Footnotes Established 1983 April 2013 Indianapolis, IN

President’s Corner

March was certainly a party month for Indy Dancers!! First, we celebrated St. Patrick’s Day by learning a few Irish dance steps and watching real Irish dancers. It was so much fun!!

However, our 30th Anniversary dance was the party of all parties!! The IUPUI Swing Cats (See their note below.), Harriett Fishburn and her group, Roger and Amy, and Scott and Yulia stole the show with their spotlight dances. And with the fabulous dance music put together by four of our DJs, everyone stayed on the dance floor until the very last dance. It was so much fun and a night to remem-ber!! Make sure you catch the pictures in the news-letter and see many more at www.IndyDancers.com!

I also want to thank the following dance clubs that came to help us celebrate: • Camelot Dance Club • Dance Factor • Friends of the Anderson Paramount Theater • Continental Dance Club • Heartland Ballroom Dancers • Irvington Dance Club

But that’s not the end of our partying! Pull out your poodle skirts and slick back your hair for our “Grease” party April 20! You can also watch the movie during the dance!! Plus, we will serve coney dogs and chips – all for the admission price!! What a deal! You don’t want to miss it!

In Indiana, May is race month and that gives us another reason to party! So, wear your shorts and sunglasses, put on your sunscreen and crazy race day hats and join us for a Snake Pit party May 21. Stay tuned for more details.

Also, it’s time to think about renewing your member-ship. With all this fun, you don’t want to miss all the fun activities in the coming year. So, renew soon to keep current on all the Indy Dancers parties!

As always if you have any questions, please let me know!

See you on the dance floor!

Rhonda

NOTE FROM IUPUI SWING CATS

Dear Indy Dancers,

We just all wanted to express our gratitude again for inviting us to your wonderful event and letting us show our routine. We all had an absolute blast! It was so fun to see some of our members who also know ballroom get to social dance in that genre. Definitely got me thinking about trying my hand at branching out to more dances. Thanks again!!!
