sorcyressSo! You like some sort of dancing! You've always wanted to learn Scottish Country! Or maybe you just like me and want me to be happy. Whatever the reason, you're want to come and be a volunteer dancer so that I can do well at my SCD1 teacher exams.
So here's the spiel:
Friday, May 1st is the night before the exam. I am planning to celebrate by gathering as many of the five Candidates2 as I can at my house, and at least nine total bodies so that we can each of us take a turn walking through our lesson --sort of a dress rehearsal, if you will. It would be helpful if you were available to come dance in my backyard, but not nearly as helpful as if you can come dance...
...Saturday, May 2nd is the day of the exam! We needstoogesvolunteer dancers that we can teach, to prove we know what we're doing. In theory, we pretend they are all beginners, in practice, the lessons move quickly enough that they're not as beginner friendly as they might be. It is still a good introduction to SCD though, especially if you have contra or squares experience.
If you are available to dance on May 2nd (and I mean really actually, no "maybes), in Stow3 from 1-5PM, please please PLEASE email me or leave a comment here, and I will put you in touch with our volunteer coordinator, Roberta. There will probably be cookies. There will certainly be good basic teaching for SCD. You will be doing a big favour for me and my fellow candidates, helping us become Real Dance Teachers. We need at least 20 people to sign up, and right now, we have about eight.
...and if you find you like it, there's another batch of candidates taking the second level exams on May 3rd, and they need dancers too4. I myself will be dancing for that one (I can't dance for my own candidates, unfortunately) and would enjoy the company.
So seriously. TL;DR: Come dance, in Stow, May 2nd, 1-5PM, cookies, free. Thank you!

1: SCD = Scottish Country Dancing, probably my favourite dance form, probably in the top five of "important things in Kat's life" right up there with writing, sex, and spiders.
2: Candidates! We are candidates for our preliminary dance license! We have three units to pass --the written exam, which we took in October (I passed!), the dancing exam, and the teaching exam. The exam I need volunteers for is the teaching one.
3: If the only thing preventing it is the Stow part, please sign up anyways and I will find you a ride somehow.
4: Although much less badly, because their exam date doesn't compete with any branch events like ours does. No bitter here, just...PLEASE COME DANCE FOR US.
