POSTPONED The 12 hour dance at Canowindra on June 28th
Update from Diane 29th May
More news on coming back to dancing.
Our Intermediate class on Friday nights at the Canberra Seniors rooms is full.
Now we are seeing if there is enough interest for another class.
This would cover all the basics, so if you don't feel like you're ready for the Intermediate Class this one might be for you.
We will cover basic New Vogue, Sequence, Latin and Modern dances. So initially we will be doing a 2 hour class with a break for a cuppa at the half way point. At this stage we envisage it being on a Wednesday night.
So depending on the interest we plan to start on Wednesday 10th of June at Canberra Seniors rooms in Turner..

Update from the C.O.T.D.C. 30th March
"Due to the current health emergency, the COTDC Committee has decided to cancel our Ball Weekend in June. As it would have been our 40th Ball Weekend we are extra sad but feel we have no choice and need to let people know earlier rather than later. If the situation improves we may be able to celebrate our special birthday before Christmas. Hopefully 2021 will be a better year for everyone and we will all be back dancing our legs off."

News from Barry 30th March
I noted in my last newsletter that I had written three waltz tunes for the Downton Abbey Ball at Canowindra in October and had asked Scott Hayman from Temora if he could sequence a dance to suit the waltz tunes I sent him, He has finished the dance, I am just waiting for it to be videoed, I will then uploaded it to YouTube. I have called the dance DOWNTON ABBEY WALTZ. A big thank you, Scott, for all the time and exertion you put into sequencing this dance for me.
I have also uploaded the three waltz tunes I wrote to my website, where you can buy them. I named the waltz tunes after the characters in the Downton Abbey movie. Lady Mary Waltz, Princess Mary Waltz and Violet Crawley Waltz.
