March

A majestic March

March 2015

After the unfortunate cancellation of our Valentine's Day dance due to this winter's relentless snow, we were thrilled to be back on the dance floor. The music of Cardinal Direction (formerly known as Firefly) was complemented by the calling of David Kaynor, rousing everyone from their seasonal doldrums with some fantastic music and dances. We briefly put our feet on pause at 9:26 PM to celebrate a once-in-a-century Pi Day, followed by an intermission that featured key lime ?.

Thank you to everyone who came out! We'll see you again in April. To receive a reminder, sign up for our email list or join our Facebook group!

A magnificent March

Thank you to everyone who came to our March dance! With many of the local colleges on spring break, students were eager to release the stress from recent midterms and finals by hitting the dance floor. The music of Agnostic Fiddle Insurgency was paired with calling by Don Heinold, marking his Worcester debut. The two fit like hand in glove, knowing just when to kick it up a notch to keep the dancers moving.

The half-time break featured an assortment of treats, including grapes, Girl Scout cookies, Crown Bakery goodies, and "blondie Snickerdoodles". Thank you to those who contributed to this banquet!

Have a good spring break, everyone, and see you on April 12 for our next dance. Want to receive an email reminder? Join our email list!

A marvelous March

If you are ever in need of a remedy for jetlag, I recommend the music of Dueling Whiskey Factory. My body was still on Barcelona time when I showed up to this past Saturday's dance, so they had me dancing flat out until what my body thought was 5 AM. Rachel Shapiro's calling was excellent, particularly in providing strong (and reassuring) guidance for a larger-than-usual turnout of new dancers, and particularly of kids, which is always great to see. Also, props to the new dancers — by the end of the evening, you were doing some pretty challenging stuff. And it was nice to see a contingent from Heifer Project in Rutland, one of the gems of Central Massachusetts!
