We are planning a winter weekend get-away to Lake Geneva. The weekend is Friday, February 1 through Sunday, February 3, 2008. Many of us have been up there for summer and fall activities. We thought it would be fun to do a winter trip. The week of January 30 through February 3, 2008 is Lake Geneva’s annual Winterfest. Lake Geneva for the past several years has been chosen as the site for the National Snow Sculpting Competition. The judging is done on Saturday, February 2. Click on the link below for more information. If you are interested in joining us, contact Ray Dertz or Mike Dunphy.
13th Annual Winterfest and National Snow Sculpting Championships, Riviera Park, Lake Geneva. A one-of-a kind event! Activities include snow sculpting, music, children’s activities, helicopter rides, horse drawn carriage rides.
February 1 through February 3, 2008
Meltdown Sale and Catch The Snowflake Promotion, Downtown Shops, Lake Geneva.

One of our students writes…
Hi Pamm,
It was GREAT to see you last night.
Well …. ? What’s your thoughts? How was it? Will you be doing this again? Perhaps on a weekly basis?
Carl has the potential of attracting whole different crowd of students - dancers. I was surprised that there were not more of “Carl fans” there. But Carl’s Internet site was not user friendly to knowing of this dance opportunity. Carl would have to put a little effort in getting the word out. He should be doing emails and had started an electronic newsletter that hasn’t gotten regular.
Having it at 7:30 at 2LF can work for those who want to go to Frankie’s afterwards.
Note: Carl does not now support or encourage anyone’s attendance at Frankie’s. And this can be an issue of attracting intermediate swing dancers to a Wednesday night Carl class. There is some real warfare going on between Carl and Frankie’s that denies a natural synergism that should exist. Too bad!
Another issue with an evening Carl class is that it could compete with his Sunday classes. Myself, I would prefer an evening class. It seems that Carl’s Sunday classes attract slight more dedicated students.
IF you go forward with Carl on Wednesday nights, I suggest it be a basic- intermediate class (not a beginner). Of course, it could look like a line up of Carl’s Sunday classes (10am beginner, 11am basic, and 12pm Intermediate, 12pm practice session). Carl’s definition of basic swing (my words in his mouth) is someone with 3-6 months of previous beginner lessons.
It could be cool to have Wednesday lesson(s) and then followed by a practice session. Leaving open the opportunity to go to Frankie’s afterwards.

Any comments? Any other reaction to Carl’s class?

Every Wednesday this month, starting this evening at 7 pm, we will offer a Latin Dance workshop by Jed Walker. Tonight’s class is billed as beginner salsa, but many intermediate level dancers could benefit from it as well.On the 14th and 21st Jed will teach more salsa dance moves, and then on December 5th he will teach bachata. You can read about the workshops on Jed’s website here.
Each workshop is $35 for a three hour lesson from 7 to 10 pm. |

We are going to try changing up our Friday evening drop-in classes.
Tomorrow evening we will have salsa and romance-dance as before, but then next week salsa will rotate out, romance-dance will move up to 7:00 pm, and taking its place at 7:45 pm we will offer West Coast Swing .
Our plan is continue on like that, each Friday giving you a review of one dance from the previous week and introducing a new dance. You can see the schedule for the month of November here. Let us know if there is a particular dance you would like to see in the line up.
