April 21st dance in the Victorian Room in Thomaston

The room was beautiful and the wooden floor was great.

 

 

 

 

 

Our DJ Aaron DeMarest enjoyed playing requests and resisted sitting on the sofas and arm chairs available at that end of the room. 

Sharon Haggart taught “Walking Away” ,  Choreographer by Rachael McEnaney to Alan Jackson’s “As She’s Walking Away”.  Please click on link below to get the step sheet.

A great dance on April 7th with lots of smiling faces.

Thank you Millie Gagne for teaching “Marry You” choreographed by Rosie Multari to music by Bruno Mars. 

It was easy to learn and fun to dance.

Some people, including our DJ Dennis Bosse, did their own dance.

Although their table may suggest what sparked them to do “The Macarena”

Dance taught February 4th by Sharon Haggart

 

Thank You to Sharon Haggart for teaching “Baby Didn’t I” that was choreographed by John Robinson.  Music “Didn’t I” by James Wesley.

February 18th dance.

Aric had everyone dancing all night long.  He even joined the dancers for some songs and then dashed back up into the DJ booth.

These dedicated dancers continued to dance after most went out to get refreshments at the break.

THANK YOU to all who donated the refreshments.  There was a big variety and all were delicious.

Toy Drive “Variation” at our Nov. & Dec. dances

Please donate a toy to your favorite charity or bring to a location that collects the toys for children in your area.  We can no longer collect toys at the dances in November and December because everyone, both members & non-members, have been so generous in the past that the toys do not fit in the car.

November 5th dance change in DJ & Instructor
