First the good news. Reign-N-Country will be sponsoring Friday night dances again this summer at Towerpoint. The dances begin on Friday April 5 and run through Oct 11.
The bad news is that John Klamm is shutting down the dances at Carriage Manor. The last dance will be Sunday, April 14. His email stated in part:
It’s been FUN!! And I truly wish to THANK all the dancers that have supported JOHNE’s CABARET DANCES LLC. throughout the years. We only have a few dances remaining at Carriage Manor, and Jacquie & I will enjoy them for sure.
We will NOT be sponsoring any dances this summer or next winter due to the decreased attendance this past season at Carriage Manor. We wish to thank Carriage Manor for the use of their floor this final season.
I would personally like to thank John and Jacquie for the commitment to these dances. They have meant a lot to us. Without these opportunities we probably would not be dancing today.
I just found out about a group in the East Valley called The East Valley Kickers.
From their website:
EVK was created for people who like Country and/or Swing dancing, and for those who want to discover the joy of it. In just a few months, we have grown to almost 200 members while maintaining a 5-star rating. Obviously, something special is happening here.
We embrace dancers of all skill levels, from “brand new” to “advanced”. We have established a culture that is warm and inviting and where everyone helps everyone out no matter what their skill level.
We strive for “excellence in all we do”. That is part of what makes EVK special.
Sounds like a great group. Check them out at their website: www.meetup.com/EastValleyKickers
Come out and enjoy a great night dancing to great music.
