The Dance Club of Olympia was extremely pleased to discover our May 10th Sock Hop highlighted on the cover of the June 2008 issue of InStep magazine. The main article featured a detailed description of the event. Thanks to Anne La Zara, our dance correspondent and roving reporter, for writing the article. And a special thank you to all the volunteers who helped set up and take down. If you’re looking for new places to go dancing, InStep Magazine is a great way to keep informed about upcoming dances, events, and news in Washington and Oregon.

SOCK HOP RESULTS1

Thanks to everybody who showed up Saturday night to make the Dance Club of Olympia’s annual Sock Hop such a success! We had over 200 dancers, many who came out in 50’s style costumes.  Congratulations to the winners of the “One Year or Less” swing dance contest - Elizabeth Healey and Richard Reith, the winners of the “Over One Year” dance contest - Scarlet Bloyd and Jeff Powney, and the winner of the costume contest - Linda Rowell. We’ve already had a request to put on another Sock Hop instead of waiting until next year. Here’s some photos of the event:

Special thanks to Steve and Anne for making the Sock Hop happen. That’s a candy cigarette that Anne is holding, in case anybody is wondering.

A number of cool chicks came dressed in poodle skirts. The fact that Mother’s Day was the following day made this all the more fun. 

The multi-talented Kathie Roberts taught a group lesson of a new line dance that she choreographed to the song “Shoe Girl,” which she wrote. Looks like Kathie got hooked on the candy cigarettes also.

Here’s some of the participants during Kathy’s line dance lesson. Just like high school, except without the chaperones!

And this is a photo of Adam Inglin’s swing lesson. That’s Linda Rowell in the pink waitress’s outfit, who was the crowd’s overwhelming favorite for best Fifties costume.

Last night was our April dance. To give you an idea about what the music was like, we have included a video clip. This event was part of ArtsWalk in Olympia. The proceeds from this dance went into a fund for sponsoring ballroom lessons for young people.
