NOTE FROM ME: Thank you, Dave, for sending this and agreeing to send it weekly. I always look at the list to see what is actually being taught. Dave is very active in Linedancer activities, lives in England, and has his own Linedancer radio show. I hope you will participate if you are on Facebook. There are usually more dances being done in Europe than we might have on our surveys but it is a good way to show what dances we are doing and see what dances are being done in Europe and which dances we have in common and maybe introduce some new ones to each other.

My Zoom is up and going for people who would like to learn and dance what I'm doing in Sarasota. Here are the details:
It's from 7-9:30 (or longer if it goes later)
It's $10 and payment made via Venmo, Zelle, Cash App, or PayPal if it's your only way to pay, but not preferred. That info will be given via the e-mail below.
Please send in your request for the link to: linedanc...@gmail.com by 2PM on that Wednesday before class to give us time to get you the link by 6PM.
My class structure is still the same with my quick walk throughs of dances taught at 6 from the beginner class. Normal teaches at 7:20ish and around 8:15. Always the possibility to do a walk through on something recently taught afterward, but dancing, dancing, dancing.
