Sept 5~~ Happy Labor Day! Did you enjoy a relaxing rest from your labors in our sweltering seaside summer's-end today? The kind of day that REQUIRES jumping in the ocean... so I did, for an extra-long swim (felt go-o-o-o-od) skimming over the bunches of growing kelp, under soaring cormorants and gulls. A big resident sea lion popped his head up about 30 feet from me, surveying, (and accepting?) us swimmers invading his territory. Likewise, this week I, the resident "sea lion" of Santa Cruz social dancing, invite you to -- bounce & bob on Rock n'Roll waves of Swing dance -- float around the room to undulating waves of waltz music both online and in-person. Start with a Teeny Toe dip -- join us online for Solo Waltz & Swing Technique lesson Follow-the-teacher as a solo "line dance" then build on those skills even more when you join us for in-person partner dancing. STEP into your happy September THIS week. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
