Hello Dancers,

Tis the Holiday Season! Halloween and Thanksgiving are over and Christmas is not far away. Speaking of Christmas, have you heard about ROUND-UP? It is on December 7th and Callers Cavalcade is the day before on December 6th. Toys on Parade is the theme so find your best outfits to wear during Round-Up that match the theme. I have seen some good ones at the Round-Up Theme dances already. Santa has made an appearance or two. Did you know he can square and round dance?

Lessons for many clubs are ending soon. I look forward to seeing these students who graduate out on the dance floor making the transition from student to dancer. Please encourage these dancers and dance in a square with them. It takes all of us to keep these dancers around and they are part of our square dance family. The Rookie Dancer of the Year award is available to these dancers graduating. Please keep a sharp eye out for those dancers who catch your attention and are making a strong effort to dance better.

I have heard of three clubs having lessons starting early next year. If you are having lessons, please send me a message or let me know at a dance. I want to create a flyer like we did for the fall lessons with everyone’s information on there. Given how quickly this gets done, I want to do the Facebook blitz like we did earlier. The more non dancers see we are here and dancing, the better the chance is of gaining more new dancers. This isn’t an overnight fix all for new dancers. It is a process that takes time and repetition.

Enjoy the holiday season! Spend quality time with family and friends. Go out and dance and live in the moment.

See you out in a square.

Thanks,

Let’s Grow NORTEX,
