9/14 at the AMVETS - Back in the Swing of Things

Holy Sardines Batman! 
49 People for lessons! At this rate we're going to have to expand the dance floor! The place was packed. We reviewed Fun Lovin, then taught Baby Dance with Me (OLLY!) for the beginners. We also taught a cute swing style Couples dance that we'll review next week.

It's really great to keep seeing new dancers HOW COOL IS THAT! While we were wrapping up the lessons, the place kept filling up and by the time the band started there wasn't an empty table in the place and few empty chairs to boot. JUST-N-KASE hit the ground running playing uptempo rhythms that kept people on the floor and dancing all night!. I also got a chance on Friday to meet Jerry Lahoulier who's running JERRYOKE Downstairs at the AMVETS wed through Sunday. Nice Guy. If you'd like to be behind a mike instead of in front of the speakers for a change, check him out in person or on the Web at Jerryoke.ComJUST-N-KASE is scheduled to be back for the end of October to help us celebrate Halloween so don't miss em!

WOWW... YEAH BUDDY!!!

What a GREAT first night back at the Chicopee AMVETS!

Our 1st time back after a long fun summer greeted us with a nice Air Conditioned Hall (which was a godsend since it was 90 outside) and 40+ People for the lessons. It was great to see everyone's face again and to see so many of the beginners that we met over the summer. For the lessons we taught a Beginner line and a Beginners Partner and an intermediate partner dance to Easton Corbin's new Song, "Loving you is Fun".

The crowd kept building and by the time Radio Ranch began  the place was packed. Radio Ranch did what they always do laying down some great country tempos that always get us out on the floor and dancing. The crowd held well all night and we closed the place down with Radio Ranch singing God Bless America, a fitting tribute for the weekend before 911.
 

See ya next week with a review of Fun Lovin', a Brand new Partner dance I know you're gonna like and probably a another beginners line dance to keep the new folks dancing.. See Ya Friday!
