~~~~Wooly Bears Thursday Squares~~~~~
---- Flatfooting and Jam: 7:00PM ---- Dance: 8:30-11:00 ----
The Woolys are BACK and ready to attack with a whole new season of square dancing!
We have added a NEW FEATURE; every square dance will now start off with a flatfooting workshop! Show up right at 7, and learn how to do some fancy steppin. Try and wear some kind of shoes that can make some sort of tapping noise (NOT grippy rubber hiking soles).
If you'd rather jam than dance, bring your stringed instrument, and head to the upstairs jaming parlour from 7 till close!
Everyone can show up to hang out at 7:00, but the main square dance will start at 8:30. Come learn to dance and get yer blood movin - no experience or partner necessary! All of the dances are easy to learn and taught on-the-spot by the caller. Bring your friends, or come alone to make some new ones.
This dance is queer and trans friendly. Be any gender, dance with all genders.
You can ask anyone to dance, and you can say "no" to anyone for any reason. If someone rejects your dance invitation, please be gracious. If anyone is making you uncomfortable or harassing you, either talk to them directly, or go talk to the door volunteer or the Anza Club security guard (usually right outside the entrance door).
