Sunday is our Halloween party, so wear a costume if you wish! This is a golden opportunity for those who might be out of practice with their dancing. Just wear a good costume. If you goof up, nobody has the foggiest idea who you are! :) If you do NOT choose to wear a costume, that's okay too. Come find out what others will wear. It will be fun.

Every Sunday is Special at FunDancers:
- October 30 - National Caller Mike Kelly - "Halloween Party"

- November 13 - Club Caller Nasser Shukayr - "Beginner Hour at 7 pm"
- November 20 - Guest Caller Nelda Eaton
- November 27 - dark for holiday weekend
- December 4 - Guest Caller Brad Caldwell

November 13th is "Beginner Hour" from 7 to 8 pm. You're encouraged to bring beginners, even if they never danced before. We'll show them a few simple steps and before you know it, they'll have a fantastic hour of fun, music, intrigue, fitness, laughter, friendship, etc. Then we'll invite everyone back to our famous Beginner Dance Series which starts on January 8.

Happy Halloween! Nasser and Jeanna are doing a Tennessee Tour this weekend: Nashville, Knoxville, Chattanooga. The fall foliage is supposed to be spectacular up there. We just might bring back some dead leaves for show and tell. :)

Have fun, be with friends, burn mega-calories, learn something new, feel great and enjoy an authentic American activity ... ... all at the same time ... at FunDancers on Sunday!

Here's a good way to describe special guest caller Mike Sikorsky:

Johnny Preston at FunDancers this Sunday, October 9

This coming Sunday October 9 is extra special. For the first time ever at FunDancers, you can dance to TWO internationally-known callers. Superstar Caller Johnny Preston and Club Caller Nasser Shukayr will call together for your enjoyment. Although Sunday will be the first time these two callers have worked together, the list of places (all over the world) they have each called would make Rand McNally blush. FunDancers is also Johnny Preston's only San Antonio / Austin area appearance so if you want to dance to him in 2011, make a beeline to FunDancers! Don't miss what is sure to be a fun and memorable dance.

We had a great time last week with "Free Sample Day" and met some new friends. Here's what one of 'em wrote:
"Had sooo much fun square and line dancing with this group! Everyone -- EVERYONE -- was super nice, friendly, funny, and very helpful. I appreciated the warm welcome and the patience all my dancing buddies had while I got into the groove of things. This group is really wonderful and I am so glad I found out about it. Can't wait to go back!!"
Big thanks to all the Fundancers who showed our visitors such a great time. We'll do another "Free Sample Day" (welcoming brand-new people, even if they never danced before) on November 6th. Our famous Beginner Dance Series starts on January 8, 2012. New people are the lifeblood of any organization. If you know some old GROUCHY people, please keep FunDancers a well-guarded secret. :) But if you know any good FUN energetic FRIENDLY people, please invite them to FunDancers on November 6th and/or January 8th.
