November hop dancers.
Jane Gromelski
Tuesday, Jan. 28 will be our next ’50s and ’60s Sock Hop. It will be held in the MountainView Ballroom, doors and the cash bar will open at 5 p.m., the buffet will be served at 5:30 p.m.
The meal will include a plated salad, rolls, and butter, comfort food meatloaf, mashed potatoes and gravy, a garden vegetable, and cookies!
This gives us a chance to socialize before the action starts!
Tickets are on sale at the MountainView office, they are $30 per person.
When 2 Jacks and a Julie (aka Wild Ride) start playing, then we get down to serious dancing! They play Swing, West Coast Swing, Cha Chas rumbas, and a few Waltzes. They do a great job of mixing in some slower dances, so we could keep our energy from flagging. They play Elvis, the Righteous Brothers, the Everly Brothers, and even Patsy Cline. I love to see the tables empty for Unchained Melody. Even if you don’t dance, it is a pleasure listening to this band perform. I think they are the most exciting band in Tucson. They play from 6:30 until 9:30 p.m.
For those of us still there, after 8:30 p.m., they play requests, and really rock it out!
These Sock Hops are a blast!
Get your partners, your neighbors, and anyone you want to share a memorable evening with, and come join us in a trip back to our golden youth!
Wear your poodle skirt, your rolled-up jeans, or Tucson casual, just dress for fun! Dance to your own beat, dance like you wanted to in your youth! Stan and I wouldn’t miss it, join us!
