Happy trails to Bill Ossa! Bill will be with the Peace Corps for three years in China. We’ll miss your silly and fun antics Bill!

DANCING WITH OUR SENIOR SENIORS They are such an inspiration to me and I am sure to most dancers. We’d want to be able to have the desire AND the get up ‘n go to attend a dance AND dance! KUDOS TO ALL OF YOU! Let us all “Keep it Grounded” for them by acknowledging our strengths and exuberance by transferring these gifts into gentleness and fun with them !!!

DANCING PROTOCOL:

THE WAVE: Unless told differently by the caller, while holding hands, four across, stomp and look at the dancer to your RIGHT, then stomp and look at dancer on the LEFT. If wave is quickly repeated, (unless told differently by caller) stomp and look to the dancer on the LEFT, then RIGHT.

EXCITING NEWS!!! Simon Kiefer has joined the SBCDS board. For the past year he has been scheduling the talent for our weekly dances and is responsible for all the wonderful bands and callers we’ve been so delighted in having on our stage.

WHERE ARE THEY Now? Local dancer Nancy Breslin and her partner Tom Smith will be residing temporarily in Berkeley as they await the arrival of Nancy's first grandchild and setting herself up to be the loving, caring, cooing grandparent she's so excited to be! We will miss both your faces, so delight in your forthcoming wonderful event and hope to see you both 'on the dance floor' in SB whenever you get the chance.
