Wow!
Our April 8 Ballroom Dancers of Tulsa dance had the largest
attendance ever - and the amazing dance demos were worth coming
for even if you were not a dancer! Several more exciting things are
coming:
1. On April 29 we are having another of our
"extra" dances (in an effort to provide a chance at more floor space).
The special theme is "Fabulous Forties", and we've asked our DJ Tim
Hawkins to spin some tunes from that wonderful 1940's era. Come dressed
for the era, or just come in "after 5" attire.
These "extra" dances have simpler decor and usually no
lesson, but instructor Donna Beth Ingersoll has
graciously offered to come from 7 - 8:00 to teach the Peabody,
just for the fun and enjoyment of all! That information was not on our
flyer, so please spread the word.
We are also excited to have dancers from the Monica Huggins
Dance Theater (the new leading contemporary dance company) coming to
share demonstrations with us at 9 and 10.
All this fun for the low price of $5 for members and
students, and $10 for non-members. We will be at the Elks Lodge as
usual (5335 S. Harvard). General dancing from 8 - 11.
A reminder - there is NO SMOKING AND NO OUTSIDE
ALCOHOL allowed in the Elks Lodge. We are pleased to have an
excellent relationship with the Elks, and we do not want to damage that
in any way. Please be sure to respect their policies.
2. Ballroom demo team!
Ballroom Dancers of Tulsa (BDT) is organizing a
Demo/Exhibition Dance Team. If you are
interested in learning more about the project and possibly being a part
of the BDT Demo Dance Team, please attend
the meeting on the 29th at 3:00pm.
This team will learn, practice, and present choreographed group
ballroom dance routines at community events around the Tulsa area to
promote ballroom dancing. Being a part of the
group will require a regular time commitment for practice, the
exhibitions and a certain amount of expense for choreography and
costumes.
We are looking for people who are
able to dance the 6 "core" ballroom dances at a bronze level or above. Cha-Cha, Foxtrot, East Coast Swing, Rumba, Tango
and Waltz are the 'core' dances.
If you are
unsure of your level, please fill out the form (attached or get one at the dance),
and attend the planning meeting scheduled for Saturday, April 29th
at the Elks Lodge (5335 S Harvard) at 3:00pm.
See you all on Saturday!
