Hi from sunny and I mean sunny Florida, it is 2:00 in the afternoon and you could fry an egg on the pavement of the driveway.
Tap Kats - boy am I ever proud of you. Last weeks shows were really were received. You were the hit of the Mother Daughter banquet. Anxious to be back dancing with you .
Fox Run - Mostly did a lot of reviews. Taught Sherry Baby and Wonderful World. 1 more class here before going back to Ohio. As much as I miss the people I dance with in Ohio I am already missing the Florida group. Love to all of you and thanks for putting up with me.
Love Judy

Well, we said goodbye to BayTree classes until late fall. Thank you for dancing with me - I had a great time.
Fox Run: 2 weeks left but who is counting. This has been the best season for me yet. Thanks to all of you.
We did a lot of 1 walls and went over Suzanne Wilson's new teaches, Champagne Promise and Be Alright. Re introduced Rio.
Interesting: Suzanne taught Mary Lou Crowes dance You Me And The Country and has used this dance as part of her warm up's every week - Suzanne calls it The Shake dance. She has also taught some of Frank Traces dances - 1 favorite of course is Mama Maria. In The Villages they love Frank's Martini Time. Sandy Goodman's newest dance is being taught at some of the favorite places to dance in Orlando. These things make home seem closer than what it really is.
Line Dancing classes at the Manchester Administrative Building, 6075 Manchester Rd, New Franklin OH 44319. Let's try new times - beginner at 5:30 to 6:15 - Intermediate 6:15 - 7:45 or???? Considering an afternoon class on Thursdays at 2:30 to 4. I need to know if there would be an interest in this time? Call or text me at 330-697-1440. These classes will start after Memorial Day. Hope you will "Come Dance With Me".

Sunny Florida is great and dancing is too. Went to Suzanne Wilson't class on Monday . It is fun to be on the learning side - no pressure.
BAYTREE - Almost everyone left for north. So we did a lot of reviews and we played with learning Lonely Drums. Maybe 2 more weeks left for their season.
FOX RUN- This class has a lot of people who live in Fl permanently but we still have had to say good bye to quite a few. Don't really like good byes. I took it easy on them today - new dance taught is a beautiful waltz called Love Lifted Me by Roger Neff. My Mother My Teacher My Friend by Ira is going really well. Other teachers in the area are teaching Chicken Truck by Rick Todd and they all love it. Some of you may recall the dance Four Star Boogie , we dance this to I Like It I Love It, we had fun with that one today because there is a commercial out using that song. Then Jerry said we do that dance back home but they dance it to God Bless Texas. Gypsy Queen is another dance we brought back today. Three more Fridays left.
Ohio classes will resume Monday after Memorial Day - Looking forward to dancing with you again,
Hugs!

Hi all,
Doin' good and still in Florida enjoying the sunshine. Soon it will be getting too hot. Hopefully Ohio will soon stop getting snow and the flowers and trees will be budding and the grass turning green. We have friends from Akron that have ought a mobile home down here and will be taking possession the first of the month and then we have friend that sold their mobile home here and are moving back to Ohio on the 23rd of April and I believe we will be here to help both. The plan right now is to be here for 1 more month.
Baytree - We had a pizza party and no lessons but we did dance and were able to do 20 different dances - outstanding...... We will be continuing classes up until Mothers Day.
Fox Run - We wormed up with Cab Drier (unknown) and Suzanne Wilson's Hot Country Girl, Reviewed EZ Cha Cha (Regia Cheung), My Mother My Teacher My Friend (Ira Weisburd), K Is For Kicks (Christopher Gonzalez), Whiskey Bridges (Madison Glover), Broken Stones (Dee Musk), Reggae Cowboy (Gene Schrivener), Dance Her Home (Rob Fowler), Doing The Walk (Pim Jef, & Roy), Requested to go over Stitches (Amy Glass).
Remember if you rest, you rust, so keep on dancing.

I have so many dances that I that to share with Ohio dancers.
Baytree classes will continue until Mother's Day. We haven't set a closing day for Fox Run yet. This coming Tuesday we will have a dance/pizza party at Baytree 4:15 to 5:45. Nothing new will be taught but we will do some one wall walk through's. This Monday we will be dancing at Imperial East with the band. What a great time we had last Monday. Bring your own drink and snack to share although you really won't have time to eat - only just dance.
Fox Run - What a great class we had this morning. Love all the energy and happiness that I felt in the room. I feel so Blessed to be here and to dance with you. Today (the Ohio dancers will understand this) was a difficult time for me to teach but Ira Weisburd came up with this really great dance called My Mother My Teacher My Friend. That describes my Mother so well. Thank you Ira. The class is really an intermediate group and they pick up dances quickly but this beginner dance was a little challenge - mostly due to rhythm - those holds made the dancers think. 2nd time we did the dance it was perfect. They also enjoyed Ez Cha cha by Regina Cheung. We used the song Sway by Pussycat Dolls - I know you already have a dance to that song but open your minds to new things and try it. Both classes loved it and they called it a keeper. Warm up dance was Sue Ann Ehmann,s Fun For All. Intermediate dances we are working hard on are Dive Right In and Doing The Walk and there wasn't enough time to go over All The King's Horses so hopefully next week. Until then
Come dance with me,
Judy

From sunny Florida
Some people have already packed up and are trying to get home before Easter. I wish them all a very safe trip. Many people here are having northern family in for Easter. In two weeks this will feel like a deserted movie set and I will be able to dance and sing in the streets and no one will be watching. Happy Easter to those near and far.
Had a really fun time dancing at Imperial East Park this past Monday. The band was wonderful and they love to play music for us to dance too. My husbands cousins from California were with us for a week and they are dancers and when I say they are dancers I mean it. People clear the floor just to watch them. They are in their mid 80's and if you were to ask them they would say life is good.
Tuesday at Baytree the new dance was K Is For Kicks choreographer Christopher Gonzalez - fun dance that I hope will be around for awhile. Then we worked on Boot Scootin' Boogie. The version they use here is by an unknown choreographer and some of the dancers have even made some of their own versions and they made this a contra dance and it was fun. It goes like this - Fan R toes out in out in - vine right and left , walk back RLR hitch, two step forward hitch at same time make a 1/2 left turn (at this point you will be passing through to the opposite side), walk back LRL hitch, finish up with a two step left, two step right, 2 step left and start over. This makes it a 36 count dance - now keep in mind I did not choreograph this. Tee hee - but it was fun and the class liked it too.
Fox Run - We also did the above and worked extra hard on Dive right In by Will craig and closed with a 1 wall review of The Bop.
Bye for now, I need to get busy and color some eggs, or maybe I will go look for the golden egg.
Happy Easter
Judy
