Round Out Your Life

By Genie Parrill

September 2010

Well it is the start of a new year and a new group of people in charge of our activity.

I have had a very interesting and fun time doing the Foot notes Round Dancing articles for the last two years. I want to thank everyone involved in all the decision making and support of the Rounds of The Month. I have always liked to be able to use the Round Of The Month program as a reference for new dances that I may not have gotten to see or hear any other place.

Your new Round Dance Coordinator is Jill Spiese. She has been dancing since 1984 and cuing from 1989.She cues for two clubs on a regular basis. They are the Paws and Taws and Square Stepper, located in the Peninsula Council , and the Freewheelers in the Shoreline area (part time when Debbie is out of town. Her husband is a Square Dance Caller. They have been honored with the Parker award in 2005 for callers and recently received the McNutt award in 2009 for cuers.

A little personal info is that they have 3 children and 10 grandchildren, and 5 out of the group are square and round dancers.

I hope you give Jill as much or even more support than you have given me. Thanks again for letting me have the chance to experience being the Round Dance Coordinator.

The ROM for September 2010 is Oogie Woogie Boogie. Choreographed by John and Fran Downing. It is a Phase II + 2 Two Step.

The artist that did the music is Joanie Bartels. It can be downloaded off of various internet sites.
