November Dance & October's Review

My, how time flies!  We are already approaching November and with its arrival comes the first Saturday and dancing! :-)  The Troubadour Dance for this month will be on November 2nd, at 6:00 p.m. at the Centralia Community Room.

Last month we were excited to see old friends and meet some new ones!  The Troubadours would like to send out a warm welcome to all of our new dancers!  After overcoming a number of missing dance music selections we had great fun dancing some old favorites while teaching some new dancers.  We found out just how good our dancers are as they learned to adjust to different music with several of the dances.  Good job guys!

The etiquette workshop was a great success as we addressed some of the questions that many of our new dancers ask and polished up some steps that our more experienced dancers wanted to work on.  Thank you to all for being great students! :-)

See you this Saturday!

September Dance

What a wonderful time we had!!

His Lordship's Troubadours held our first dance of the fall last Saturday and what fun it was!  We got to see old friends and become better acquainted with others . The potluck was delicious and the dancing was lively indeed!  

After getting the blood flowing with some familiar dances like the Virginia Reel and Progressive Gordon, we learned some new ones such as the Schottishe.  We even brushed the cobwebs off some old classics as we danced to the Flowers of Edinburgh and Gotham Jubilee.  

As the joyous evening reluctantly drew to a close, everyone danced goodbye to the beautiful strains of our beloved Duke of Kent's Waltz.

As you can tell, a good time was had by all and we look forward to seeing many new faces and more good times in the coming year!

Au revoir!  Until we meet again!
