We held our first ever Scottish Ceilidh on Saturday, April 14!
Many thanks to all who decorated the hall, prepared punch along with tasty treats and who (at last!) danced the evening away. Many thanks to Marsden--who called the excellent selection of dances. We've got to do this again!!!

We are continuing with Spring 2012 English Country Dancing at the Winchester Community Center, extending into June. The cost is only $5 and no advanced registration is required.

Final Thoughts on 2011

Last year, we were fortunate to have a good number of Las Vegas visitors join us and dance the night away! It didn't make any difference that they were no longer in California, Arizona, Oregon, Michigan, Utah, or just a mile away from Charleston Heights.... What mattered to them was that we had gifted musicians with foot-stomping music and both visiting and home-grown Contra Callers that could dish out steps that could leave us laughing, or hooting, or more often, both. Now THAT'S something to cherish.

We've had members parting for new lives in far away communities, but we also are blessed with new members (and old) that share the same pleasure of:

a fiddle scraping a bow;

a wink of an eye at a partner during a gypsy turn;

a new fangled macho chest-bump during a gentleman's diagonal place change;

a curtsey, a bow, a smile, or a hug in appreciation of a partner's dance; or

an end of an evening of dance that left us exhausted, but exhilarated.

Thanks for joining us this last year. AND welcome back for 2012!
