These two months offer you several opportunities for you to dance and socialize with other club members just for the fun of it! For example, plan to attend Symphony on the Prairie to hear Big Bad Voodoo Daddy on Sept. 8. Bring your cooler with food, a lawn chair and some shoes for dancing to some great swing music. But don t forget to sign up by Aug. 7 so we can get discount tickets. See page 6 for details. Also, plan to join us at the Indiana State Fair on Aug. 11 as we dance for the fun of it. This annual event is not only fun for participants, but provides an excellent way to show the public what we are about. See page 5 for more information. Mark your calendar for Saturday, Sept. 1, when we take a road trip to Mike s Dance Barn in Nashville, Indiana. If you went the last time, you know what fun is in store! If you haven t been there, you are in for a real treat. First, the dance floor is probably the best of all our venues. It s beautiful! Second, you will enjoy ballroom dancing to some great tunes by the Twilite Nites dance orchestra. Hear audio samples at www.twilitenites.com Last, go hungry because Mike is planning to offer some really good home-cooked food for a price you can t beat. Trust me, Mike cooks it himself and he s an excellent chef! See page 5 for car pool information. Keep this newsletter close by because you don t want to miss out on all the fun! Have fun and see you on the dance floor!! Rhonda Bennett Summertime in Indianapolis means lots of festivals and outdoor concerts. Whether it s Carmel Fest, concerts at Greenwood Park Mall or Concerts on the Canal, you will probably run into members of Indy Dancers. I even spotted some Indy Dancers participating in a Civil War ball!! How cool is that? Good music, a dance area and a party atmosphere always attracts members of our club because we love to dance and love to have fun.
