Paul and I are going to go to this and we thought some of you might like to come along. Alicia is a very upbeat teacher. Sandi plays good music and has a flip chart that tells you what style of dance you can do to each song. She is lots of fun.

Beginning next week, February 27 we will split the Tuesday night class into two groups. The split will be based on the experience level of the students. Those who are going through Waltz, Foxtrot and Tango for the first time (Bronze I) will start their class at 6:30. Those who are going through for the second time (Bronze II) will start at 7:30. This will allow Paul and I to spend more quality time with each couple. You will get more out of the classes if you are in a smaller group. Please call Gail at (304) 412-3171 if you have any questions.

Top Hat is offering a new class beginning March 8 called Dance Grooves. In this class we will learn dances like samba, mambo, merengue and others in a fun setting. You won’t need a partner to come to this class! The focus will be on learning the dances, but the class have the added benefit of a good exercise workout.“The dancing-for-exercise trend is unfolding all across the country”, said Dr. Cedric Bryant, chief science officer at the American Council on Exercise. “People are looking for a more engaging alternative to their traditional workout.”

We will not have class this evening due to the road conditions. You are welcome to come tomorrow night if you would like to make up the class.

Paul and I had a wonderful time last Saturday at our February dance! We really enjoyed the chance to dance with all of you who came and we impressed with how far each couple has come. You deserve to be proud! Thank you for making the evening so special for us.
