Dance Ambassadors Needed
Would you enjoy being a "dance ambassador" to show people the type of dancing we do at our regular dances?
FOOTMAD has been asked to provide a dance demonstration for an Charleston Area Alliance event Thursday, March 19th from about 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm right before ArtWalk and in September for a Fund for the Arts event, both events in Charleston. We've also been invited for other events in May and July in the past, and could be asked again this year. We need at least 8 people in order to demonstrate a square and a contra dance. We plan to prepare a couple of simple dances ahead of time so that we are all familiar with the figures. We may also then invite audience members to join us on the dance floor. We hope to develop a roster of 12 to 16 people to call on for any given occasion. This is not a precision dance team. We would not wear special outfits. It will reflect the casual fun that we have dancing together. In December some of us met at the new dance studio in Kanawha City, Riverside Hop, to work on skills in dancing and calling. We envision meeting once a month (maybe more if needed to get ready for the first event). The space is ideal for this activity. If you are interested in joining us, our next meet up will be Thursday, January 30 (details below), please let Becky Park know. Questions? Call Becky Park at 304-729-4382, email kvfootmad@gmail.com or message on Facebook www.facebook.com/KVFOOTMAD/ Where: Riverside Hop dance studio 3706 MacCorkle Ave SE - see photo Parking is available after hours at Barrack's Auto When: Thursday, January 30, 6-8 pm Who: Any competent dancers interested in building skills and willing to become dance ambassadors
