FUNDance Announces West Coast WEDNESDAYS
NEW CLASSES START JANUARY 11TH!!!
We hope you make it one of your New Year’s Resolutions to join us every Wednesday for the best in West Coast Swing. Our classes for January begin on the 11th (after we return home from teaching at the Sweden Westie Gala). Fearless Leader has promised this is his FINAL WORLD TOUR in 2017. As always we will offer all three levels, so you can be sure to find the class that is right for you! We are happy to announce that the beautiful SHERRY “DJ” DEEJEEZUZ will be our guest D.J again this month. We had a lot of compliments on her music the last time and it was so nice to hear fresh sound. If anyone is interested in being our guest DJ for the night, please tell Empress FUNDance or Fearless Leader. Hopefully this will give everyone a chance to hear some different songs as well as help to grow our practice time. Tell your friends!!! We want to remind you that the music on Wednesday nights will now begin at 6:30 pm and end at 9:30 pm. Instead of starting class with only a few songs to warm up to, we will now have the music on a half hour before class begins. This change in schedule has been a big success with many more of you arriving early and getting in some quality practice time before class begins. Don’t forget that on the final Wednesday class of each month we will be turning the music off early and heading over to the local country bar. Classes will still be held at the usual time but the music will stop around 9:15pm and the party will move over to Wild West. Wild West is a favorite among many dancers and a great place to dance on Wednesday evenings. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

FUNDance Announces COUNTRY MONDAY WORKSHOPS
BEG/INT C&W WALTZ, JANUARY 23rd!!!
We had such a fantastic response to our workshops in November, that we have decided to carry them through into 2017!!! Based upon your attendance and feedback we have decided to make some changes to our schedule on Monday nights. Level 2 Two-Step will not resume in January (have no fear….if enough of you request it we can make it a workshop in the future). Instead, we will be offering one workshop every month based upon popular vote. Many of you have expressed interest in learning other dances, so that you can be comfortable with a variety of different music and social settings. Some of our most popular requests include C&W Waltz, Night Club, Polka and Cha Cha. You can expect to see these dances being offered in 2017. Monday nights began with our Cotillion series where we covered a different dance each month, and we’re headed back in that direction! If you have a group and would like to continue weekly country two-step lessons, by all means let us know and we can set up a semi-private lesson or class.
This January we will be offering a Beg/Int C&W Waltz. Based upon your votes this was the number one choice. Our November workshop was a huge success with many new faces coming out to learn this beautiful dance. We will start by reviewing our basics (for the Beginners) and technique (for the Intermediates) and end the class with a fun social pattern that works with everyone. Each class will be 90 minutes in length, to give us plenty of time to get through thematerial comfortably. If you ever had friends wishing to join you on Monday nights…now is their chance!!! Please help us spread the word so that we can get a great group together to learn these fun and practical dances. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
