SUBJECT: MIDNIGHT RODEO ANNOUNCEMENT
FROM: MARILYN MCNEAL, BoarsNestFarm@aol.com
As some of you already know. Jo Thompson's medical doctors have recommended she have a bone marrow transplant as soon as possible. She will begin to prepare for this treatment in October, and it will take a total of 4 months, which includes one month in the hospital. She will cancel all of her 2011 commitments to get well again. She is an amazing woman, and we feel confident the transplant will be a complete success, supported by the prayers and concerns of her own family and her "second family," the entire linedance community.
We encourage you to read her blog, posted with updates by her wonderful husband Tim at www.JoThompson.com. Her brother is a perfect match for this bone marrow transplant and will be her donor, Anna and Tim will also be in Houston with friends and family during the time when Jo must be within 30 minutes of the hospital for her daily checks.
We just arrived in Shanghai for Judy Chen's WOW Event and will have the pleasure of dancing and visiting with Jo. By the way, she looks great and speaks of the future with an extremely positive outlook. During this trip, Ray and I will decide on an alternate plan for our currently scheduled MIDNIGHT RODEO WINTER WORKSHOP with JO THOMPSON and RUBEN LUNA, to be held on January 21 & 22, 2011.
The 120+ dancers already registered for this event, will have the option of coming to the event with Ruben and the new instructors who will replace Jo this January or receive a full refund. There is no substition for Jo Thompson-Szymanski, so this event is going to be somewhat differerent, due to the reason for her absence. Before you make this decision, please watch this newsletter and individual email that will be sent to each of you already registered. We have a couple of ideas brewing and you may want to be a part of this experience! Also, with God's grace, Jo will be the star for our 2012 Midnight Rodeo Winter Workshop!
I am confident that we will receive some definite direction on how to proceed with the event, and will post it to this newsletter and our website after we talk again with Jo and others this week. We hope to offer you an acceptable alternative. We will notify everyone who has registered with an email from Shanghai.
Marilyn and Ray

SUBJECT: DANCES THIS WEEK
FROM: BIG DAVE
Hi all,
A fun day in Swindon last Sunday - Thanks to the gang for some great new dances ............. And to Shaz & Glen for a great late-night BBQ for the happy campers !! :-) .................. Craig taught a great new pop one called Box It Up (A 'Not Like That' sort of dance) - Dee & Shaz taught cool new smooth ones called Fall Apart & Sacred Places respectively - And Dan taught Rachael's great new West Coast one from Masters, Cyclone - All really well received ................ I enjoyed teaching Hot, Hot, Hot, a great bouncy pop one that my class are enjoying & seemed to go well too !! :-) - Thanks very much to everyone who came to dance with us - Cya next year :-)
It was a great beginner class this week - I was exited because I found a super new dance !! :-) - Just a cute dance to a great catchy Billy Currington track - Margaret Swift's Cheers - Love it & so did the class - A Star In Heaven & It's A Replay popular too from the last couple of weeks plus we did a bunch of classics too - My best feedback though is the one they were waiting to have another go at was Wonderland Waltz - They just love that one - The dance & the challenge of it !! :-) ..... Not for new beginners but this gang are well on the road to being Improvers & they can do it - Time to find some new AB's.
Revision in the main class - Great easier ones including Homeward Bound, I Run To You, Wonderland Waltz, Don't Give A Blank, I Won't Dance, Out & Jump, Dog-Gone Blues & Gypsy Rosa Li ......... Intermediate ones including Nightshift "The Marvin Dance", Drip Droppin, Make You Sweat, For The Lovers - A quick recap of Everything I Do too - We'll go back on Plan B, Pack Up & Can't Touch too next week.
Emotions with the late-birds.
Promised the Wednesday class revision - And for a while it was literally that !!!!! We forgot a power cable (I say 'we' but obviously I blamed Pauline lol) so whilst Pauline went back hope to get it I recapped Can't Touch, Gypsy Rosa Li, I Run To You, Drip Droppin & Nightshift .... Then I convinced them they might as well have a new one while we waited - And taught them Night Work (Which I could not do last week because I forgot the track !! Oh dear could not blame Pauline for that one !!!!) - Anyway with a power lead we then danced all these ..... And I have to say that Night Work, as I'd hoped, was a WOW dance - They loved it off the scale - An awesome mainstream pop dance .... We moved on to more recaps including Commander, Hot Hot Hot, Snap Your Fingers, In Love & Emotions (A quick go at Wonderland Waltz too).
With the late-birds it was a follow-up from our Newline workshop night last Thursday recapping Cyclone, Let Me C It & the classic Let Me Love You - I'm going to do Shaz's Sacred Places from new in the main class next week.
Both nights I wanted to try Dee's Fall Away which I loved from Swindon on Sunday but time beat us, so we'll do that one next week - Late Tuesday & early Wednesday.
Looking forward to this weekend in Port Talbot with Maggie & Alan ......... Also got two cool events coming up with Craig - Next weekend he's Sadiah's guest choreographer on Saturday night at Forest Hall club - A fun social night, where Craig will teach his great new one Box It Up .......... And then the following weekend at Craig's venue in Warrington on Saturday 18th, his annual all-day charity fund raising event with guests Dee, Shaz, Kim, Alan, Pat & Andrew/Shiela ....... Still places available on both of these so come along if you are local :-)
Cheers.
Dave

Everybody is talking about this dog!

NOTE FROM ME: I'm going to make Lola watch this video. I bet this dog knows you go outside to pee!! I did forget to tell you, though, that when she pees on the paper she has a FIT and barks and whines until it is picked up IMMEDIATELY. I'm buying her an outfit like this dog and maybe she can learn to merengue. LOL
