Thursday, April 11: Our monthly dance. Theme: Humor Me!
April is National Humor Month. Let's enjoy the fun of dancing and some laughs -- or maybe even Good Humor ice cream (if someone brings some)! Bring a joke (in good taste, please) to tell your corner. Our caller this month will be Ben Stokes; Sarah Klaphake will cue rounds. 7-9 p.m., at the Bloomington Center for the Arts, 1800 West Old Shakopee Road, Bloomington, MN 55431.
Thursday, April 18: Intro to Square Dance session
Learn the basics of square dancing at 7 p.m., at the Bloomington Center for the Arts, 1800 West Old Shakopee Road, Bloomington, MN 55431. Angels needed and appreciated. Everyone's welcome: solos, couples, and families. No charge. Casual attire. Steve @ 651-602-9898. Sponsored by Spares and Pairs.
Thursday, April 25: Track 2 session
Our Track 2 program adds to the calls you've learned in our Intro sessions. If you've been dancing at Intros for several weeks and feel comfortable enough to move ahead to more complex calls, these sessions are for you. Otherwise, you're welcome to keep dancing at Intros. If you're looking to return to square dancing, we strongly recommend a quick brushup at some Intro sessions before joining Track 2.
Track 2 sessions will be held on the fourth Thursday of each month. It should take 4-5 sessions to pick up the remaining calls. If you have to miss a session, no worries! Come back the next month. You'll review previous calls and learn new ones. Eventually you will have covered all the ones you missed. You can dance Track 2 as many months as you like. We'll let you know when you've picked up all the calls!
Thursday, May 2: Intro to Square Dance session
Square Dancing is a great social activity, and a fun way to get some exercise. Learn how, 7 p.m., at the Bloomington Center for the Arts, 1800 West Old Shakopee Road, Bloomington, MN 55431. Angels needed and appreciated. Everyone's welcome: solos, couples, and families. No charge. Casual attire. Steve @ 651-602-9898. Sponsored by Spares and Pairs.
Thursday, May 9: Our monthly dance. Theme: Mismatch!
So wrong it's right! Wear the craziest mismatched clothing you can manage. Or do something wild with your hair or your makeup. Got a weird hat? Can you match up a Vikings top and Packers pants? Got a bathing suit you could wear over your regular square dance clothes? Use your imagination and be ready to show off to your square!
Larry Fruetel and Sarah Klaphake will lead the dancing. 7-9 p.m., at the Bloomington Center for the Arts, 1800 West Old Shakopee Road, Bloomington, MN 55431.
