SCOOTER LEE - DANCING FOR THE DREAM

So exhilarating to watch my students on the dance floor with a big crowd of dancers - and see them excel! So fun to witness such excitement and sense of accomplishment! So very proud of each one of you!!!

We attended the “Dancing For The Dream” Bootscooter Line Dance Camp today with Scooter Lee, Jo Thompson Szymanski, Frank Trace, and deejay Lee Conwell at the Siesta Bay RV Resort in Ft. Myers today. I had students from my Absolute Beginner Class (Laura, Maria, John, Sally, & Brad), my Beginner class (Mary Jo & Shirley), and my Improver/Intermediate class (Linda). Other students from my Imp/Int class (Karen, Connie, and Cindy) were also there - as were students from Chris’ class (Louise, Yvonne, Joann)! There were lots of other familiar faces as well - fun to see everyone there!

The beginners learned dances like “Little Cupid” by Frank Trace and “Cut A Rug” by Jo Thompson Szymanski (which they had already learned) and “Swinging Thing” by Jo Thompson and the “Cowboy Charleston” by Jeanette Hall & Tonya Miller. These dances were paired with other teaches today including “It’s Time To Swing” by John Robinson & Jo Thompson Szymanski, “I Ain’t Never” by Michael Barr, Michele Burton, & Jo Thompson Szymanski, “Codigo” by Pat Stott, and “Until The Dawn” by Gary Lafferty. Plus we warmed up in the morning, and again after lunch, with a little dance called “Good Morning” by Jo and Machelle Cook Holloway.

Great dance day!
