Wear your favorite hat (suitable for mixed company)! Larry Fruetel will be our caller and Doug Brodeen will cue between tips.
Sunday, May 11: Fishing Widow(er)s Dance
Yes, it's Mother's Day. And Fishing Opener. Lots going on. But if you just want to dance, our doors will be open. A Mainstream Workshop will start at 2:15 pm and will run till 3:15. Bring your troublesome calls or just get some floor time. Angels are welcome! Please note: the workshop is not for students attending Intros or lessons; all Workshop dancers must have been exposed to all 68 Mainstream calls. Others are welcome to watch.
At 3:30, the Mainstream tips start. We'll keep the dancing going and the breaks short and frequent until we stop at 5. (Sorry, no rounds on Sundays at present.) Larry Fruetel calling.
Sunday, June 8: It's another Sunday dance at Spares and Pairs
Practice that call you just can't nail down or limber up on the weekend before the Minnesota State Square Dance Convention! We won't be dancing on Thursday this month so this will be your June opportunity to dance with us. Same format as May 11.
Thursday, June 12: No dance
It's Minnesota State Square Dance Convention weekend. Our convention is to not dance this week, to allow our dancers and visitors the most flexibility in attending the convention. Come join us in July!
