At the Highlands Senior Center some of us dance all day.
There's line-dancing, with Paul, 9 to 10.
From 10 to noon Cecil Schultz and his Good Time Sing Along Band play ballroom dance music. They'll insert a line-dance or two as well.
Framed by Don's guitar, Ahn waltzes with Paul.
Raising her right hand while twisting her waist signals her
to begin the lady's six count underarm turn.Noon to 1 Lois has been accompanying our lunch on her keyboard.
From 1 to 3 the Sunny Boys provide the ball room music.
At some point in the afternoon session, sometimes right at 1, Paul arranges for the teaching of a ballroom dance step. This summer we've covered basic steps for the foxtrot, the waltz, and the rumba. We have some excellent dancers among us and Paul tries to share the talent. Professionals Ron and Astrid may teach the step, or standouts Sam and Connie ... or Vince and Lorraine ... Our snowbirds will provide others once the season gets rekindled.
Leading tips, couple position, ballroom etiquette ... also get covered. Paul sometimes adds comments and sometimes demonstrates a step himself. There are just so many basic dance steps, but many many Wednesdays: so naturally basics will be repeated, again and again.
Paul, Lois, Connie
