Round Dance of the Week: Bakersfield Fiesta

Bakersfield Fiesta is also our featured Round dance of the week. They have a full round dance program that this year features cuers Mary Ann Callahan & Brian Wyatt, T.J. & Bruce Chadd, and Wayne & Barbara Blackford.

Don't forget to leave extra early if you dance rounds. Super early sessions of round dancing start at 5:00 pm on Friday. There are two separate halls of early rounds: Phase 2-4 and Phase 4-6. For many of us, this session is the best session of the weekend. There are three solid hours of rounds before any square dancing starts. Each cuer gets one hour in each hall. The Phase 4-6 hall has plenty of dances at each level. Some of the dances are programmed but there is room for some requests also.

This year, Wayne and Barbara Blackford substitute at the last minute for the ailing Joy Read, who broke her wrist just yesterday. Wayne and Barbara will teach a Phase 4 dance and a Phase 5 dance on Saturday morning. T.J. & Bruce Chadd will teach a Phase 3 dance on Sunday morning.
