It’s More Than Living... It’s A Lifestyle!

I Could Have Danced All Night (Make that 9 PM at SCOV)

by Marsha Dean

One of the benefits of living in an active adult community such as Sun City Oro Valley is that if you love to dance, you don't have to seek out a local nightclub to work on your moves. There are plenty of opportunities right here at home. The renovated Activity Center Auditorium has a new larger dance floor that is being enjoyed by several dance clubs. Club information can be found on page 24.

The Starlight Ballroom Club offers the chance to get on a dance floor and do swing, waltz, foxtrot, rumba, cha cha and tango dances. This fun SCOV club provides an opportunity to enjoy an evening out in a festive atmosphere with others who like to ballroom dance and socialize. Dance classes and ballroom dances are scheduled throughout the year. Practice sessions are every Wednesday evening at 5 pm. Dance lessons will be offered all summer.

In addition to a monthly dance, the club holds a New Year's Eve dance with live music: a great chance to dress up and show your footwork. www.scstarlightdanceclub.wixsite.com/scstarlightdance

If you don't have a dance partner, the Folk Dance Club may be for you. Most dances are traditional from around the world and are taught prior to dancing. The club website has links to videos for all the dances that they do. With no membership fees, no partners and no meetings, it's a great chance to get some exercise and have some low-stress fun. It’s also good for the brain and cardiovascular systems. New dancers are always welcomed and encouraged every Friday, 10-11:30 am, AFC/ Studios 1 & 2. www.scovFD.club

Line dancing with the Sunliners Club is popular with SCOV residents. No partner is required. With dances and classes for abilities ranging from beginner to intermediate, there's something for everyone. The Introduction to Line Dance class that is usually offered in January is a great time to try it out, but new people are welcome to attend a beginner class anytime. Classes are taught by professional dancers and practice sessions occur weekly. The club offers regular social and practice dance events. Visit the club website to learn more. www.scovsunliners.wixsite.com/sunliners

For all you baby boomers, the Rock 'n Roll Club may be just what you're looking for. The club holds a monthly dance with live music from October to May. Plan a great outfit for the Halloween dance which always includes a costume contest with prizes. www.scovrrc.org

Dust off your boots and join the Kactus Kickers for dancing to country and western music. The club offers dance lessons from mid-January to early March and a monthly dance with a live band, October-May.

Fun opportunities to dance without a partner and get a cardio workout are Zumba® and Aqua Zumba® classes that are offered by the Association. Our certified instructor, Lonnie Davis, guarantees that you'll have fun while getting a workout and moving to lively music. Zumba® mixes together Latin-inspired rhythms with easy-to-follow moves. The result? A fun and effective fitness class that feels more like a night out dancing.

Aqua Zumba® is water aerobics with a Latin flair. This workout is good for those who need low impact exercise. The Association-sponsored Zumba® classes require a $2 fee. Purchase a $20 ten-class punchcard online www. suncityorovalley. com > Fitness > Purchase Exercise Pass.

Whatever your interest is, there are many opportunities to dance all night at SCOV (or at least until 9 pm).

My name is Becky Vaughan, and my family and I moved back “home” to Oro Valley in late March. Most of my work experience has been in the office environment, beginning my career for a company in Pittsburgh, PA, in customer service and finishing as executive secretary. My experience includes project management, purchasing management, scheduling supervisor, accounts payable, and human resource assistant from small to international companies.

The SCOV Board approved a new palette of paint schemes to be used on the exterior of homes on March 28, 2023. Most of the Body Colors from the previous palette of 2015 were held over. The Trim Colors have changed in many cases and all of the Trim Colors are now limited to one color from a choice of two colors. You may also choose to have no Trim Color. In summary, you may paint your house just the Body Color or the Body Color and one Trim Color. The Security Door adjacent to the front entry door may be painted the Body Color, the Trim Color, Weathered Brown or one of the Southwest/Traditional Colors.

More choices have been added to the Southwest/Traditional Entry Door Colors, and you may now paint your front entry door one of these colors or paint your entry door and
