Peaches are ready. I have about 30 additional gallons of peaches from our tree that need to be used. I will be processing them this week. I won't be able to get to all of them. The peach variety is O' Henry freestones and are great for canning, freezing, jam or preserves. And for all of you who know; I grew up on a peach ranch. O' Henry is my favorite variety from childhood. I want to share, so bring a box and let me get you set up.
Please bring in a box with your name on it to the 7:30 Tango class in Meridian and I will be loading up your box after class. Only one box per couple please.

June/July Lesson:
East Coast Swing.
A true "American Dance", and a descendant of Lindy Hop and Jitterbug, this dance is known as "Triple Swing". It dates back to the 1920's Where the black community discovered the Charleston and Lindy Hop while dancing to Jazz music. It developed the development of "Ragtime" and then "Swing" music. During World War II, the American forces introduced the dance to Britain, together with the popular orchestras of the day, such as Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Tommy Dorsey and of course, Glen Miller. Sometimes, after War's end, the faster version stayed in Europe and became known as the Jive. This dance continues to remain popular with all age groups as music is available from all time eras.

Music: It is danced in 4/4 time signature. The music is fast and lively in the Swing style.

Characteristics: Basically, a stationary dance, the East Coast Swing may have some progressive movements. It should be lively, fast and fun. Weight should be kept on the balls of the feet so that they insure a light "bounce" effect. There are a variety of movements that can be danced such as spins, kicks, underarm turns and changes of rhythm.

A word from Dance Vision on exploring the depths of your creativity. Their quote at the bottom of this post most perfectly expresses the feelings I have had about dance since a very little girl.

Through dance, individuals can explore the depths of their creativity, channeling their innermost thoughts and feelings into a mesmerizing symphony of movement. It is a language spoken not with words but with the body, a medium through which dreams are brought to life, and souls are set free to express themselves in a captivating display of rhythm and grace.💃🕺
