Each year, starting with Easter Sunday evening, we have a square and round dance week. Easter 2012 will be the 44th year!
This dance week is held in Cham, Germany, about 1 hour North of Munich and close to the Czech border.

We start on Easter Sunday evening with a "Welcome Dance". (For those that arrive early, we will have a special, free "Trail-in Dance" on Saturday evening.)

The teaching week will start at 9:00 AM on Monday morning with three round dance workshops. Each morning, Monday - Friday. Each afternoon there will be square dance workshops. How does the program look for 2012? Here it is:

Square Dance Classes with these world-renown callers

Paul Bristow	Johnny Preston	Dave Wilson

Each afternoon there is a choice from three square dance classes

• Plus
  The dancers in this class are expected to know the mainstream figures. The figures for Plus will be taught, workshopped and practiced, practiced, practiced.
• A-1
  If you feel comfortable with Plus, and would like to learn more, each afternoon you may go to the A-1 class. Here you will be taught and of course get to practice A-1 figures.

  A-2 The top of the Cham Square Dance Program is the A-2 class. Those that dance A-1 and would like to learn more are welcome to attend and workshop (and practice) the A-2 figures.

Our three cuer/teachers for the week are

Susie & Gert-Jan Rotscheid	Curt & Tammy Worlock	Randy & Marie Preskitt

And each morning there is a choice from three round dance classes

Phase III moving on to IV class Dancers attending this class should be graduated round dancers and be comfortable dancing all the phase I & II figures including most of the phase III figures in the common rhythms such as: cha-cha, rumba, jive, waltz and foxtrot.
