Square dance lessons canceled for Friday
Virginia Klepper with the Hoisington Swinging Stars Square Dance Club announced some changes in fall square dance lessons. There will be no lesson this Friday. The next lesson will be Oct. 15 with the caller Al Braun from Hays. Lessons are taught in the Burnside Room of the Carl Soden Recreation Center, 1214 Stone St., Great Bend.
Classes are sponsored by the Great Bend Recreation Commission and the Swinging Stars club.
"Changes in dates and callers are due to busy caller schedules, but through Al Braun’s generosity of time and talents, lessons will continue through October and November (except Thanksgiving), with a holiday party dance Dec. 3," Klepper said.
Lessons are available for singles and couples, and openings are still available. "For someone who has never square danced before, this is an easy aerobic activity and anyone is free to join the group for a trial session with no obligation to continue." It is also a good refresher course for former dancers, she said. For more information call Klepper at 620-792-6068.
