January 27 Second free week of class Rich (our caller) reviewed most of what was taught last week and added a new call: Star Thru February 3: Review of most of the previously taught calls Added calls this week: Single Circle (1/2) - No animation yet U-Turn Back Wheel Around Next week we start piling on new things! If you've missed these three weeks you can probably catch up as Rich brings the three intro weeks into line (some folks didn't get to all three) but after that we'll be closing the class to new "I'v-never-danced" students. |
