Angels

We're not sure when lessons will begin for the 2021-22 dance season.  However, when they are scheduled, we'd love to have you set aside your Tuesday evenings and join us with our new student dancers.  Angels make such a difference to our students and their progress.  You make it happen!  You're wonderful!

Dance Punch Cards Available
​
2021-22 dance season punch cards will be available for purchase at our dances.  The cost is $40 for 6 dances and the card can be used by members and guests.  There is no expiration date for these punch cards.  No additional fee is needed for 5th  Friday, Special Caller or Multple Callers Dances.

Greeters & Kitchen Hosts Needed

Please support our club by taking your turn to serve as greeter and kitchen host/hostess this dance season.  If every couple takes both a night to greet and a night to serve  in the kitchen, we're completely covered!  Your assistance with these services makes a real difference in how our club is perceived by other dancers.  Help us make everyone feel welcome both on the dance floor and at break time!  Please do your share and sign up now.    

You can sign up at one of our dances or call our Vice-President, Vicki Lieske @ 360-488-6167.  If you're unable to keep the date you selected, please let Vicki know who your replacement will be.

Lessons

Our lessons began on Tuesday, September 14th, 2021, and run through Dec. 14, 2021.  We still need a Student Liason and a Graduation Coordinator.  Please contact Vicki Lieske if you are interested in this position.  Members, please attend lessons and serve as "angels" to our new dancers.
​
Mystery Caravan

The  2022 Mystery Caravan will be a day outing and is scheduled for Saturday, May 21, 2022.  Be sure to mark that date on your callendar!  More information will follow as the date gets closer.

​Season Dance Passes Available 
​
The club is again offering a Season Dance Pass for all Dudes and Dolls only. The cost for the season pass is $120 and is for all  of our dances.  No additional fees are needed to cover the cost of a 5th Friday, special caller, or multiple callers dance.  The Season Dance Pass is only good for one dancer.  However, you can share your Season Dance Pass with your dance partner.  Your dance partner can use the Season Dance Pass if  they are attending but you are not attending the dance.  If both of you attend the dance, only one of you can use the pass while the other pays the dance donation (either $8, $9 or $10). Season Dance Passes are available for purchase at the sign-in table at most of our dances.

Volunteers Still Needed

Although we don't say it often enough, many thanks to those of you who keep our club running.  Your efforts do not go unnoticed and we really appreciate all that you do.

We will be looking for volunteers for the 2021-2022 positions.  Use the Contact Us form on our website or call and let our Secretary or President know you're interested.

Workshops

Thanks to everyone who attended our workshops. Please let Tom Berg know if you have ideas for upcoming workshops.
