Texas Round Dance Teachers Association From the President The Thanksgiving leftovers should all be gone by now and thoughts are turning to the Christmas season and another opportunity to spend time with family and friends. We took the time to reflect on God’s blessing of providing us with such a wonderful round dancing community. Our dancing friends are truly the best. Year 2018 is rapidly coming to an end. We have had many successful weekend round dance festivals during the year and a Roundalab/ ICBDA convention held in nearby Oklahoma. It really was a great year for dancing and learning and there are still a few weeks left. Enjoy the many Christmas parties coming up and keep dancing to help use up all of the extra calories. Most importantly, take some time off to recharge as 2019 is approaching full speed. Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy, Happy New Year Martha & Ed Koslosky

Newsletter – December 2018 Page 1 Texas Round Dance Teachers Association Editor’s Notes
Couldn’t resist the graphic – Were you naughty or nice when you submitted your dance information? Did you check your submission to be sure you were using the requested format? Did you make sure the dance names were spelled correctly, and that you typed in the correct rhythm and phase? The sad truth is – some did . . . and some were . . well, they were just a little bit Naughty. It saves me lots of time when I can just cut and paste your information into my file. Everything then matches in the compiled lists of dances taught from everyone and for dances taught in beginner lessons. Then, it’s easier for both Tammy and JL to use these lists to help put together their dance voting list for Centex and TRDTA South. Please, please, don’t use tabs or multiple spaces, or color your text. Here’s the most appreciated format: Dance name, phase level, rhythm, and choreographer’s last name For example – Sam’s New Pants, 4 FT, Finch Bolero – is really BL, not Body Odor (that’s how I remember it’s not BO), and Foxtrot is FT, not FX for Fox . . . and I think you get the picture. Thank you so much for helping out. The next date for your submission to the newsletter is January 31 with a planned release date of early February. Remember that, without you, there is no “news” in the newsletter.
Festival Reports
Centex By Tammy Lee The 31st Annual Centex festival was held in La Grange, TX on Oct 12-14, 2018. There were 89 paid attendees. Randy and Marie Preskitt were the featured clinicians. Randy and Marie taught their own fun Phase V Jive, “Why Did It Have To Be Me” and “Life Is A Slow Dance”, a pretty Phase IV Waltz by the Worlocks. Even the drizzly weather couldn’t put a “dampener” (pun intended) on the exciting atmosphere as friends came from all around the area and from other states to dance to old favorites and to newer material. The Sunday morning review was especially beneficial to reinforce the two new dances that were taught. Centex 2018 was bittersweet as we said goodbye and thanks to the Prows and Taylors who had organized the festival for 13 years. The baton was passed to Martha and Ed Koslosky and Tammy and Marvin Lee who will continue hosting the Centex Round Dance Festival along with the generous support and help from other cuers and dancers. Next year’s 32nd annual Centex festival will be October 11-13, 2019 and is already over 60% sold out. Rey and Sherry Garza are the featured clinicians in 2019.

Harvest Holiday Festival Dallas, Texas – November 23-25, 2018 By Christine Hixson The 58th Harvest Holiday Festival was held at the Sokol Hall in Dallas, Texas, over Thanksgiving weekend, November 23-25. The pre-festival activities held November 19-22 included evening dances Monday through Thursday, and daytime teaches, also called impromptus, during the day Tuesday through Thursday, were held at Swingtime Center in Fort Worth. The entire week of dancing activities were a great success, and our thanks to all who came to join in the fun. Thanksgiving week is always a great week of dancing in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, and we enjoy the opportunity to get together with our dancing friends, both locally and from all over the country. In addition to our Texas friends, we had attendees from Maryland, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Florida. This year the daytime pre-festival impromptu instructors and dances taught were as follows:
JL and Linda Pelton – A Dream of Yesteryear, 5+1+1 WZ, Pelton Ron and Marilou Webb – Can’t Help Falling In Love, 6 HCW, Webb Karen and Ed Gloodt – The Alligator Stroll, 4+2+3 WCS, Gloodt Chris Jopek/Steve Davis – 42nd Street 4 You, 4+2 QS, Rotscheid Jack and Sharie Kenny – Egyptian Lady, 6 RB, Kenny Christine and Theron Hixson – Warm and Willing, 5+1 WZ, Childers/Slotsve – Oldie 1995, HOF 2015 The official part of the Festival requiring registration is from Friday afternoon through Sunday noon. This year the clinicians were David Goss and Ulla Figwer. They did an excellent job of teaching their two newly-choreographed dances: Our Time, a beautiful Phase VI waltz, and Something Good, a fun Phase V+1 jive. Both dances were very well received by all the dancers, and we look forward to dancing them many times in the future. Next year, November 29-December 1, 2019, the Festival clinicians will be Randy and Marie Preskitt, and we’re looking forward to another successful Harvest Holiday Festival. Mark your calendar now and make plans to join us next Thanksgiving for fun, fellowship and dancing.

Kay and Bob Kurczewski – Liberty Hill, TX Contact email: [email protected] All we can say is that it has been one hectic of a late summer – early fall for us these past few months. The reporting date snuck up on us in September and we never submitted our teaches. We were busy making final plans for our tour to Europe towards the end of September. We were able to send a short message back to you, from Europe, but we did not have any of our teach information with us. We are including those teaches in this issue of the Newsletter. Our tour to Europe was just unbelievable. We had some of the most beautiful weather we have ever had on our tours. It was hard to believe that even leaving a week later than normal, we would be running around in short sleeve shirts. It was just beautiful weather. With the weather so nice we are going to push our luck and we are already working on doing this again next year. We are planning on leaving the tour on the 24th of September for 23 days. If any of you are interested in going on a great trip to Europe let us know and we can provide you the necessary information. We are now planning on our New Year’s Eve Dance with Randy Dougherty, Dan Clairmont on Squares, Plus with announced A2, and Kay on the Rounds. If you are interested in attending, please let us know so we can reserve your spot. We have been working figure clinics in Slow Two Step, Tango and just started a Jive Clinic with our different groups. We love figure clinics because we believe if you learn the figures, then all you need are the gimmicks (if there are any) and you can do dances.

Our round dance program will resume in January 2019. We are planning for a new group of beginners for February 2019. In Georgetown, Texas, the Shirts and Skirts Square and Round Dance Club, the club that we cue for on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of the month, will be losing their hall at the end of 2018. The building is going to be torn down and not replaced. The club is currently looking into several locations in Georgetown for a new place to dance (to be announced very soon). We wish everyone a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year !!!!

JL and Linda Pelton – Dallas, TX Contact email: [email protected] Not sure if activities will ever slow down. When I first wrote that remark we were are in the midst of Harvest Holiday pre-festival and festival. Festival is now past, but we are still busy. As you all know, when you are part of the organization that puts on a festival, it is always a lot of work by members and cuers. We usually need a few days to recover after Harvest. For all of you who assist or take on organizational roles and responsibilities – Thank you for all your hard work! We so much appreciate you.
Dance Arounds dances Tuesdays evenings – 7:15 to 9:15 p.m. – Plano, TX We’ve been mostly reviewing dances these past two months. With our crazy schedule and JL’s knee surgery and rehabilitation, it just made more sense not to stress the knee.
Cuando Me Cha, 5 CH, Preskitt
Beginning Waltz Lessons – Saturdays – 11:15 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. – Plano, TX It’s been a most interesting set of Waltz classes. With 15 couples signed up, 9 of them had no dance experience of any kind and were not square dancers. Many of them really wanted ballroom waltz to take out on the social ballroom dance floor, although we are converting some of them to “cued” dance moves. Consequently, we initially worked on amalgamations they could use wherever they might end up dancing. Here’s the dances they now can dance:

Dance taught at Pre-Festival, Harvest Holiday, November 19-22, 2018: During Harvest Holiday Pre-Festival, we taught our new Phase 5+1+1 Waltz, a Dream of Yesteryear. It has really wonderful music. We also introduced a ballroom figure, Progressive Chasse Right followed by a Back Lock Back. Think Turn Left Right Chasse BJO with an extra back step for the man (forward step for the lady). Then the next figure is Back, Back/Lock Back. The first “back” is the last step of the Progressive Chasse Right. The dancers had no trouble with the change in cue terms once they had the explanation, however, we have chosen to document that option in the cuesheet to match Roundalab preferred cue terms.
Ron and Pat Plouch – San Antonio, TX Contact email: [email protected] Happy Holidays! Thanksgiving is over and we now move into Christmas and New Years. We hope everyone had a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving holiday and will have the same at Christmas! Many of you have volunteered your time for the TSFSRD Festival, and we thank you. The festival can’t happen without the volunteer cuers and callers who donate there time. We’re looking forward to getting more information we can pass on to you and to seeing the dances that you want to cue. Hope to see you round, Ron and Pat
