Dance Report 

Hello Everyone!  

 

Our June 13 dance brought out the "wild" in everyone, or should I say "Wild Rhythms"??  From the Cumbia lesson to the Bachata's & Cha-Cha's, there was energy abounding!  A Jerusalema line dance was also added, and on a quieter note, the Waltz mixer was a beautiful sway around the floor enjoyed by many.

 

 

The decorations consisted of tables adorned with black table cloths, vases filled with palm leaves & bright tropical flowers, and little wild animals hanging about.  Members & guests were invited into the jungle by Linda G. & Tamara who manned the check-in table.

The delicious appetizers & desserts donated by all of the committee members were enjoyed by everyone throughout the night.  As always, the food table continues to be a favorite part of all the monthly dances!

​It was amazing to see such great dancing by the young and old, the beginners and the seasoned!  Thank you to all who attended "Wild Rhythms" & made it such a special evening!  I am grateful to VSD for the fun and friendship that it brings to us all.

 

Many thanks to our committee:  Linda & John Guttierrez (John played some great music), Tamara Galli, Diane Sellers, Michelle Peters, Ahmed Bahar, Ed Torres, & Linda Ruiz.  A special thanks to Stan Medina for kindly agreeing to MC as well.  It was my pleasure to mentor Kristine Lewis as my Co-Chair!  She has amazing talent & will be a great asset to our dances in the future.

Sincerely, Sally Bailey
