The older the fiddle the sweeter the tune! And the tunes were sweet indeed. We had a great time at the St. Patrick’s Day Dance with many thanks to The Shamrockers for their wonderful selection of Irish music.
Some folks came to dance, some to sing and some to sit and listen to jigs and reels; the music and craic were fantastic!
The auditorium was decked out for the occasion with lots of lepreuchans, clover leaves and green. Irish luck was there for Grace Enzinga, who won the door prize of tickets to the next dance. The 50/50 draw was won by Ann-Marie MacKenzie and she donated $50 back to the Centre.
The Bunny Hop on Easter Weekend
The Bunny Hop with Spindrift Street is the next dance. It will be held on Saturday, April 19th – a fun thing to do with visiting friends on Easter weekend. Come and enjoy the music and dancing. We have the best dance floor on the Sunshine Coast and people always comment on the inviting atmosphere at the dances.
Spindrift Street is composed of Garth Bowen on mandolin, fiddle and vocals, Randy Shepherd on bass and vocals, and Charlie Veaudry on guitar and vocals. They’ll be playing 3 sets of music that will surely have us hoppin’.
As always, many thanks to all the volunteers who help out with the dances. You’re the best!
Beginner Line Dance Workshop
Jay Alexov will be leading a beginners line dance workshop that was postponed from March. The new date is Saturday, May 3rd with the doors opening at 1:30pm and class starts at 2:00 pm. This class is intended for people who have never line danced and will be very slow paced. Tickets are available at the front desk or at Little Brit of Heaven. Line dancing is not only good exercise and fun but great for cognition.
