Hello Dancers,

Happy Fall Ya’ll!!

Have you ever noticed there is something about this time of year? The smell of fresh cut grass and cooler weather remind me of football games, marching bands, and square dance lessons!
Speaking of lessons, several clubs started lessons recently. I have been hearing some good reports about the number of new students in these classes. Ya’ll keep up the good work!
Our Round-Up Kick-Off dance was a lot of fun and well attended. Now, we begin the Round-Up Theme dances put on by our clubs. This always creates excitement for the big event in December. All of the Round-Up Theme dances are two signatures so there are many opportunities to fill your Friendship Card and dance, dance, dance. Please look for the schedule of dances in this Promenade. The Round-Up Committee is still looking for volunteers to help make this year’s event the best that it can be. If you can help, contact the Round-Up Chairman, Jerry and Terri Johnson. Their contact information is: jandtjohnson76@gmail.com or 972-681-4130.

The demo dances in September had a great turn out and dancers had a lot of fun showing off our favorite hobby. These dances are great for showing the public that square dancing is still alive. We continue to plant seeds in the minds of people watching. They can see how fun square dancing is and maybe they will take lessons in a club near you soon.
The Rookie of the Year criteria has been sent out to club presidents. New dancers who have learned to dance from January to December 2024 are eligible to be nominated. All clubs need to nominate a new dancer, regardless of whether they have had lessons or not. The dancer does not have to be a member of their club. It is fun to watch the new dancers make the transition from student to dancer as they get out on the floor and dance with us. There were six students at a demo in September and they did a great job.
