Fw: Easter Dancing on Monday!

Dear Dancers,

Easter is upon us! Randy has a couple of Easter dances planned. As usual, there are so many themed English dances--something written for every occassion. Come dance the beautiful Easter Thursday and Easter Morn dances, as well as our usual repertoire.

This Saturday some of our English dancers and our wonderful band, Hoggetowne Fancy, will be performing at the Downtown Plaza at 11:50 am at Viva Europe. Come see us and enjoy the many events planed for this day-- European dancing, music, and food. We have some lovely dances planned. We will be doing them on Monday night. If you are interested in performances, come on a regular basis. Or come just to dance, enjoy the beautiful music, and great people.

Remember, the Mayfair Ball is approaching. This is a good opportunity to dance most of the day without having to stay overnight. It is a bargain. There is an afternoon dance as well as an evening ball. What to wear? There is something in your closet that will be fine. And we will be practicing the signature dance, Mayfair, on Mondays. Details:
