Check out the GREAT NEW PIC of Walter and Judy (over 1 min load time at 56kb)
Thanks again to all the dancers who came out last Sunday night. Judy and I
really appreciate all the support we get from the dance community. This last
Wednesday was the last date in our WCS Intermediate Series. Teaching this
difficult dance on the intermediate level was a challenge at first but turned
out very well. We couldn't have asked for better students. We do wish a couple
more ladies had came in for the last class as we had three extra men.
This Sunday Judy and I will be teaching the Traveling Cha-Cha (Cowboy
Cha-Cha) for the lesson before the dance. Walter can teach the basic version but
will have to rely on the more experienced CW dancers to help out with all the
extra stuff. On the last Sunday we will teach a little basic Cha-Cha and then
teach a pattern we learned when we were competing.
It should be a great finish to the February Sunday dance schedule.
This Saturday we will be hosting the Social dance again for "A Time to Dance"
8:30 - 11pm $8.00, Margo provides refreshments. Rebekah Ives will be teaching a
Swing lesson prior to the dance from 8-8:30pm
In March we will be teaching East Coast Swing before the Sunday dances.
***************
Below is our other than Sunday schedule for March:
***************
Judy and Walter will be hosting a Social Dance at "DanceSport" on the second
Friday of March.
More details in the next newsletter.
***************************************************************
In March....
Each Tuesday - "A Time To Dance"
-
~~7-8pm - Beginner Two-Step 5 weeks $10.00 per class or $44.00 for the series paid on the first night
~~8-9PM
- Intermediate Hustle Group Class.
This Hustle class is designed for dancers with at least a basic knowledge of
"Three Count Hustle". This is a five week class with the cost at $10.00 per
class or $44.00 paid in advance.
++++++++++++++++++
Each Wednesday - "DancesportVA"
- Intermediate Two Step Group Class - 8pm - 9pm
This Two Step Class will be a continuation of the class taught in January with
different patterns than taught during the January class. We will have no review
of basics. This is a five week class with the cost of $10.00 per class or $44.00
paid in advance. If you didn't attend the January classes, you can still
come to the March classes - they will not be dependent upon each other.
++++++++++++++++++
All of the patterns we will be teaching will be learned best if the student has
a partner with which to dance and practice. If you want to attend and need a
partner please contact us and we will try to help out. If you want to attend as
a single we will ask but not require the other students to rotate partners.
During all of our classes we will be teaching one move or pattern per half hour
session. Some patterns are stand alone and others build on a previous pattern.
We make every attempt to teach patterns that are "leadable" and social in
nature.

Below is a sample of a weekly dance tip. More are posted at this link
Dance Tips Menu**********************************************
Dance tip of the week:
Fluids, Vitamin C and rest. That's what will help me with the bug which I have.
I plan to get rid of it before Saturday night. Stay healthy and come visit us
when you feel like dancing. That's the best tip I can come up with tonight.
In the meantime, enjoy last week's tip......
Perseverance

Everyone knows
him by his biggest hits, Mack the Knife and Beyond the Sea.
We think some of his other music is worth a second look. One of our many
favorites is "Always". A Foxtrot for those who dance, this song is a real
swinging hit like most of Bobby Darin's music. If you want just one Bobby Darin
Album to buy make it the Capital Label "A Spotlight on" (Great Gentlemen of
song) I am constantly amazed that with all the great music this man recorded the
only thing you hear is "Mack the Knife and Beyond the Sea" both of which are
great songs but not what some of the other are.
Check out this Album on the Amazon site and see for yourself.

OUR POLICY: We are always looking for ways to make Two Step Tidewater Virginia THE PLACE for dance information in the Tidewater area (Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Suffolk, Portsmouth, Newport News, Hampton Roads, Yorktown, Gloucester, and Williamsburg) - and for other dance events or dance locations which are of interest to Tidewater area dancers. We prefer to exchange links with other dance-information sites. To add a dance link, or exchange links with your web pages, email Will Harper or Walter Schultz. Worthy dance events, may post to our web site by emailing a cut-and-paste ready announcement. Your announcement can be just a text announcement or even a full web page. We will host an ongoing web page, at no cost, for Tidewater Area dance-related activities, without their own web page. Be sure to include date, time, cost, contact and location information for your event. In exchange, we ask that anyone posting to our site, include a reference to http://www.twosteptidewater.com on your site and/or in your intra-group's mailing list emails. (Not just C&W. We'll include Ballroom, Swing, WCS, Disco, Folk, or just churches or other clubs with dances.) We will attempt to post/remove events within a couple of days - but we cannot accept responsibility for missing an event or any other reason. We will attempt to verify ALL links, to prevent any offensive or off-topic links, but, again, cannot be responsible for other's.
