September
Lessons Two Step with
Don Leynes modified: Newbies continued to join the Beginner lessons where Don, assisted by Julie Hein, mixed
laughter with learning as he introduced the basics of this quintessential
country dance. Intermediate dancers
were laughing too, mostly at Don, as he integrated clever patterns with pithy
(no, that is not a lisp) technique.
The previous week’s lesson was reviewed, and those who practiced were
rewarded with a wink and a smile. Join
us! This
Wednesday night, Two Steppers can place an order for a video of this month’s
lessons (including the one taught at the first Friday dance). |
