It has been some time since I have written in this blog, sorry about that, but life and my computer tend to have their own agendas from time to time.
The Quinte Twirlers had a great year from Sept to May. We had a good crowd each week and we thank our members for being there this year.
Our Apple Blossom Dance was a great success again this year. We had scheduled Norm Wilcox from Peterborough as our guest caller, however he was unable to attend due to illness. Everyone at the Quinte Twirlers Club wishes Norm a speedy recovery. Dave Williamson filled in for Norm and did an excellent job, we thank Dave for being there and for making it a great afternoon.
Doug and I made an appearance at the Trenton Squares and Pairs Club for the annual Valentines Day dance. Even though we are not completely done our "Plus" teachings we managed to make it through, with a little help from our friends.... we had a great night.
We also tried to get off to dance with the Napanee Pioneers Club as much as possible on Friday evenings. We always have a good time with our friends in Napanee and they have a 50's / 60's dance that is just "Out of this World, Man.... Groovy". Even Elvis makes an appearance for this one!
In April we headed up to Peterborough for the Spring Spree and as usual it was a blast. We have such a great time, however with 2 rooms (2 levels) of dance to choose from, it is so hard to decide. We found ourselves running from room to room in between calls. It's all in fun....
A group from our club headed out to the Alzheimer's Volunteer Luncheon and did a little show for them. Many in the audience enjoyed the dancing and had questions for the dancers. This is an important part of the club. We have to keep getting out there and promoting Square Dancing when ever possible, besides it fun too....
We even took time out this spring to head over the bridge to Prince Edward County. A little hamlet outside of Wellington called Allisonville. There isn't much left, but once a month the Allisonville hall is hoppin with an old time fiddle band and old time square dancing. Mind you we don't enjoy it as much as modern square dance, but the crowd we dance with is so different. I think there was a 6 year old in one square and yes she knew her stuff. We always have a good time at these dances, even though we don't know the moves, they teach as they go....
We are now on break for the summer.... but not really..... there are a few places you can find us dancing and I will fill you all in on this shortly.... I will also post some photos.
Until I see you all again.
Yellow Rock!
