Judee Curtis In my opinion, things are not better than they were in March. We’ve had our ups and downs here in Arizona. Data changes daily, weekly, and monthly, so it’s very hard to plan ahead. On March 14, the day after we stopped dancing, I started planning what dances were going to be taught in…

Line Dancing with Judee
Judee Curtis What a different year for my 81st birthday and our 61st wedding anniversary. I’m hoping and praying it won’t be different in September when we are scheduled to restart our line dancing year. If people would understand it’s time to take responsibility and wear masks everywhere, we just might come out of this…

Judee Curtis “So many dances to teach and so little time.” I’ve said this many times, but I didn’t realize how true it was until March 13. It seems like forever since I last taught dances to the loyal dancers who stay in Arizona year-round. Plus, “Goodbyes” and “See you next January!” were not said…

Judee Curtis Touching bases with dancers through email has been a blessing. I’ve even gotten to wave at a couple of them! My husband and I have been “staying home” since March 14, but who’s counting? He did golf a few times after that date but decided on his own it would be best not…

Line Dancing with Judee
Judee Curtis Our Christmas Line Dance group was small, as there were family health issues and gatherings, going out of town, going “back home,” illnesses, injuries, you name it. But the dancers who came had a great time, did a good job, and we danced every dance on the list! We also decided that, next…

Judee Curtis Our fall session has had a fantastic start. Many new dancers joined us in the SunBird Ballroom for their Ultra Basic Class. The dance list is growing, because they know the steps and patterns that have been taught. “S&Ps” are the foundation for learning more dances that will be taught through December. They…

Line Dancing with Judee
Judee Curtis Having taught for 20+ years, I should feel really old. But as we are dancing new dances to new music, meeting new dancers, and reconnecting with the restarting dancers, that same feeling of looking forward to another great dancing year with a whole bunch of nice people tells me why I’ve taught all…

Line Dancing with Judee
Judee Curtis New Saying: “Time flies even when we aren’t dancing!” Completing registrations for new dancers has me excited, so I’m getting organized, learning new dances, getting the playlist ready, plus emailing the dancers: “Line Dancing with Judee restarts on Monday, September 9, in the SunBird Ballroom.” If you are new and want to join…

Line Dancing with Judee
If you are new and haven’t registered for classes restarting on Monday, September 9, in the SunBird Ballroom, now is the time! Summer’s almost over! However, we all know that statement is probably two months too soon! The blessing is we dance on the biggest dance floor in the area with A/C keeping us…

Line dancing with Judee
Dancing in June has given some year-round dancers the opportunity to move up a level. Taking advantage of the time and teaching one new dance a week has “eased” these dancers into that level vs. “jumping with both feet into the next full next hour”! This new plan has worked very well. We must thank…
