Check out the GREAT NEW PIC of Walter and Judy (over 1 min load time at 56kb)
Thanks to everyone who came out last Sunday. We had a great time. It gets
easier every week using the computer to play the dance music. Before long it
will be second nature. Just like learning to dance...
Here is the line-up for this weekend:
~~ Friday Night - It's been awhile since Clive Stevens has hosted a dance and
this Friday is his. Clive's social dances are not just for practice any more.
The last one we attended was lots of fun with a very interesting lesson. This
Friday should be no different. (And yes, he does play Two-Steps, NC2 & WCS) The
dance starts at 8pm and costs $8.00 including lesson and refreshments. See you
there!
~~ Saturday Night - Judy, myself and all the Driver Ruritans will be finishing
up the Ham Supper fundraiser at Berea Church in Driver. We start serving at noon
on Saturday and finish when the food runs out or at 6pm.
The meal is $5.00 per plate. Proceeds are for our community service projects.
Our monthly meeting is 7pm on Monday if anyone is interested in helping the
community.

Berea Christian Church on Driver Lane

Social Dance with group lesson every Sunday at "DanceSport

gives you over 4 hours for $5.00. Refreshments are included.
**************
Judy and I are offering Private and Group lessons in most dances. Please contact
us if interested.
We would also like to get something started in the Churchland, Western Branch area of Tidewater. If you know of an organization, club or church that may be interested in working with us please contact us.
**********************************************
Looking Awkward ?
Do you sometimes feel a little awkward on the dance floor? Try walking instead!
Almost every dancer at any level can walk. When you are new to dancing your walking is more graceful than your dancing (Speaking from experience here) Once you become a better dancer we hope the opposite is true.
We find one way to help learn a pattern is to not dance it. Simply walk it through. To learn a new rhythm, dance it in place.
Dancing is a sum of many parts. Eliminate a few and it becomes easier. Once something gets better add something else back in.
Judy and I find that when we are learning a new pattern we break it down in
measures of music. If learning a Waltz pattern we dance three steps and stop. We
always start from the same position and check our stopping position repeatedly
before moving on. Once we have the footwork learned we work on making it look
better.
This is called practice and leads to better dancing. Don't run until you have
learned to walk!

OUR POLICY: Webmasters; You are granted permission to copy any content from our web site, provided that you provide a link to http://www.twosteptidewater.com (Contact us by email if you would like a reciprocal link). We are always looking for ways to make Two Step Tidewater Virginia THE PLACE for dance information in the Tidewater area (Norfolk VA, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake VA, Suffolk VA, Portsmouth VA, Newport News VA, Hampton va, Hampton Roads VA, Yorktown VA, Gloucester VA, Jamestown VA, and Williamsburg VA) - and for other dance events or dance locations which are of interest to Tidewater (Southside and Peninsula) area Hampton Roads 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 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.
