We are very fortunate to have Terry Halley as our Class Caller. The class is sponsored by the Tigard Tri Squares. Our classes begin on Sunday, September 20th 2009. They are held weekly at the Tigard Grange (Click for map), 13770 S.W. Pacific Hwy in Tigard Oregon on Sunday afternoon from 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM. No previous experience is necessary. The first lessons (through October 4th) are "open" to new dancers, meaning you can begin lessons at any time in the first three weeks. After that, the lessons will be closed to "new" students, as we begin to teach additional movements which require the students to know the basics that are covered in the first three weeks. Late start exceptions can be made for dancers with previous experience who want to resume dancing and are looking for a club. Modern Square Dancing is a little different than Classic Square Dancing in that 1) there is no requirement for special attire, although traditional attire is welcomed, and 2) we dance to slightly different music. We still hear Alan Jackson and Roy Rogers but we also dance to Bobby Darin, Elvis, Credence Clearwater Revival, and even the Beatles... Yes, the Beatles!! Square Dancing is good exercise, is a lot of fun, and is very social. Everyone is Welcome. Dress casual. Come and have a good time! The format for the classes is as follows: Begin at 2:30PM, learn a dance movement and practice it for 10 to 15 minutes. Take a short 5 minute break and then continue with either a new movement or practice. At about 3:30PM we take a 15 to 20 minute break for coffee and cookies and to socialize a bit. We then continue the lessons until 4:30PM. For additional information call Ruth at (503) 481-8820. |
