WRC this week!
Hi team!
We're definitely on for the audition on Tuesday! So far I have: Karen, Jess, Shelley, Cindy, Jillian, Sean, Kelsey, and Judy. We're going to start with Hit Me and then go into the circle part of Banjo Boy. We'll wear our pink shirts and black pants. (Yes, pants.) :) Also please make sure your shoes are nice and clean. :)
We're on right at 4 PM and the address is 681 - 17th Ave NE Suite 202 in Minneapolis. Mapquest says its 24 minutes from my parents house and it's 35W north to the downtown exits. Take the 5th Ave exit and turn left on Washington. Then right on 3rd Ave and left on 7th St NE. 7th becomes Monroe and then go left on 17th Ave NE. If anyone knows this area please let me know if this seems right to you. (I don't trust Mapquest.)
The rest of the week is class as usual. 8 PM at Pat Peare on Tuesday and 8 PM at Janie's on Thursday. We're still working on "I Don't Dance". Please start working on your costumes and make sure you're registered for the workshop. Prices go up tomorrow!
Thanks everyone! And awesome job today for those who woke up early and made it to the Lake Harriett show! Yay us! :D
TTFN!

WRC Breaking News!
Guess what????
I received a phone call this morning from a casting agent. They are looking for cloggers to dance in a MN State Lottery commercial!!!!
The audition will be held next Tuesday, October 2nd at 4 PM in Minneapolis. Callbacks are Friday, October 5th. And the commercial would shoot October 9th and 10th (Tuesday and Wednesday).
I'm thinking we should do Hit Me, but if those of you who don't know Hit Me are interested, I was thinking of doing a Hit Me/Cry of the Celts mix. Or what do you think? I'm open to ideas of whatever you think are our best dances!
Please comment below ASAP to let me know if you're available and what dance(s) you think we should do! :)
Other things (unrelated) to mention:
- Remember beginner classes start Monday! 7 PM at Sky Oaks in Burnsville.
- We have been working on "I Don't Dance" specifically to perform it at the Halloween Workshop in St. Paul on October 19-20. If you haven't already done so, please register for the workshop before October 1. We will be wearing baseball costumes for this dance - so start shopping. Also - I have reserved a room at the host hotel in Eagan that Friday night for a WRC party/sleepover. There are enough beds for five people - everyone else will need to bring a sleeping bag. If you want to come party and not spend the night that is of course fine too! :)
- The weekend of October 12-13 there is a workshop in Whitewater, WI that I will be teaching at. I'd love some or all of you to come with!
Please let me know what questions you have about all of this! TTFN! :)

WRC this week!
Hi team!
This week is the same as last week (can you believe it?!). :) We will dance at 8 PM at Pat Peare on Tuesday and 8 PM at Janie's on Thursday. We'll be working on "I Don't Dance" both nights.
Please see the entry below regarding the Lake Harriet show. We will be practicing for that this week as well, assuming we have enough dancers to do it. I need to call her tomorrow so please respond to that ASAP if you have not already done so.
Moment of the week: Ashley's invention of the american swiss burger. :D That might just beat Laura's mcchicken order....
TTFN!

WRC this week....
Hi team!
Tuesday class will be at 8 PM at Pat Peare and Thursday class will be at 8 PM in Janie's basement. (Thanks Janie!) :) We will be working on "I Don't Dance" both nights (see the community page for the latest cue sheet).
I'm working on getting us a new Thursday space (so we don't have to invade Janie's house for very long) and will keep you posted.
TTFN!

WRC this week!
Hi team!
Thanks to everyone who did one, two, or all three shows yesterday! They were all so great! :) And now we get a break until the 30th!
I just put the state fair pics up, so go check those out!
This week Tuesday we'll start at 7:45 and will review a few of those advanced steps and start learning the routine that we'll be performing at the Halloween Workshop. Friday (I know, I'm sorry!) we'll start at 6 with some steps and the Halloween Workshop song as well.
We also need to talk about this new schedule to see what we can do about it. If you can't make it this week, please let me know ASAP.
And remember beginner classes are starting October 1! I'll post the link for registration this week! Tell your friends! :)
TTFN!

Update:
Hi team!
I really appreciate all the discussion that's going on regarding our schedule! I don't believe we have everything figured yet, but here is the plan for now:
Tonight: no practice.
Tuesday (starting 9/11): adult practice at 7:45.
Friday (starting (9/14): kids practice at 6.
I know that no one wants to have practice on a Friday night, but we'll do it early and be done early. All of this is only temporary until we figure things out so please please please come to your regular practice even though it may not be convenient for you. :) We'll discuss it more in person next week.
Now for Saturday! The shows at St. Boni's are at 12:15 (wear blue) and 3 (wear pink). The Inver Grove Heights Days show (wear pink) is at 8:30. Please arrive 30 minutes prior to the start of each show.
Getting there:
- St. Boni's is at 90th and 10th in Bloomington. Take 35W to 90th and go east.
- IGH Days is held on the corner of 80th and Cahill in Inver Grove Heights. Take Hwy. 52 south from 494 to Concord and turn right. Go left on 80th and park near the McDonalds. You will actually drive right past my house to get here - if anyone wants to kill time between shows at my place that's absolutely fine. :) Just let me know!
Here is who I have signed up so please let me know ASAP if you can join us as well. I would really love to have more dancers for St. Boni's (this is kind of a big deal). :)
12:15 show: Jess, Laura, Ashley, Michelle, Cindy, Patty, Karen, Shelley.
3 PM show: Jess, Laura, Ashley, Michelle, Cindy, Patty, Kelsey, Shelley.
8 PM show: Laura, Ashley, Michelle, Patty, Karen, Kelsey, Shelley, Andrea, Sean, Lynda, Libby.
Thanks to everyone for your patience with all this and I'll see you Saturday! :)

GREAT job on all the fair shows everyone!!!! Yay us! Just one more to go! :) And thank you so much to everyone who is helping with setting up and taking down the equipment. I really appreciate that!
This week Tuesday and Thursday we'll review for the first 45 minutes. After that we'll start working on advanced steps. On Tuesday we'll work on basic buck, canadian, irish, and a few steps. On Thursday we'll do pull-backs and crimp rolls and more steps.
This Saturday we have two shows at the St. Boniventure (sp?) church festival at 12:30 and 3 PM. And a show at 8 PM for Inver Grove Heights Days. More info is to come, but please sign up below to let me know if you can or cannot come.
This has been a really great summer of shows and I'm so proud of you all! And so happy to be your "leader"! :D
