Lots of neat things ahead at FunDancers! This coming Sunday (December 4) enjoy guest caller Brad Caldwell, "Man of Many Voices":
- 5 to 7 pm - Plus Class
- 7 to 9 pm - Club Dance
- 9:15 pm - afterparty at Chuy's
The Plus Class is now actually an "All Plus Dance" because every Plus call has already been taught. Brad will review and re-teach as necessary. A progress chart is online at FunDancers.org/pluschart.htm
This Sunday (December 4) is also our "Soon To Be Famous" "Clothes Closet". Gently used square and line dance gear will be available at bargain prices. Come see if you can find something you've just got to have.
The following week (December 11) is also special. The club's regular caller (can't remember his name, it's been so long) will be baaack. We'll have the final Plus Class (abbreviated) at 6 pm. Later during the Club Dance we'll have a nice Plus Class Graduation ceremony to honor the amazing accomplishments of our brand-new Plus dancers. We will also have our "Sometimes Annual But Always Outstanding" "Christmas Bake Sale", so come out once again and find something that you just can't live without.
Beginner Dances start January 8 with a free Intro Party from 5 to 7 pm. This is ideal for people who have never danced and/or people who used to dance but dropped out. We want all drop-outs to become drop-ins. :) You'll be pleasantly surprised by how quickly your dance skills return. Dancing makes a fantastic New Year's Resolution to bring you more fun, fitness and friends. The resolution is easy to keep because it's so much fun.
We're looking for a few good Sidekicks. A Sidekick is a club member who volunteers to befriend a Beginner. As a Sidekick you'll contact your beginner occasionally, answer any questions he/she might have, and try to dance with your beginner every now and then. :) Sidekicks are volunteers. Look for the Sidekick Signup Sheet at FunDancers and let us know if you'll be a Sidekick for one or more January beginners.
Every Sunday is Special at FunDancers:
- December 4 - Guest Caller Brad Caldwell - "Clothes Closet"
- December 11 - Club Caller - "Bake Sale and Christmas Dance"
- December 18 - Club Caller - "Last Dance of the Year"
- January 8 - Beginner Dance Series starts at 5 pm with a Free Intro Party
Every person is important at FunDancers because it takes all of us to make the fun happen! Thanks for being a key ingredient in the fun, fitness and friendship!

FunDancers does -not- meet this Sunday (November 26) due to the holiday weekend. We meet again on December 4 with guest caller / instructor Brad Caldwell from Georgetown. Brad is well-known for his impersonations and he will probably bring several of his alter-egos with him to the party:

For the first several months of 2012 we'll have Beginners at 5 pm and Club Dance at 7 pm. Dancing is so good for you and it makes a great new year's resolution which is easy to keep because it's so much fun!
Here on Thanksgiving weekend, big thanks to all for helping to make FunDancers an active thriving group. We look forward to several fun events in December and to a funtastic 2012.

Something for Everyone at FunDancers
FunDancers' Plus Class meets on Sunday from 5 to 7 pm. The group has had all but two of the Plus calls. The two remaining calls will be taught tomorrow. Therefore, the Plus Class has now morphed into a Full Plus Dance. If you like to dance the Plus level, there are only four more of the Plus Classes remaining (November 13 & 20, December 4 and 11). It's a great (but limited, just four more weeks) opportunity for those who like to dance "Solid Plus" from 5 to 7 pm.
The regular club dance is from 7 to 9 pm. The dance level is mainstream with two plus tips. We dance lines between every tip and we have no idea what the phrase "take a rest break" means. :)
Have you heard about the special "combo" deal? If you dance both sessions (the 5 pm Plus Class ... which is now just like an All-Plus dance ... and the 7 pm Club dance) your second session is only half price ($2.50). That's a LOT of dancing! Just think about the 2000 calories you'll burn (wow, that's either one banana split or a 450-acre field of celery, your choice) and the 4 hours of fun you'll have. It's not for everyone, but you gotta agree the price is right.
A special feature this coming Sunday is "Beginner Hour" from 7 to 8 pm where we welcome anyone who can walk, even if they never danced before. So ... catch someone new and haul 'em in. Cost for Beginner Hour is only $2. Of course, anyone is welcome to arrive early and/or stay late, but the main beginner dance program is from 7 to 8 tomorrow.
We truly offer something for everyone (rank beginners, experienced (club level), Plus Class and Full Plus). We hope to see you at FunDancers on Sunday!

FunDancers (featuring Beginner Hour at 7 pm) this Sunday November 13
Enjoy the usual suspects this Sunday (November 13) with a slight twist:
- 5 to 7 pm - Plus Class
- 7 to 9 pm - Club Dance (Beginner Hour at 7 pm)
- 9:15 pm - afterparty at Chuy's
The slight twist is "Beginner Hour" from 7 to 8 pm. We've never done "Beginner Hour" before. We've done Beginner TWO hours. This Sunday at Beginner Hour we cordially welcome anyone (age 9 to 99) who can walk. Even if someone never danced before, we'll gladly put up with 'em for an hour.
So, invite all your friends who can walk! Actually, now that you mention it, Nasser and Jeanna know a nice lady in a wheelchair who dances the Advanced-Two (A-2) level and can really keep up. She has a special souped-up wheelchair because the standard model doesn't turn (change directions) fast enough. Hmmm, I know some people -not- in a wheelchair who don't turn fast enough either, but that's another story. The point is, anyone who can walk is welcome at Beginner Hour this Sunday.
At Beginner Hour we'll teach some beginner dance steps, we'll have some "everyone dance together" and we'll even include some "watch the experienced dancers get 'er done". Our guests will discover a fantastic hour of fun, fitness, friendship, entertainment, music, intrigue, etc. Wow, what a concept: burn off those holiday calories, before the actual holiday. :)
The LAST time we did beginners, it was free of charge. The NEXT time we do beginners (in January) it will also be free. Some people are leery of anything free. They keep wondering "what's the catch?". Well, there's NO catch and we'll PROVE it by charging $2 (isn't that Almost Free?) for Beginner Hour on November 13th. Since it's not free, there's nothing to be leery of. For a measly two bucks, you get a full hour of extreme fun. You probably paid more than $2, just last month, to get the beejeebers scaired out of ya' at a haunted house. Paying someone to scare ya'?? What's up with that? I'd much rather pay to have FUN than to get SCAIRT!
If you, or someone you know, line and/or square danced in the past but forgot how, here's the solution: come to Beginner Hour this Sunday at 7 pm. You'll be pleasantly surprised by how quickly you get your dance skills back.
Every Sunday is Special at FunDancers:
- November 13 - Club Caller Nasser & Jeanna - "Beginner Hour at 7 pm".

- November 27 - dark for holiday
- December 4 - Guest Caller Brad Caldwell
- December 11 - Club Caller - "Plus Class Graduation"

Red White and Blue celebration at FunDancers on November 6th
Dance with the usual suspects (Nasser and Jeanna) this coming Sunday November 6th:
- 5 to 7 pm - Plus Class
- 7 to 9 pm - Club Dance
- 9:15 pm - afterparty at Chuy's
This Sunday is our Veteran's Day "Red White and Blue" party. If you want to, wear colors from the US flag.
November 13th is "Beginner Hour" from 7 to 8 pm. Let's invite beginners, even if they never danced before. There will be some beginner dancing and some "watch us professionals get 'er done". We'll teach every step in the beginner dances. Our guests will discover a fantastic hour of fun, fitness, friendship, entertainment, mental challenge, music, etc. They can raid our famous FunDancers refreshments table and we'll invite (hmm, "invite" is too tame a word. How about Entice, Persuade, Beg, Plead, Coerce, Lure, Bribe or Attract?) them to our famous Beginner Dances which start in January.
The last time we did beginners, it was free of charge. The next time we do beginners, it will also be free. Some people are leery of anything free. They can't stop thinking "what's the catch?". Well, there's NO catch and we'll PROVE it by charging $2 for the Beginner Hour on November 13th. Since it's NOT free, there's nothing to be leery of. For a measly two bucks, they get a full hour of authentic fun. You'd gladly pay more than that to ride a merry-go-round. FunDancers is the best deal anywhere and all the proceeds go to a good cause: FunDancers! :)
Big thanks to all FunDancers and guests who make each Sunday so special. The next time you're at that critical decision point of "should I go to FunDancers this week?", here's a hint: the correct answer is "yes". Every person adds something unique and special to the mix. It's just not the same, unless YOU're present!
