Michael's calling Schedule for April

Just a reminder Michael will be calling at the following venues during April

2nd & 3rd April in Bundaberg
23rd April in Maryborough

anyone can attend these weekends however transport /accommodation will be at your own cost.

For more information please contact Michael.

Secret Bunny Night

On Friday 1st April & Monday 4th April we will be holding a Secret Bunny Night. To participate can you please each bring a small gift to the value of $5 along on those nights.

Secret Bunny is exactly like Secret Santa - we will put everyone's names in a hat and each person will be able to receive a small present from their Secret Bunny. We think this sounds like fun so please join in with us to celebrate Easter.

 Please note even the children should each bring a small gift , can be chocolate eggs or some other present but we don't want anyone to miss out.

Sewing Bee @ Mills Manor

For anyone going to the National Convention from Rockhampton we are in the process of making our dress set outfits. Michael and I have managed to arrange it so we will now have two dress sets in the convention! Such an awesome effort from everyone and we really need everyone to pull together on this one.

The design we picked is a little time consuming and we would appreciate if you can help in anyway please attend the sewing bee so we can get these outfits finalised sooner rather than later.

Thank you to all those who have already helped out we are well on our way to looking outstanding!

I will be announcing sewing bees as we can fit them in but by all means if you are capable of sewing and can take some outfits home to finish I would sincerely appreciate it.

Just a quick reminder we are now closed over Easter holidays to enjoy some much needed family time. There will be no dancing from 25th March to 28th March but we will be back after this.

Thank you for your understanding. Have an awesome Easter from our family to yours.

Movement List & Definitions

Here is a copy of the movement list and their definitions (ie how you do the movements)

For our newer dancers, you will need to look at the Basic & Mainstream List and Definitions. With many of you going to the National Convention in Buderim this year, it is important you know your movements. You should attend square dancing as much as you can so we can make sure you are at the level required.

Basic & Mainstream List

Basic & Mainstream Definitions

Just for a bit of fun here are the Plus list and definitions

Also once you have learnt the plus level you will venture onto the advanced level.
