I'll try to send you info each week or each month, and I encourage you
to nag me if I forget, but here's a way to generate default
announcements.
Look at http://www.mit.edu.ezproxyberklee.flo.org/~tech-squares/schedules/rounds-sched.html
for the schedule of what rhythm goes with what month. So Foxtrot for
December, Waltz for January.
If the rhythm is X, the announcements are
Week 1: Jessica will teach a class in X technique. Open to all,
especially those planning to take Phil's X course this month. *
Week 2. Phil will start a class in X. (Add something about who it's
appropriate for **).
Week 3. Phil's X class continues. If you missed the first class, talk
to a Rounds Coordinator, and we'll help you catch up.
Week 4 (and 5 if there is one).
* Note that this isn't right for this coming Tuesday; Jessica is
teaching Tango technique, not Foxtrot.
**. For Beginning Waltz and Two-step; open to everyone. No rounds
experience required. If you've ever thought of trying rounds, this is
a great time to start! Put in whatever enthusiastic thing you like
that you think will make people take the class.
Rumba, Cha Cha, and "Other Rythms" (which will cycle between Slow
Two-Step, Tango, and Jive); open to all; no rounds or X experience
required.
The classes labelled "intermediate", "Cuer's choice" and foxtrot are
not the best classes for a beginner. I'll try to give you some
appropriate wording for who the class is for when those come up.tto concernin
Weekly announcements are one of the main ways we communicate with the group as a whole. The announcements are emailed to tech-squares@mit.edu, put on our homepage, and read at Squares that night. If you're writing the announcements, make sure a paper copy of them gets to Squares so people can add more announcements and read it in the club meeting. The general format of the emailed announcements goes like this:
Greetings everyone! Tech Squares will be meeting this Tuesday, June
the 14th, in Sala. 7pm early rounds will be taught by Phil Gatchell
and will be rumba. 8pm dancing will be in Sala, with Sean Crist
calling squares and Phil Gatchell cueing rounds.
