Time to remember all those wonderful dances you have learned throughout the year and celebrate your year of dancing and the friendships you have attained and possibly gained. The end of year Christmas Socials will wind up the year 2011 so dress up in your Christmas colours and join your fellow dancers for a fun, social time and celebrate the season together before you take a break.

The 2012 National Choreography Championships will be held at the Tamworth Tennis Club on Sunday the 22nd of January 2012, co-ordinated by Chris Watson. Victorian choreographers always do well at this competition. Details for entering are available on www.dare2dance.org. Good luck to those that are entering. Our Country Music Capital is also the ideal place to keep you dancing in January whether it be dancing in the street, at the shopping centre or at one of the halls.

The 20th Annual Australian Line Dance Championships are also held in Tamworth from Monday 23 January 2012. Wendy Hughes is the Event Director and all information is available on www.ldaa.com.au. Good luck to all the contestants and we look forward to hearing all about our competition winners.

Your Committee have discussed a few items for 2012 and we will keep you fully informed. Our role is to organize events and to promote line dancing. One of the best ways to promote line dancing is through Facebook. The VLDA have a facebook group page that you can be part of. Please post your information on the page to let everyone know of your most recent news and events.

If you are a Club or group that is willing to do demo’s please advise our Publicity and Promotions Officer so that we can notify you when the requests come through to us.
If you have a new beginner class please send the details to me to forward on to the appropriate committee member for listing on our website and a mention on our facebook page. We are attempting to reorganize the VLDA Website for people interested in learning to line dance to have easier access to information on classes as well as videos of our large events and competition winners. Our intention is to also advertise our website in one of the major newspapers.

Thank you to all past and present Committee members for all your hard work over the past year. It has been a pleasure working with you and I look forward to our plans in 2012.

I would like to wish everyone a very happy Christmas with all your friends and family. If you are travelling, take care and arrive safely. Enjoy the break and come back to class ready for another exciting year of dancing. Thank you for a wonderful year of dancing.
