Doug Kauffman and Julie Dixon at Rainbow Squares on Saturday, 2018-11-03

Hello, friends!

The end of Daylight Saving Time is upon us. Clock time in most of the USA will jump backward one hour at 02:00 early Sunday morning, 2018-11-04. Many people react to that with a sentiment like "Woo hoo! One more hour of sleep!"

That's a good reason to come to Rainbow Squares on Saturday, 2018-11-03. Enjoy Doug Kauffman calling the squares and Julie Dixon cuing the rounds, knowing that extra slumber awaits you when you get home.

Saturday, 2018-11-03
7:30 pm to 08:00 pm: Pre-Rounds
8:00 pm to 10:30 pm: 2 x 2 Squares

Dan and Kathy Koft at Rainbow Squares on Saturday, 2018-10-06

Hello, friends!

The last time that the Kofts were scheduled at Rainbow Squares was 17 days before the Vernal Equinox (a.k.a. the start of spring) back in March. The encore will be 14 days after the Autumnal Equinox. Do some belated equinoctial celebrating at Rainbow Squares this Saturday with Dan Koft calling the squares and Kathy Koft cuing the rounds.

(I had to consult Wiktionary to find the adjective form of "equinox": I didn't know the word "equinoctial" before. Source: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/equinoctial )

Ralph Trout and John Toll at Rainbow Squares on Saturday, 2018-09-15

Hello, friends!

Join Rainbow Squares this Saturday for a some mid-September fun with Ralph Trout calling the squares and John Toll cuing the rounds.

This just in: we have reports that John Toll will be retiring from round dance cuing soon. This will be his last time cuing at Rainbow Squares. Join us as we wish him well FACE TO FACE: he may WALTZ AWAY in a TRAVELLING BOX with his possessions in SIDECAR POSITION; perhaps he'll make a POINT to MANEUVER later to get some time in NEW YORK, then PIVOT back home.

(Note: I don't really know cuing terms; I found a list of them at http://www.round-dance.de/Notation.html . The alternative was trying to come up with witty content using words like "cue ball", "cue bid", "cue card" -- it didn't work out. I did come across "cueca", a lively South American dance, which was a pleasing dance-related coincidence)

Graduation Dance at Rainbow Squares on Tuesday, 2018-08-28 (7pm)

Hello, friends!

Our students have completed the first part of their square dance journey: lessons. The journey began on February 06, 2018, with a free introductory class. Now it's time to celebrate their progress with a graduation dance.

Join us Tuesday, 2018-08-28 for the festivities. Help us usher the graduates into the next phase of the journey: attending dances.

Ralph Trout will be calling the squares.

Recent graduates are welcome!

In other news, the air conditioning is repaired. My usual phrasing about "climate-controlled comfort" is true again.
