Dance Practice Resumes
Note from Elizabeth:
Normal practices will start up on Friday, July 31. Like normal, we will have kids practice at 7:30pm and adult practice starts at 8:30pm. However, we are going to try something different for the adults this year. We will only be having Glockenspiel practice every other week, so if you are interested in learning skits or participating in skits at German Central or Tulsa you need to try and be at these practices. The weeks that we do not have practice we will be incorporating learning more Volkstanze (dances that have minimal to no turning or plattlering in them) for the first 30ish minutes of practice. We are hoping that that more of our members who want to dance but can’t turn or plattler can become more involved! Below are the dates for what weeks will have Glock practice or Volkstanze. We will still be doing our normal practice of plattlers for our events but we are just incorporating another element to it.
Glock Practices:
Aug. 7
Aug. 21 (location TBD)
Sept. 4 (TBD due to Labor Day Weekend)
Sept. 9 or 10 (at German Central)
