Starting November 1 for four weeks we will start a new beginners
series for West Coast Swing. This class will be suitable for new
dancers and those new to West Coast Swing. If you came to any
classes before and they were too fast, this is the class for you.
This class will be nice and slow, with no dancer left behind.
This class is on Sunday nights from 6:30 to 7:30. If you know
anyone that wants to get started dancing, send them to this class.
Tuesday night East Coast Swing with Richard at the Boltin Center.
Wednesday night Swing at the Eagles Club with Josh and Brianna.
See the article below on learning from different teachers.
The International Folk Dancers are going to the Greek Dance
this Friday instead of their usual location.

Bill Mauffray hosts a PPIR networking event Fall Fest on October
14, 5:30-7:30 pm at Prestwick Properties 25527 Newberry Rd.

Article: Learn from Different Teachers
When I go to South Florida I like to take a Hustle class from
Billy and Katie who are two of the most accomplished dancers
in the world.
Last month I was disappointed that they were not there. Their
class was being taught by a woman from their advanced session.
Had I known in advance, I would have been tempted not to go.
She exceeded my expectations and the class was excellent.
She covered the same material Katie covers, but she had her own
insights and I got a bunch of new things I could use right away.
Some were:
1. On the and-one back break, she said the front, upper
part of the woman's leg is the pretty part, and the
best way to show it during the break is to turn the hip
slightly out to show the leg on an angle to the side.
2. The two step is usually the woman's pretty step,
because she takes a full step forward. This is
in the woman's left half turn.
3. In the same woman's left half turn, she said to
shorten up the three, so it would be quicker,
and then the woman would have more time to do
her and-one with style.
4. On the woman's left one-and-a-half turn, she said
to turn in place and not travel, making the turn
easier, more controlled, faster and prettier.
5. She said one of the things that made Billy a
champion was he did his breaks, he straightened
his legs.
While I am sure Katie knows all those things, I happened
to get them from this teacher. Take classes from different
people to get new insights.

Article: Venus Not Mercury Over Paynes Prairie
This morning within an hour before sunrise, Venus, Mercury
and Saturn rose over Paynes Prairie.
I have not yet knowingly seen Mercury and hoped this would
be a chance.
The timing seemed right, but fog obscured the horizon and
only Venus was visible in the eastern sky.
Mars was overhead and a nearly full moon was in the west.
I battled mosquitoes in the dark and was glad I was alone.
With light came others. The mosquitos retreated.

there is something to see.
