***********************************
Hello Dancers,
Thanks to everyone who visited our dance last Sunday. We had a large group
and everyone had a great time. This week the WCS class seemed a little
easier to teach. Having Jerry help out was very much welcomed by us.
When we started this series we thought it would be much harder to get the
new dancers into this difficult dance but everyone came through again. We
have some very talented people in our classes that make our job of teaching
very easy.
Just a reminder that the Country Two-Step starts next month. We have been
asked to repeat Hustle later this summer maybe in July. That would leave
June still open.
**************************************************
}}}} In need of --- If you are interested in teaching group line dance
classes please contact us. We have a group in need and will pass along your
contact information.
}}}} In need of --- A group of WCS dancers who would like to learn and

}}}} In need of --- Students for our May - June Chesapeake Parks &
Recreation Dance Classes. Contact us.

}}}} The tip(s) of the week: Elements of couple dancing
- Dance Lead - Indicating the direction that the man would like the lady to
move. (tip - offer clear concise leads)
- Dance Follow - Once a lead is received, moving in that direction until
another lead is received or the pattern has ended. (tip - react quickly and
move on your own)
- Character of the dance style - Lead and follow accomplished according to
the timing, style, body motion and attitude dictated by the established
norm. (tip - make the smooth dances smooth and the Latin dances Latin)
- Physical ability - Being able to utilize enough balance, self control,
movement and turn technique to dance without taxing either you or your
partner. (tip - don't stumble through the moves making your partner
compensate)
- Social skill - Being honest enough to evaluate yourself as a person and
make any needed changes. (tip - would you want to dance close with you?)
The above items will make us better dancers. Why do many dancers only want
more patterns?

Web site of the week:

To toot our own horn click on the above link. Our web master and fellow
dancer, Will Harper, put up this page to help out all the dancers who wish
to network their hobby, business, or have items for sale or trade or wish
to obtain services or products.
We feels that this is a great idea that will help out the local dancers who
cannot otherwise advertise. We all have been around other dancers for years
without knowing that we could be helping each other out.
