Hello Dancers, The Dancers Year got off to a great start With a very succseeful New Years Eve Party at The West Liberty Community Center. Then things got slowed with Bad weather causing cancellation of our Valentines Sweetheart Dance on Feb 14th. To complicate things even more I developed health problems in February and the hospitalization and subsequent recovery made it necessary to Cancel one more Spring Dance date. Which brings us to the remainder of the year. We have some exciting things happening later this spring and summer. BENEFIT DANCE FOR "THE NEST OF JOHNSON COUNTY" MAY 2 AT THE EAGLES Starting off with a benefit dance for The "Nest of Johnson County". This will be held again this year at The Eagles Club in Iowa City on Friday evening May2 . This is a great cause ( helping New Mothers and their Babies get a good start) and DANCERS GROUP has sponsered this fund raising dance along with The Eagles Lodge for the last three years. All Dancers members are invited to attend as well as the general public by invitation only. WE are expecting a good crowd and I hope you Dancers will show up in good numbers to support the event as well as display to the public in attendence how much fun dancing is. THE D.Anthony Big Band will be providing Dance music all evening. This is going to be a GALA EVENT so don't be left out.

Get on the Nostalgia Express with d. anthonys' Swing Street Big Band. Get aboard for a night of Authentic Dance Music of the 20's, 30's 40's and 50's!!
According to D. Anthony Watters, the band's originator and leader, the 15-piece band will be performing a variety of traditional ballroom music for dancing and listening. "There are many people who like this type of music," said Watters. "In fact, I talk to more and more people who prefer to dance to traditional ballroom music. It is an art form that needs to be preserved. It is excellent entertainment, as well as good excercise that can help keep us fit. But, most important, it's just a lot of good, clean fun for people of all ages."
The big band will perform arrangements from the libraries of Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Woody Herman, Wayne King and many other famous bands of the 30s, 40s and early 50s. All styles of ballroom dance will be included.
