Several people from the studio have now asked me about the upcoming Joie De Vie Summer Dance. I would be very appreciative if you could pass on the following to the Studio List:

1)  If you aren't attending the Country Party at Shall We Dance on Saturday, August 29, but are interested in other dancing opportunities, Joie De Vie (http://JoieDeVie.Org), Oklahoma's oldest social dancing club would like to invite any interested dancers to attend their final informal Summer Dance on Saturday, August 29, 2009 at the Oklahoma City Golf and Country Club. There will be dancing to sounds of the Kip Curtis Combo from 8 pm to 11:00 pm; Cocktails (cash bar) and Hor's D'oeuvres (included) begin at 7 pm. As this is the club's "Hawaiian Cruise Dance" for the Summer, attire is "cool Hawaiian or country-club casual". Those of you who went to the Edmond dance know that Kip Curtis does a great job playing for ballroom dancing. The fee is $65 per couple or $32.50 for an individual for the evening. Attendance is normally by invitation only or as a guest of a member, so if you are interested, please contact Dan Glatzhofer at [log in to unmask], to make arrangements to attend. Dan will need to know of your interest by 5 pm Wednesday, August 19. The Oklahoma City Golf and Country Club is on Penn just a few blocks north of NW 63rd.

2)  People who aren't going on the Studio trip this weekend might be interested to know that "Son del Barrio", who had a good chunk of Norman doing Salsa, Merengue, and Cumbia at Andrews Park this past Sunday, will be playing at Coaches in Norman this Saturday night at ca. 10 pm. Their appearance is sponsored by the OU Salsa Club.
