It's TIME to DANCE

Maryland and DC dance info

linda.jpg

Hi Fellow Country Dancers!

I've been dancing in the DC/Baltimore/So. MD area since late 1992. Until they changed format in 2002, I danced most of the time at Spurs in Waldorf. I taught 2 Step & West Coast Swing there the last couple of years. I also danced at Cherry Hill on Wednesdays, Blackie's, and a few other places occasionally. Now, I'm at Nick's more often than anywhere else and am teaching couples dances there with Lloyd Thompson. You can still find me at Cherry Hill most Wednesdays, as well as occasionally at other locations.

My newsletter began as a way for the former patrons of Spurs to stay together & know where to find each other. Over the last few years, the recipient list has grown to hundreds of people and continues to grow. My focus is country dancing, but I also put in some swing & hustle events, especially those that might also play a few 2 Steps. I owe some of those organizers for the lessons I learned from them as I came along as a dancer as well as the much of the information I use in the newsletter.

If you'd like me to add your name to my list, please send your name & email address to lbloyer@yahoo.com. Please include something about dance news in the subject line. Also, if you know of an event I should include, please let me know.

I hope you find this new way of presenting the information interesting & helpful.

Linda

Hi to All,

I hope all of you are managing to keep warm!

Things occur sometimes to cancel events.  I do my best to keep you updated about closings and changes.  If you hear of an event being closed, please email me.  I will do what I can to get the information out to everyone.  If there is any question in your mind about an event, please contact the organizer or the club directly.

I also like to hear about new events, so please send those to me too.

Thanks to those who have sent updates to me on schedule changes, etc.   I most appreciate receiving your information by Sunday evening or early Monday, whenever possible. That way they can be included in the newsletter when I write it, rather than coming out as an update.

Welcome to the new readers.  The distribution list continues to grow.  Thank you for all the information you send to me.  Thank you also to the others from whose newsletters I freely borrow information about many of the events listed here.

For those of you interested in dance cruises or other dance vacations, some are listed near the end of this newsletter.

Does anyone have anything to report

VA bars & restaurants are supposed to be non-smoking now.  There are some exceptions and some 'variations in interpretation' of the new law.  Just warning you.......

1. Fredericksburg area residents (and others too) check out fburgcountrydance.com for info on some weekly and special events  This is a new web page from a group that recently organized.  You might also check http://www.wfls.com/HotCountryNightsPage for info on an every Saturday event hosted by the radio station.

2. Re-opening of country dancing on Thursdays at The Corral at Fast Eddie's in Centreville, VA (in the new Corral upstairs) is delayed yet another week.  The night features dance lessons with Danielle at 7:30pm and The Southern Winds Band and DJ Mini Me from 8:30 to 11pm. Thanks from the band to those of you who came out in November & December to show support.  The support has to continue to keep it going.

3. 'Country by the Bay' on January 16 was GREAT!  Those of you who missed it, missed a great time. We had the S. MDers as well as a number of people from VA and other locations. Bring your Valentine (or not) & come out & join us at the next dance on Saturday, February 13.  Dancers, it's definitely worth the drive. The Southern Winds Band will play from 8pm - midnight. I'll be teaching a line dance at 7 (?) and a couples' dance at 7:30 (?).  Come out & join the party!  The cover includes dance lessons, draft beer, soda, & snacks, as well as the dance.  The floor is HUGE (the absolute biggest in the area) & hardwood, and easy on the feet and legs.  I am taking ALL of the table reservations by email.  The whole schedule for 2010 is below in 'Looking Ahead

4.  Nick's lessons continue on Tuesdays (line and couples'), Fridays (line and couples') and Saturdays (line).  Come out & learn some new dance moves!  On Tuesdays, Line dance lessons and cover are FREE in January. Nick's is offering a Valentine's Weekend Dinner package for couples.  Richie Fields will be the band that weekend. There's also a big Mardi Gras party planned on Feb. 16 with DARK WHISKEY, featuring a Cajun & Creole all you can eat $10 buffet. The St. Patty's party will be on Tuesday, March 16 with PLOWBOY.  Country Open Mic Night is the 1st Wednesday of the month.  Check the listings below in 'Looking Ahead' for more info or check www.nicksnightclub.com

5. The S. MD dances at the Hotel Charles on Fridays are continuing.  The February dances are 2/5 & 2/19.  The Hotel Charles is located in Hughesville, MD.

6. Club Baltimore (formerly Little Texas) is continuing the Friday dances.  Chuck & Diana are DJing on Fridays from 8pm to closing. The hope is they can continue to get back to having a good number of country dancers to be able to keep the country going.  Cover is $5 with no lessons until the crowd builds up.  Email Diana at reetpetite@comcast.net for more info.

7.  The next NVCWDA dance will be Saturday, February 6, at Luther Jackson M.S. in Falls Church, VA.  NVCWDA dances feature DJ music and, usually, two lessons:  a line dance at 7:30 and a couples' lesson at 8:00.  The atmosphere is friendly with no smoking and no alcohol.  Snack food is provided (sometimes more than snacks).  The dances are held on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Saturdays.  Check www.nvcwda.org for more information on the organization and the activities.  NOTE:  If schools cancel activities for weather, this dance is affected. The NVCWDA website has that announcement.

8. There are dance lessons through the Parks & Recreation agencies in several counties. There are line dance & couples' classes in Calvert County (MD) at Mt. Hope Community Center on Thursdays with Terrie Pirkey.  Check the website: http://www.co.cal.md.us/residents/parks/arts/ for information and registration.

9. There are several locations for dance lessons sponsored by Fairfax Co. Parks. They are generally held in sessions of several weeks in length, so there is a start date and an end date.  Pre-registration through the county system is required and the time varies from center to center on how long before a class begins the registration has to be done.  Information and registration can be located at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/parktakes.htm I've included as many as I know about in the listings below.

10. The Country Steppers Dance Team is still seeking more dancers to join the team.  The team is the official show team for the Northern Virginia Country Western Dance Association (NVCWDA).  For information, go to the association's web site at:  www.nvcwda.org then click on dance team. The purpose of the team is to show the public what country western dancing is all about.  So, if you've got some extra time & want to do more dancing, give them a try.

11.  If you need directions to any of the places listed, check the listing of the event or check the web address or email in each item.  If all that fails, let me know.  I do have directions to some of the locations & know how to find some of the others.
