YEAR-END & XMAS “PIRATE” PARTY – Mon 16th Dec 4:30-6:15pm

Posted on December 21, 2024December 21, 2024 By Dance Therapy Group No Comments on YEAR-END & XMAS “PIRATE” PARTY – Mon 16th Dec 4:30-6:15pm
Hi Larrissa and my fellow dancers

I could do either Monday 13th or 20th January and would like to come. Thank you for the invite.
Also, thank you Raul for organising our dancing group. It was just what I needed at the perfect time. Since I gave netball away I was a bit lost, but I have always loved to dance. You have all been so welcoming and Monday nights are a lot of fun. Thanks to Adrienne, who asked me along.  
See you all soon on the dance floor
Lisbeth

Peg thank you for your answer  it will only happen if I can get other people involved   At least  8 people     To agree on  I shouldn’t date even the 14th or the 20th. I think it is so if you can let me know which one so I can work out how many people get back to me with the date. Thank you Pet for also answering my email. That means a lot to me Larrissa.

Hello everyone  I was just thinking  everyone one mostly on Christmas holidays  and I thought everyone would probably come back to Work seventh 14th of January so I was thinking if everyone can that even the first Monday or the second Monday we all meet at the hall and then go down to the Mandalay and maybe we have a picnic dinner like a barbecue or something down thereand maybe take some music and we can do some dancing so let me know what you think and I’ll work around it

Yes its good fun and great to see the kids out with oldies, like me. Good for us all. Great to see the kids having a laugh and Banjo getting on the floor and occasionally jiggling to the music. Ill keep prompting him to dance 🙂

Merry Christmas to all of you.

Thanks so much to Raul for his efforts and great moves

Definitely want to second that! Thanks everyone for being so kind and lovely – thanks Tina for asking me to come along plus to Raul for his hard work and dedication; apologies I
had to leave early too! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all! Please take care this festive season, drive safely and look after your loved ones and neighbours who need a hand. I look forward to seeing you all in 2025! 

With love, Max 🙂

Hello All:

 

It was a very hot evening but that does not stop us from having a great time! 

 

We almost had a full house, with 22 of us present at the party: Alison, Clancy, Dan, Banjo, Wren, Helen, James, Jayne, Kathy, Lou, Larrissa, Lisbeth, Marge, Max, Melva, Michael,
Pam, Peg, Suzi, Teresa, Tina and Raul. 

 

The party started with lots of chatting and eating, there were many delicious dishes to share, thanks everyone! After that, I had a short formal presentation about our achievements
of 2024. I've attached the presentation to this email.

 

Then we presented members of the group with tokens of appreciation for special contribution made to our group. A huge THANKS goes to:

  • 2024 Dance Instructors: Clare – Maniac, Larrissa – Elvira, Peg – Cine Are Noroc Are, Sharon – Shivers; and Wren, Clancy, Dan and Banjo – The Pirate Dance
  • 2024 Best Attendance (more than half the dance sessions and are not dance instructors): Michael (31 sessions), Alison (28 sessions), Suzi (28 sessions), James (24 sessions), Sue (23 sessions), Bev (18 sessions), Helen (17 sessions)

(Note: I have mugs for Clare, Sue, Bev and Helen at home – if I don't see you in the holiday break, I'll bring them to the 1st dance session in 2025)

 

After that, the dance started of course! We started with
THE PIRATE DANCE to start, and we made Wren very proud of us! We also danced
SHIVERS, CALM DOWN, MANIAC (FLASHDANCE), ELVIRA, CINE ARE NOROC ARE (BY NICOLAE GUTA), YOU SHOULD BE DANCING, WAKA-WAKA, PEARLY SHELLS.

 

That's all for 2024! Enjoy the break and remember our first dance of 2025 will be on Monday 3rd March. 

 

Error! Filename not specified.

 

I have more pictures and videos, I will need a few days to process them and when ready I will send them out to the group (Larrissa: I will also send you the details where to upload
your video too).

 

A huge THANKS to everyone in the group for a year full of fun and dancing! Look forward to another one in 2025. 

 

Hugs & kisses,

Raul Arregui
