Sunnyvale Squares Nov. 30

This post is arriving a little bit late due to me being sick with a monster cold this past week and it’s still with me. We are back after a two week break for the Thanksgiving holiday, missing one week of dancing since Thanksgiving lands on a Thursday. We had a fun dance evening on Thursday with our caller Jim and worked on some figures from interesting positions like zoom for just the centres. We even got started on some practice doing the Running Bear dance preparing for the annual hoedown which is coming up right at the beginning of the new year. For round dancing, it was the same as usual, but me sounding really bass-y and raspy due to my cold. Here are the dances we danced during the evening.

See you next week – hopefully without the cold! It’ll be December then and Christmastime’s a-comin’, so look for some festive favourites as we get closer to the big day.

Oh, during the announcements on Thursday, it was announced that the annual Thanksgiving Toy dance for the Salvation Army brought in 209 toys for needy kids and $5,579 was raised to help out needy families with more toys, food and making Christmas bright for everyone. Here’s the bunch of toys along with the callers for the evening – Tork Clark and Roger Smith.
