here has been a question concerning our insurance policy Tcoverage. Our accident policy covers a person while they are participating in dance club activities sponsored by the policy holder. Th is coverage is excess coverage so it picks up where the person’s own insurance leaves off . So there is no primary coverage for someone who does not have health insurance. • Accident Medical Expense Benefi t Maximum is $5,000.00 • Deductible Amount is $0.00 EXCESS COVERAGE APPLIES INSURED PERSON means any person who is a member of the Policyholder. COVERED ACTIVITIES means Th is policy covers each Insured Person during the policy period while he or she is: (a) participating in dance club activities sponsored by the Policyholder while on the premises of, designated by and under the direct supervision of the Policyholder, or (b) traveling with a group in connection with such activities under the direct supervision of the Policyholder; or (c) traveling directly to or from the activities and his or her home or lodging place. BENEFITS AND AMOUNTS Accidental Death Benefi t Principal Sum: $10,000.00 Accidental Dismemberment Benefi t Principal Sum: $10,000.00 Accident Medical Expense Benefi t Maximum Benefi t: $5,000.00 Deductible Amount: $0.00 Maximum Dental Limit: $250.00 Th e liability insurance is 1,000,000 with 2,000,000 aggregate as demonstrated by the generic certifi cate on the web site.

I encourage all dancers to look for opportunities to join workshops for “alternative dancing,” “DBD dancing,” and “all position dancing.” Not only will you pick up some skills, but when you become profi cient, you will dramatically increase the number of mainstream and plus calls that your caller can confi dently call, doubling the amount of fun on the fl oor.

hanksgiving was fun, and Christmas and the new year are Tupon us. But what does that mean for square dancing? During the month of December, there are usually just two lessons. Between Th anksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s, students will usually miss out on three to four weeks of dancing. Th is is the time of year when students tend to have doubts and get the feeling that they have missed too many lessons to come back. Th erefore, it is an important time to reach out to students and let them know they are wanted back aft er the holidays are over. Just a quick e-mail, text,or a phone call reminding of when lessons start back up can make all of the diff erence. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Caleb
