Our Mexican Fiesta Dance with Taco Bar held on Friday, May 17, was a smashing success. We had dancers from all around the area come join us for fun dancing and feasting on our favorite tacos. The hall was very tastefully decorated by our president Melba Walker and her cohort Joy Pitts, both of whom are major decorators. (see photo of them below with some of the decorations in the background.
We had four squares on the floor for mainstream but only two for the plus tips. We ended the evening with a short tip after 10 to make up for the time it took for the sit down break. We had three very happy squares at the end of the evening. Jackie Gale did her always amazing job of cueing with many couples on the floor. I believe we had the nice turnout of Lebanon square Circlers due to her fine cueing. We missed seeing all the people from Roseburg but at least one dancer came with a partner from south of us. So many happy faces including many from our sister club, the Whirl-A-Ways. If you missed this dance, you probably missed the best dance of the season. Phil Ramey calls to the floor, chooses wonderful music (lots of old timey cowboy tunes with a good beat) and has a nice singing voice. He notices what moves dancers are having trouble with and does a little work shop on that move but doesn’t overdo it. We have quite a few new dancers out a tour dances these days and some who don’t dance all that much so a good work shop doesn’t hurt anyone. I think people appreciated his efforts to help. He’ll be back calling for us so please keep an eye on our schedule.
Next week we will have Janet Geiger calling and Sandy Harris cueing with breakfast being served up special by Joy Pitts. Come one, come all!
