Dancing Lifts the Spirits
Dear Dancing Friends,
Happy Labor Day Weekend and hopefully some less hot and humid days and nights! Hope you are all well and happy.
Since I'm not sure how many of you remember, all chapters of USA Dance are now on a two year term for officers and board members. So I guess you have me back for a fourth year! I know the other board members are returning also, so that's a good thing. We still have two more openings on the board. This means you would attend four meetings per year (unless we need more) and vote on policy at the meetings. It is not a heavy duty thing, and a good way to get to know your club organization. If you are interested, please let me know. 352 344 1383 or spiritofcitrus@gmail.com.
September 17 is USA Dance Chapter 6072, Spirit of Citrus Dancers' celebration of National Ballroom Dance Week. To honor this event, and promote ballroom dancing, we are offering a special incentive to our existing dancing friends. If you bring someone to this dance who has not been here before, we will let both them and you in for free that night! People who show up as a response to our advertisements in the paper and fliers will get in for free anyway if they have never been to Kellner. We will have some jewelry and other gifts to raffle off that night, as well as desserts to share.
As we take a look at planning the events for the 2012 dance season, you might think back on the sorts of things you enjoyed in the past and encourage us to do more of the same, or you might want something new and different. This is your opportunity to give us your ideas - be creative and challenge us. It's a good opportunity to give us your input, both the positive and the needs improvement kind. We will improve in proportion to how much feedback we get.
A suggestion I have…. When you see new people at a dance, it's a great idea to take a few minutes and talk to them. If everyone does this, they will feel welcomed, and no one individual ends up having to entertain them for the evening. It is a simple thing- but significantly affects if they will return or not. Again, a friendly reminder, if you see single men or women at the dance, we should ask them to dance, even though we came with a partner. We can make or break their experience with us. As your president I make every effort to chat with them, but I am only one person. You all can help me out with that! I'm counting on you.
Hugs,
Barb Krejca
President of USA Dance Chapter 6072 Spirit of Citrus
