information in the e-mail below. What a unique promotion of square
dancing. As we understand it this same show will continue until Christmas
at various locations around the Midwest (Mankato, MN; Denver, CO; Rapid
City, SD; Bismarck, ND; Fargo, ND; Sioux City, IA; Omaha, NE; Des Moines, IA;
Milwaukee, WI) to name a few. As far as we know this same square dance
routine will be included in all of those shows.<BR><BR> Duane

PM<BR>Subject: Truly wonderful square-dancing promotion<BR><BR><BR>Thanks to Bob
and Velma Wolff, thirty-six Westonka Whirlers saw an incredible
endorsement and promotion of square dancing this afternoon! Where?
Lorie Line and her Pop Chamber Orchestra presented her 2005 Holiday Extravaganza
at the State Theater in </SPAN><st1:City><st1:place><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Minneapolis</SPAN></st1:place></st1:City><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">. What a show! For two-and-a-half hours,
the sold-out theater clapped, cheered, and rang bells as Lorie presented
her theme this year: "My Favorite Things."<BR><BR>Near the end of the
first half, Lorie formed a square and they squared danced to a Christmas
tune! Yes, they actually did a square dance with Tim, her husband and
narrator of the show, calling the dance as well as calling the dancers the
Westonka Whirlers! When he called "teacup chain," we broke into
cheers! The performers on stage knew the "real" Westonka
Whirlers were there! </SPAN><o:p></o:p></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">How did they learn to square dance?<BR><BR>On the
back of the program, Lori listed a special thanks "To the real Westonka
Whirlers who taught us how to square dance one beautiful
fall morning. That was a very memorable day."<BR><BR>In actuality, it
wasn't the Whirlers who taught them how to dance--it was Dick Rueter.
The Whirlers provided a square so he could work out a routine for them and
have some dancers to perform his choreography at Lorie's dance studio and
then be "angels" for them. We had a ball!</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P>

square dancing that is professionally done and looks like so much
