In the mood for a little fox-trot? The second session of ballroom dancing instruction began January 6. Sunol residents, Toni and Ben Coplan had been taking lessons from Phran Turner of the Livermore Area Parks and Recreation Department and thought it would be wonderful to bring some dancing enthusiasm to Sunol residents. Phran teaches basic ballroom dancing techniques, which include the swing, fox-trot, rhumba, waltz and samba in 10 to 15 minutes intervals of each during the hour. The brave dancers this session are: Toni and Ben Coplan, Tom and Vicki Harland, Marc and Hilda Jacob, Frank and Diane Fries, Connie DeGrange and Ron Smith, Phil Hutton and Sharon Orgian, Eric Freeman and Sarah Cooley, and Martin Smith and Anna Freed. The group meets every Tuesday for six weeks from 7:30 to 8:30 at Sunol Glen. But hang on to those dancing shoes, this session is not available to new dancers, the next session will begin in mid to late February and Toni says "they would love to gain new dancers" at that meeting.
