Exciting News for Dancers

Leave a Comment

Have you ever thought of dancing competitively? Of becoming a better social dancer? Couples or singles?

If so, Travis Wright and Sue Cravalho have good news for you.

The United Country Western Dance Council (UCWDC) will be hosting the UCWDC World Championships here in our own backyard next January in Burlingame, CA.

Because of this great opportunity, Sue and Travis are excited to announce a special Saturday morning dance class focusing on competitive dancing.

No Partner? No problem! You can dance in what is called Pro/Am (see our FAQ section for further explanations). Males (Leaders) will dance with Sue and ladies (Followers) will dance with Travis.

Have a partner that you really want to dance with? Great! The routines and techniques that they will be teaching will get you two ready to compete … together.

Sue and Travis will teach you choreographed dance routines, work with you on technique, styling and most of all having FUN! These classes will give you a strong understanding of the dances and help you gain confidence on and off the dance floor.

If you’ve ever wanted to step out of that comfort zone and stretch…this is it!

Classes are as follows:

Where:

Rookies Pub & Grill
1251 East Yosemite Ave
Manteca, CA 95335

When:
Saturdays, March 4th through March 25th

Time:
9:30am till 11:30am

Cost
$80 per student for the 4 week class

If you’re interested or have any questions, please contact Travis or Sue individually or through the website here and they will be happy to answer all of your questions

Keep Dancin’

“

Hello Dancers,

As most of you already know. Rookies has made a change and only wants me to teach the dance lesson and leave. Rookies doesn’t want to pay me to Dj after lessons. Only play the house music and leave.

You all have made it VERY CLEAR that you all want to Dance after the lessons and Rookies doesn’t understand this. So….. After talking with a majority of you, I have decided to try a different approach this Wednesday. I will play the music from 8 – 10:30pm as normal so everybody can dance after the lesson. There will be a Donation Jar by the stage. If you would like to dance after the lessons, please make a donation to keep the dancing going. If this works, we will continue our Wednesday Night Dancing. If this doesn’t work, we may have to find a different Venue and I am not sure where we can find one around Manteca!

Pass on the word that we will be back to normal this Wednesday. Let’s show Rookies that they want us there as much as we want to be there!

We have made a small change to Saturday Night Lessons. The lessons will be as follows:

5:30 – 6:15 pm – Beg/Int West Coast Swing
6:15 – 7:00 pm – Beg/Int Country 2 Step
7:00 – 7:15 pm – Line Dance

7:15 – 8:30 pm – Open Dancing
8-30 – – Band Plays
I look forward to seeing you all out on the Dance Floor! Let’s keep the dancing going at Rookies!

Keep Dancin’

Travis

PS – Some of you have shown interest in dancing competitively. The UCWDC (United Country World Dance Council) will be having the World Dance Championship right here in our back yard! In San Francisco! So if you are interested in doing a Pro/Am (Where you will be dancing with Sue or Myself), please let us know! We have just over 10 months to get your ready. See us after the lessons on Saturday Night!

Dance Lesson Change in Manteca

Leave a Comment

Rookies has decided to make some changes for Wednesday and Saturday Nights. To continue to accommodate dancers, here is the plan:

Effective Wednesday January 25th, Rookies will require that a minimum purchase of $5.00 be made by the patrons who are planning to participate in any dance lesson. Once the minimum $5.00 purchase is made, you will receive a wristband that allows you to participate in the dance lessons.

Also in the changes, Rookies will turn on their regular GoCast music after the lesson for you to dance to. Travis will no longer be playing the music after the lessons.

Look forward to seeing you on the dance floor as you continue your dancing endeavors.
