Relevant issues are Holiday wreaths laid by club members at the Veterans Cemetery covered by email and during monthly meetings. Our current membership is over 265 veterans.

Folk Dance Pres. Siva Raven 505-469-7505 sivaraven@gmail.com Fri., 10-11:30 AM, AFC/Studios 1 & 2 www.scovFD.club
Folk dancers brought visiting family along to join us during the holidays. Here we are dancing a flamenco style dance, Seguidillas, from Spain
Folk dancing is a wonderful way to exercise both your body and mind while socializing in the company of a warm and welcoming group. We encourage everyone who is fully vaccinated and boostered to join us–no experience, no partners required–to tour the world in music and dance. We review each dance prior to dancing, keeping in mind that the only mistake you can make is not having fun. Bonus: no meetings, no minutes, no dues; just dance, dance, dance. There is even a club website which lists each week’s dances along with a video link to each dance for those who like to watch or review dances at home.
Please give it a try. Questions? Come and see. Check out the website or call Raven.

Aloha, dancers. Since the Dance Studio will be used by the SCOV Variety Theatre Club for their Big Guns show rehearsals through March, our regular class will not be meeting.
I’m happy to meet up anytime for feedback or further info, brunch or lunch at The Views. Also, for a bit more info and involvement, consider joining the SCOV Variety Theatre Club. Remember, ”There’s no business like show business!”

Due to Covid concerns and results of the member survey, the board has decided not to hold a dance in February.
We are tentatively planning an outdoor dance in March, here at SCOV. Look for an upcoming email regarding time, date and location.
Until then, stay safe and healthy.
