# Classes Relocated During Bldg 8 Upgrades

The Goddard Dance Club events will move location during the upgrade of
the lighting system in the Building 8 Auditorium scheduled for August 14

the Building 28 Atrium. The Sunday classes and dance practice sessions
will be held at Billie and Jim Rash's house (contact the Sunday class
reps for directions). Classes will also be relocated in May during the
MAD Spring Music & Dance Show. This will impact classes on May 16, 17,
and 19, 2004.

Special Events on 21AUG, 18SEP, and 16OCT will be relocated to the
Rash\'s home, for directions contact Kate Perrie (h) 410-757-1185,

# Wednesday Dance Class

The Goddard Dance Club is offering a 2-month dance class series in Basic
Ballroom Dancing May 5 to June 30, 2004 featuring Mambo/Salsa and Waltz
on Wednesdays from 7:30 to 9:30 PM. The price is \$60.00 for this set of
two-hour lessons (plus a \$10 annual fee to join the Club). All classes
are held in the Building 8 Auditorium. Please contact the class
representatives, Billie Byard (Billie.Byard@qssgroupinc.com (h)
410-757-9433, (w) 301-429-2581) or Ike Orlowski (Ike.Orlowski@jhuapl.edu

# Monday and Sunday Dance Classes

The 2-month Monday class series starts May 3, 2004. This series will
feature Triple Swing, Tango, and Foxtrot. Classes start at 7:30pm.
Contact Class Rep. Ed Gaddy (edward.m.gaddy.1@gsfc.nasa.gov; egaddy@
comcast.net (w) 301-286-1338, (h) 301-390-5115).

We continue to offer Basic dance classes on Sunday at the \$60/person
(bi-monthly rate), which includes both the class at 6 PM and the
practice session from 7-9 PM. The continuing good news is that anyone
taking either the Monday or Wednesday class can take a second class,
including Sunday, for half price (\$30/person for two months). See
schedule of dances on page 3.

# Special Mixer Sundays

Please make a special effort to attend Sunday\'s dance practice sessions
on the Sundays following any pot luck dance. In an effort to add more
socializing to our dance club, we will play mixer dances on these
special \"Mixer Sundays\" and play a dance card game -- for those
members who wish to participate.
