On April Fool's Week, a marvelous evening of Oddities and Curiosities!With a performance by Stanford Bropening at 9:50!
The FNW Odd Ball evolved from the April Fool's Silly Music Night from twenty years ago, so tonight's music will all be whimsically odd, fun or funny.
Richard Powers teaches classes with Tracey, from 7:15 to 9 pm. Richard is our dance music DJ from 9pm to midnight.
7:15pm - Three Line Dances for an Odd Ball. Each is perfect for tonight, in its own way. The third one is Richard's favorite new line dance discovery.
8:00pm - Contemporary French Waltzes in Odd Time Signatures. High five for waltzing in 5/4 time! That will be followed by an unusual but easy way to waltz in 8/4 time (you'll see why it's counted that way), then in 11/4 time. Surprisingly, they are do-able by beginners who have never waltzed before, but seasoned waltzers will also find them fascinating.
8:30pm - Zwiefachers! Yes! This was Tracey's top choice for Odd Ball dances. Trust her. You'll see why!
These are ALL-LEVELS CLASSES, no previous experience required.
9:00 pm - The Odd Ball. Richard is our dance music DJ, and will feature some of his favorite odd, fun and funny dance music for waltz, swing, tango, cross-step waltz, bachata, West Coast Swing, cha cha, BNP, salsa, Tokyo Polka, Lindy, NC2S, Romany Polka, hustle, and more!
