LINE DANCE Snowbirds are leaving, but remem- ber, the Line Dance Club goes year round and you don’t need a partner to line dance! The next beginner’s workshop meets Wednesdays for four weeks, May 7 through May 28 from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. at the Johnson Social Hall. Instructor Kort Kurdi teaches the fun- damentals of line dancing and the basic steps in this program. If you know the basic line dancing steps, we have classes every Wednes- day with a variety of dance levels. You might like our straight dancing (a “show and go,” no teach) class which meets from 12:30 to 2 p.m., or the Be- yond Basics class (a combination teaching and dancing class) which meets from 2:15 to 3:15. We also have an intermediate class meeting from 4:30 to 6 for those dancers who are comfortable with more creative dances and turns. All Wednesday classes meet at the Johnson Social Hall. In addition, we have an evening line dance the first Saturday of every month at Palm Ridge from 6:30 until 9:30. Before the dancing gets started, Instructor Kurdi teaches a dance from Pictured from left are Gerry Zopf, Lu Trinka, Pat Ouwehand, Gloria Tyler, Beth Noyes-Wilks, Jo Ann Carle, Peggy Parsons, Pat Telford, Shirley 6 to 6:30.
