Wow! What a busy month for us! The Silver Fox Squares would like to thank everyone who attended our most recent dance, the Sombrero/Crazy Hat Dangle Dance. Our callers were Ken ‘Silver Fox’ Perez and Shane ‘Little Bear’ Perez. We were thrilled to see so many people come with so many different hats.
Many of the dancers also ordered dangles which have arrived and can be picked up on a club night. We dance every Friday night at the Bradford County Senior Center in Starke.
If you didn’t get to make it for this past dance please be sure to mark your calendars for June 9th for our upcoming Chili Dog Dangle Dance and July 21st for our Red, White, & Blue Dance.

May 2017 Club Updates: Clay Allemanders

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog1 Comment

Club updates from the Clay Allemanders in Middleburg. Shane is the caller and Ken is the co-caller.

Greetings from Clay Allemanders!

We have some exciting new news.  Clay Allemanders will be moving to a new Home Dance Hall. 

Our first Dance in the New Hall will be next Monday, May 22.

The Location: Middleburg United Methodist Church Family Center Building,
                               Address: 3925 Main Street Middleburg.

Directions are very easy:  Come down Blanding Blvd. until you see the Wells Fargo Bank on the left side of Blanding. Make a left turn on Palmetto Road, just before passing the Bank.  There is a traffic light there.  Go on down Palmetto until you t-bone to the intersection of Main Street.  Make a right turn.  Look on your left, you will spot the Middleburg United Methodist Church.  The first building to the complex is the Family Life Center.  That’s our new Hall!  It is the largest building, set back off the Street with parking directly in front.  Park there, and come on in the main door.

Many of you may remember this Hall from the recent past. NEFSARDA, along with Clay Allemanders and several other Clubs sponsored a very successful Fifth Saturday Dance there.  We love our new Hall… as it has a very large dance floor, great acoustics, nice stage, full size kitchen, easy parking in a wonderful old historic neighborhood (the original downtown Middleburg)

We are excited to grow our Club as we now are moving ahead with our new callers, Shane Perez, and co-caller, Shane’s Dad, Ken Perez…..And now….our new greatly improved Home Dance Hall!

There will be more Fun Events being scheduled for the summer in our new Hall, but…. we will be DARK, May 29th, Memorial Day.  Stay-Tune for more “invite” announcements on fun dances coming up in June and July!

Please know you are all invited to come visit and dance with us this next Monday, May 22  as we celebrate our First Dance in the Middleburg United Methodist Church Hall. Our Classes are in progress and run from 7PM to 8PM.  Our Club Dance commences at 8 PM and goes through to 9:30 PM.
