| We've booked the 2008 Cruise! (back to the top) Carnival has agreed to hold several more cabins for us but they are going fast. This would allow you to still sign up with the dance group and attend group activities. The dates are Oct. 19-26. We have 96 people so far!
Chaparral Schedule ! (back to the top) Chaparral Party Schedule for the
last half of 2008: Notice that we have 2 parties in August! Most of you are familiar with the wonderful 4,000 sq. ft. non-smoking dance floor but if you haven’t made it to one of the other parties you’ve been missing out! The party is BYOB but you may not bring beer, wine coolers, setup mixes including tonic water, club soda or soft drinks. You CAN bring wine but not wine coolers! These items MUST be purchased from the Chaparral Club. To get to the Chaparral club take I45 South to the Holland exit #17 (just past Dickinson). Take the feeder road to the stop sign and make a right onto Holland Road. (Do not go over the overpass.) Drive approximately 1½ mile as the road winds around to the right. The road changes names to Rosalie but just stay on the road till it dead-ends at the Chaparral Recreation Association Club. You’ll see the golf course on the left just before the club. We've been having such a great time at the parties, we've had to "kick" people out at closing time because they want to keep dancing on this great floor! Bring your friends, family & neighbors. Don’t
miss it! Come ready to dance till you drop & have a good time. We
encourage all singles and couples to attend!
Intermediate/Advanced
Cha Cha Workshop on 07/19! Instead of a 2 Step workshop this month, we’re planning a Cha Cha workshop for Saturday, 7/19, 06:00-07:00pm at Big Texas. It contains intermediate to advance material, so completion of 3rd level Cha-Cha is suggested as a pre-requisite for this workshop. Cost is ONLY $5.00 per person.

and Charles's: Chaparral Party Rumors?(back to the top) We've heard recently that some people are spreading rumors that the Chaparral parties are for couples only or that beginners are not welcomed. We'd like to say that while we have a lot of couples who attend we also have a lot of singles who attend. As you all know all of our students and friends who attend both the Chaparral and Big Texas functions dance with everyone else. And, ladies, the guys like to be asked to dance also! Why should they be the only ones asking? Seating at the Chaparral sometimes make it harder to mix so we're asking everyone to sit as close to the dance floor as possible so that they can be seen. If you have any suggestions about seating, etc. at the Chaparral parties please let us know. We'd like to make this a function that everyone can attend & just have a ball. As for beginners not attending.... what better place than our functions! There's plenty of room, a big variety of music, and lots of friends to mix with. Please help us continue to make the Chaparral parties a big success by attending. We work very hard on putting together danceable music that everyone can dance to. The mixers seem to be a great hit so they will continue. It's a great way to dance with someone whom you've never danced with.
How Does Our Program Work? (back to the top) We've had questions from prospective and new students about how our program works so here it is. All our classes are offered in "levels". We teach the following dances:
We also teach Rumba, Foxtrot, Tango, Salsa, Merengue. You can compare our program to your school days. You started with 1st grade and progressed until you completed all requirements to graduate. Well, we do the same thing. Each level builds on the previous level. Each class meets for 1 hour a week & each level is 6 weeks long. When a level finishes, the next one starts the next week, same time and place. You do not need a partner. If the class is not balanced we bring in helpers. You pay by the level and there are no contracts to sign. If you repeat a class within 24 months you get the discounted price ($40.00/couple, $30.00/single). Trying to get ready for
a special occasion? a Holiday party, wedding, etc?
