Many of the dancers munched on an apple while twirling and chaining to Abe's calls--all for another dangle!

Ar-Dale Dancers

October 11, 2015 – Ar-Dale Dancers, White Bear Lake

Roger McNeil called our October “Crazy Hat” dance and Ken Labau cued rounds.  Roger had quite the menagerie of hats that he wore to match the songs he sang.  Thanks Roger for a fun dance!  Royalty in attendance were Barry and  Jennifer Downs from Spares and Pairs, Kay Duffy from South Metro Stars, Debbie Quant from Westonka Whirlers and our own Bonnie Eidman. Banners were given out to Westonka Whirlers and Dakota Grand Squares.

We started lessons a few weeks ago and they are going well.  We have 5 or 6 who seem to be consistent in coming, so we are excited to continue with lessons after a couple years of not having them.

We are missing Doris Sunheim who is recovering from a fall in which she broke her leg and clavicle.  She is doing well after a hip replacement and is recovering at her son’s in Wisconsin.

We hope to see you in a square at our November dance with Lanny Weakland!
