UPCOMING CARDIO DRUMMING EVENTS
HYBRID SOCIAL RECAP
Darlene, Peter, and I hosted our second "hybrid" social of this year on Sunday, May 29th, at Rohan Rec Center from 5-7pm.
The purpose of these events is to give drummers exposure to some very easy line dancing (with instruction), and for line dancers to try cardio drumming without having to purchase equipment.

Drummers and dancers began arriving at 4:30 and got comfortable at the tables around the room, and began nibbling on the light snacks provided or which they brought themselves.
We began easy line dance instruction at 5pm with Cupid Shuffle which we did once to the original song, and a second time to a medley of march music. Then I taught Swingin' Thing and we did it straight one-wall style before doing it a second time contra (thank you Cheryl Sjolund for the inspiration!) Then Darlene taught Lonely Drum EZ to the original music and a second time to Fireball (thanks to Karen Schramm for providing the music, which I forgot to load onto my iPod!).
Throughout the evening we drew for door prizes, and gave away three awards in the optional 50/50 drawing. After a brief rest while drummers set up their kits, we began the drumming portion of the social. Drummers and newbies took turns doing some of our class routines, and everyone had multiple opportunities to try it out. Unbeknownst to me, our social had appeared in the paper, and the folks who dropped in were able to participate as well.
We finished on schedule a little before 7.
