BEGINNER CLASSES
 

Earlene Woodruff conducting
graduation exercises at Asbury United Methodist Church on July 8th.
Jean McDonald receiving the
Spring 2008 "Order of The Bull"

 

Beginner classes are conducted twice yearly.

 

New classes to start the second week of September.
Asbury United Methodist Church, Tuesday September 9th at 6:00 pm
Pickering Center, Thursday September 11th at 3:30 pm
Classes will continue for eight (8) weeks.

 

These classes will continue for nine weeks including graduation.  Please plan to attend each session if possible as the progression is designed to build a framework for line dancing.  We will have classes at each location running on the same progression so the student can attend either or both.

 

The cost is $2.00 per lesson (paid as you go)

We are once again planning to host a workshop at The Pickering Center featuring the Mid South Area Instructors. The workshop was so successful last year we were sold out early. Please mark your calendars for September 27th for a full day workshop and a dance the following evening. Attendance will once again be limited by the space so click here to register!

The area Instructors have been working together to host a workshop on March 7, 2009 for "jg2" (James Gregory and Jean.) They are fabulous instructors and will offer levels for everyone. We will have a great day with a dance in the evening -- Make your plans for this workshop -- FULL DETAILS WILL FOLLOW SOON.

Just to demonstrate that your faithful staff spends its time trying to locate new materials for you and new music for the dances. Following are pictures of them hard at work running every lead with armed protection.

    

 
The following are some examples of our dancers being role models for people their age as well as the younger generations by performing at churches, schools, nursing homes, etc.

Performance at Farmington Presbyterian Church

Following photos were made by Ed Wankowski, who was one of the dancers and is not in the pictures. These pictures were made at Asbury United Methodist Church's neighborhood Carnival church outreach. Good band and good dancers - we got a lot of the onlookers up dancing.
