cancelled their dances scheduled for January 10.  There may well be other cancellations Friday and Saturday; alerts will be forwarded of any we learn of.

 

Seems like forever since the last Paws and Taws dance, with only one scheduled in the last seven weeks and now this Friday’s dance cancelled.  But we are going to make up for that with five dances in the coming seven weeks!  In addition to Mainstream lessons every Wednesday.

 

So, it is time to get back on the floor with Paws and Taws first dance of 2025, next Friday, January 17, with Sam Rowan calling a Celebrating ABBA/Disco Dance.  A third Friday, so the alternate program of a Mainstream workshop at 7:00pm, Mainstream dancing from 7:30 to 8:30pm, and Plus dancing 8:30 to 9:30pm.  No rounds or lines.

 

Upcoming Paws and Taws dances:

• Friday, January 17 – Celebrating ABBA/Disco Dance with Sam Rowan calling.  No rounds or lines.
• Friday, January 24 – 4^th Friday dance with Tony Simmons calling and Kristine Nelson cueing.
• Friday, February 14 – Valentine Dance with Tony Simmons calling and Kristine Nelson cueing.
• Friday, February 21 – 3^rd Friday dance with Joe Arnold calling.  No lines or rounds.
• Friday, February 28 – Mis-Match Dance with Joe Arnold calling and Kristine Nelson cueing.  Mix and match your outfit – different shoes, plaids and stripes, anything and everything goes!

 

Dances are at Senior Solutions.  For dances on 2^nd and 4^th Fridays, there will be early rounds at 7:00pm and the dance, mainstream with announced Plus with rounds and lines between tips from 7:30 to 9:30pm unless otherwise noted.  Flyers are in the event details on the Upstate South Carolina Google calendar.

 

For 3^rd Friday dances, there will be a Mainstream workshop 7:00 to 7:25pm with no break, Mainstream tips from 7:30 to 8:30, and Plus tips 8:30 to 9:30.  The format of these dances will be a focus on providing floor time for both new Mainstream and Plus dancers.

(note to those coming from South Carolina using US 76 from Westminster to Clayton, GA – the bridge over Ramsey Creek is closed.  There is an unmarked local detour on Cobb Bridge Road, easy to follow once you are on it since the entire route was repaved to accommodate the increased traffic.  The posted detour is much longer, taking you all the way to the Geogia line before turning north.)
