September
Lessons Two Step with
Don Leynes modified: If you
were at Chicagoland and saw a guy not named Kermit taking pictures, that was Don Leynes,
our instructor for the month of September. Don will be teaching the Two Step—the foundational dance of country music. Attendees
will benefit from Don’s expertise and sense of humor as a regular SNC
instructor, as well as a favorite at Cadillac Ranch, where he teaches on
occasion with Julie Hein.
We hear Julie will be joining him for the lessons. |
