It's a New Year at FunDancers

FunDancers does not dance on New Years Day but we're pulling out all the stops for next Sunday (January 8):
  5 to 7 pm - Beginner party, suitable for anyone who can walk (even if they never danced before)
  7 to 9 pm - Club Dance for experienced dancers
  9:15 pm - afterparty at Chuy's
 
It takes a lot of courage for people to try dancing for their very first time.  Let's offer the normal encouragements such as "it's FREE" and "you'll have fun".  I suppose we could add "just try it for 5 minutes.  If you're not having a tremendously good time, just scurry out the same door you entered".  In other words, "How Can You Know, Unless You Try?".
 
More people would dance if they only had a CLUE about the benefits!  When you're talking to people about FunDancers, play up the benefits!  Where else can you have fun, be with friends, burn mega-calories, learn something new, enjoy an authentic American activity, listen to a huge variety of music, be entertained, feel great, etc ... all at the same time?  It happens at FunDancers on Sunday, January 8th at 5 pm!  Please talk it up among your friends!
 
Switching topics, a Caller School (to teach people how to call) is scheduled January 5 thru 9.  It's sold out:  there are no remaining spaces for student callers.  However we do need DANCERS for the students to practice their calling skills. The dance level is Mainstream (except for Monday morning when we practice calling for rank beginners).
  
Please look at the schedule below and reply by email with the time(s) that fit your schedule.  If you can help out once, twice or several times, it's great. If you can't help at all but you're at least thinking about us, that's great too. It's a wonderful feeling to help others learn to call.  You'll have fun.  You might learn more about dancing than you ever wanted to know. :)  In addition, you get to dance to your heart's content, absolutely free and with deep appreciation.
 
The Caller School is in Schertz at exit 175.  Please reply by email or phone (956-622-0557) and let me know your choice of time slot(s).  I'll email you back to confirm.
