Rainbow Squares reminder: Class #04 on Tuesday, 2019-02-26

Hello, Rainbow members and students!

Come out to class #04 on Tuesday, 2019-02-26 (7pm to 9pm) to review the material covered in the three introductory sessions and maybe move on to some new calls.

Location:

I am putting together some class resources on the club's experimental web site.

The main class page:
https://rainbowsquares.club/blog/class-information/

It has general class information and some links to external resources:
-- Video demonstrations of square dance calls
-- The Taminations web site: definitions and animations of calls
-- The Taminations app: get the definitions and animations onto your phone or tablet, ready to view even without an internet connection

The class page specific to this session:
https://rainbowsquares.club/blog/class-2019-02

It has a grid where the rows are names of square dance calls and each week of classes has a column.

I am open to suggestions for ways to improve the pages.

Rainbow Squares: Class progress report for 2018-11-06; class termination + start over in 2019

Hello, friends.

The square dance class on Tuesday, 2018-11-06, was attended by graduates only. Instructor Ralph Trout turned the evening into a dance for experienced people, stopping occasionally to workshop the calls that caused problems.

Changes to work schedules have prevented our new students from attending lessons on Tuesdays. The club has decided to end the classes for now. We will start a new batch of classes early in 2019 with an open house on Saturday, 2019-01-26 and introductory lessons starting Tuesday, 2019-02-05.

Meanwhile, the dance + workshop format worked so well that the club decided to continue it for two more Tuesdays (2018-11-13 and 2018-11-20). This is a bargain at $5 per person per night.

There will be a separate email to a wider distribution announcing the suspension of classes for now, the two special Tuesday dances and the new 2019 classes.

Here is the list of calls workshopped on Tuesday:

Load the Boat
Track 2
Do Paso
Teacup Chain
Explode the Wave
Explode and Anything
Linear Cycle
Relay the Deucey
Partner Tag
Follow your Neighbor (with and without spread)
