Good Morning!
Thankfully, Illinois continues to reopen. Because this is a gradual return to normal, line dance classes and dances are still in flux:
1) I’m hosting outdoor, live, in-person line dancing from 10 – 11:30 am Monday – Friday mornings this week for those of you who are ready to go out. These are small groups and no RSVP is required, as we are outside and have plenty of space between us. New this week is an OUTDOOR INTERMEDIATE 3-HOUR LINE DANCE on Friday night with Ray from Delaware, who will be in town this weekend. Details are below; I hope this schedule works for you so we can dance together!! I’m also working on securing indoor locations where we can dance in small groups, as the restrictions relax.
2) I’m still filming virtual line dances and classes Monday – Friday evenings at 7:00 pm CST for those of you who do not feel comfortable going out yet, and will be doing so through the end of August. I know virtual line dancing is getting old, and yet it’s not feasible for some of you to go out yet. I suggest you consider dancing to a live or pre-recorded class with 1-3 others who are in your immediate circle. A group that small can fit into a living room or kitchen to dance, and the social interaction will benefit everyone! Meeting together for a line dance led by me virtually is a valid option. Some of you can fit 10 in your basement or family room – call some friends and dance!
3) Thursday evenings now alternate between Beginner 2 virtual lessons and a Beginner 2, 18-song virtual dance. Hope you enjoy it; Ray will co-host with me this week! Try it; you may like it!
