June

Tuesday, June 9, 2026 we worked on reviewing the figures new dancers had learned and learning classic dances everyone should know.  We will work on one particular dance all month.  We talked about how some dances just flow from one figure to another and how some lead tunes tell you how the dance goes. We also tried out a new Sue dance. Figures reviewed were advance and retire, ladies' chain, half figure of 8, back to back, reels of 3, double triangles, half diagonal reels of 4, and the QT poussette.

1. Hello Neighbor 32J3
