Delicious friends,

    Lots of juicy dancing in February!

    Mark and I will continue Salsa 1.5 Thursday nights, 7 - 8 pm, and Sid Lewis will continue Tango Thursdays 8 -9 , at the Blue Sage in Poania.

 Salsa is drop-in, though we encourage you to come every week, and
Tango is a 3 class session.

February class dates are:  7, 21, and 28.

On Valentine's Day, join us at KVNF's Community Room, 7 - 9 pm, for a short and sweet, absolutely FREE, no-partner-needed variety dance!  Bring a few tunes to share, MP3 format.  Sweetness!

And the Beatles are coming our way!  Our monthly social dance, Swingin' at the Sage, will combine with the Blue Sage for a totally fun evening of all your favorite Beatles songs!  

Dr. Roberts, a Beatles tribute band, will play for us on Saturday, February 23rd.

Tickets:  only $8 in advance, $10 day of show!

And you say, if only I knew how to dance all kinds of cool Swing moves,

I'd be ready to combine it with my free Rock ' n Roll dancing at this event!

Never fear, for early that day we offer you...

Swing 1.5 dance Playshop! 

 Known as "East Coast", or 6 count Swing, we'll give you some new moves and sassy combinations, 

so you are ready to roll!  

Saturday February 23rd, 1 - 3:30, $15 - or 2 punches on your 

Delicious Dance punchcard, such a deal!

Note:  if you're brand new to Swing, let us give you a starter lesson before the Playshop; contact me and we'll make it happen.

Last but not least, visit La Puerta in Grand Junction on Friday 15th, to check out the dance scene there.  These folks have a weekly social dance in a big old dance hall, - join us there and meet them!  Interested?  Let us know.

    Happy dancing!  xox Margot and Mark

We're Optimistic Paonians!

One of our dance friends gave me this quote:

"Optimist:  someone who figures that taking a step backward after taking a step forward is not a disaster.  It's the Cha Cha."

Thanks to everyone who has blessed us with their support, friendship and faith in our big move.   We could say that our hearts are forever split now, between Seattle and Paonia (and a few other places, too), or we can say that our hearts grow wider every day.

Dance on!  xox Margot and Mark
