It’s never too hot for dancing!

The marvelous Dolan Maples (He’s a Ladies’ Man) just called and reminded me I hadn’t yet put a post on our site about this weekend’s Sunday Night Dance Party. Come join us Sunday, July 25 at 7 p.m. at the Howard Community Club for an evening of casual dancing. Admission is $5 and [...]

Sunday Night Dance Party: “Our Triumphant Return” Edition

So it turns out that this month, the 4th Sunday is the same day we will return from the Gumbo Championships in Baton Rouge.  We’ll get off the plane at 1:20 p.m. and head back to Macon just in time to set up for our dance. Since we will have tales to tell and, hopefully, [...]

Awesome Sunday Night Dance Party!

Not that each month’s SNDP isn’t awesome, but this past Sunday’s was particularly good.  We had a better-than-usual turnout including some new people (yay!), everyone danced nonstop throughout the evening (yay!), and Daniel fired up his karaoke program to serenade us with Charles Aznavour’s “For Me Formidable.” Maybe the new paint job at the Howard [...]

SNDP: Special Edition

Daniel and I will be at the High Point Classic Dancesport Championships this weekend, so we are leaving the Sunday Night Dance Party in the capable hands of Joyce Newman (local tanguera and owner of many a fabulous shoe) and John Herren (USA Dance Greater Macon Chapter 6059 president).  The dance will proceed as usual; [...]

Tango and waltz workshops coming soon

Clint Rauscher of Tango Evolution, assisted by our own Joyce Newman, will be teaching two Argentine Tango workshops in Macon on September 20 and October 18, with plans for a regular third Sunday workshop if turnout is good for those two dates. Each workshop will be 2 hours followed by a one-hour “practica” (practice [...]

Poll: Fall Workshop Ideas

At last night’s dance we floated the idea of offering a workshop in conjunction with one of our upcoming dances, probably in early fall.  We want to get some feedback about what people are interested in.  We are considering offering 2 or 3 one-hour workshop sessions in the afternoon, followed by a dinner break, and [...]

Sunday Night Dance Parties, recent and future

Thanks to everyone who braved the heat in order to attend, last night was another successful Sunday Night Dance Party.  We heard and appreciated some very kind compliments about our musical selections and discussed some great ideas for future Sunday night events.  Here are some pictures from last night:

SNDP: “Sweating is good for you” edition

Summer has begun and it’s already turning out to be a hot one.  We can’t promise that you’ll feel cooler if you come to this month’s Sunday Night Dance Party–except in the sense that dancing is a very cool thing to do.  Join us from 6:30 to 9:30 this Sunday, June 28 at the Howard [...]

SNDP: Staycation Edition

If, like me, you avoid holiday travel, you are probably planning to celebrate Memorial Day–the traditional beginning of summer–by staying home.  For ourselves and everyone else who isn’t traveling, we are hosting this month’s Sunday Night Dance Party on May 24, the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend, at the Howard Community Club.  We’ll start at [...]

Another great Sunday Night Dance Party!

Big thanks to everyone who came out for our second Sunday Night Dance Party last night at the Howard Community Center.  A good time was had by all, as they say.  Daniel’s dance contest was the highlight of the evening.  He lined up the men and women facing each other without telling them what they’d [...]
