DONT STOP! DONT SIOW DOV/N!
YOU JUST HADTO BE THERE
If I'ou notice fellow members:
.-.Wandering around looking for Joshua
...Muttering about the terrible things they'regoing to do to the bodies of the "loungers"
..-suddenll' dancing better
...trying to buy' the negatives of picturestaken bt' other members
...and generally acting srspicious,
lon't be alarmed; it's just because they.;ent to the }larin Headlands retreat.
Endless jokes and silliness are only a partof the special feeling that grows amon8,people at a retreat - the camaraderie isborn of shared confidences, quiet insightsand acceptance of people on a differentplane: shl' people seem to be out fronta l i t t le (sometimes a lot) more; cri t icalpeople seem a little more tolerant...newfriendships form, old friendships deepen.

That was the kind of retreat it was. Sorryif you missed it, but there is another beingplanned for this fall. Bill Whitefield andBob Bellville organized this one at theIrlarin Headlands lnstitute, and they don'tcome an)' better for fun and relaxation- thanks again, Bill and Bob!
It $'as a pleasure for Club members tomix uith some of the neu' graduating classmembers, and it s'as great to have Andyand Randt', new WSD members, with us fromthe Peninsula.
We worked on Mainstream, Plus and Al(at least, thel ' drug me thru A1.. .) Pattytlhite and Max Robb shared the honor (?)of being elected Mr. Marin Headlands, andthe Ms. lrlarin Headlands title went to MissSteffany Stamper.
This class is to be congratulated for (almost!)completing the Mainstream course, andwe hope to be seeing, them at the neu'Club nites. The), will be learning Plus,and we u,ill be workshopping the Pius listas uell as dancing full Plus tips. Thet'are a lot of fun ! I hope WSD will q'elcomethem and not be shy about talking to them- remember, you were neu' in the Clubat one t ime!
A brand-new Beginners' class on Wednesdaynights is going very q'el l in Bob Bel l r , i l leand Bi l l \ [ 'h i tef ie ld 's capab]e hands, andall are encouraged to come and angel thisgood-looking group of people. Joining Rodas archangel is Matthew Snyder, a newMainstream graduate.
Last month, I inadvertently' forgot to mentionthe contribution of three great womenin WSD: Denise Young for reproducing ourNewsleter and org,anizing the garage sales,Gai l C. for being the editor of last year 'sNeusletter and her input to the Board,and last but certainll ' not least, Pattl 'White for her work on the giant petticoatused in the Gay Freedom Day Parade.
The San Francisco Fly-in is being plannedand the dance committee is composed ofpersons who are all members of all threeclubs in the Cit l ' . . .so donrt think that just
one club is puttrng thrs t'ly-in on! However,if -v-ou see what looks like one club beingin control, that is the volunteer staff,and we hope that WSD folks will help outon various committees that are being formednow. If you would like to help in an:q?Igglly, please see one of the dance com-mittee members (l am one of them).
This year is really beginning to take shape,so don't be left out of the fun - comeand join us! Remember,
DON'T STOP! DON'T SLOW DOWN!

HAPPI/ NE\v f 'EAR,I(A\D PASS THE BLACK-E\ED PEAS!)
1989 got off to a great beginning...-,anks to Bill Shitefield and his honey,Gary. About 40 people staggered over totheir home (after who-knows-what kindof New Year's Eve parties!) to watch footbatl.socialize and eat gallons of black-eyedpeas and cornbread. People came and wentthroughout the da)', relaxing and eatingand eating and eating.
Agnes Smith sas visiting from Seattle andI saw lots of people I haven't talked toin ages and ages. The football game waspretty good - but mostly all I wanted tosee Eere the cheerleaders. Thanks again,Bill and Gary, for starting my new yearout right - good friends, good food andthe 49ers! - Brenda Sta.{ololol4ofolololo|ololofi

LETTERS TO TI{E EDTTOR
tt Anne Uebelacker called a great dance(as she always does), but something happenedto mar an otherwise lovely evening. ASuest was at the mike trying to make anannouncement and everyone in the roomsimply ignored her. Seven squares of peopleseemed determined to convey their disdainfor her message.
I was embarrassed for all of us and terriblysorry for her as she tried unsuccessfullyto make herself heard over the din.
It uas inexcusably nrde behavior for WSDmembers, (even though they are accustomedto according the same treatment to theiro$n Callers and Board members during ClubNite announcements.) And it was inexcusablyrude of the other guesrs who, like WSD,are square dancers and ought to know better.
What an example to setShame!
for our class.- Patty White

COR.R.ESPONDENT
It's been about a year since my last letterto WSD and a total of about 16 monthssince I arrived in Tokyo. It has indeedbeen a Sreat adventure and promises tobecome even more so as will be evidentfrom what fcllows-
Recently I joined lnternational Friends,the only social gay group I know of here.Membership is relatively small, considering
that the equivalent of the entire Population" California lives within a 3O-mile radius
downtown Tokyo, and turnover seems-..gh. Nevertheless, there's a core of regulars,and af:er my 3rd meeting and attendanceat the Christmas party, I 've decided toacquaint the group with square dancing;if there's support, I'll organize a class.
I have one Japanese friend here who isnot a member of IF, but sa\r' square dancingat a bar in Seattle during a New Year'svisit to your side of the Pacif ic. He hasexpressed interest in working with me.
There is one other guy I haven't met whoasked for information about the upcomingconvention from the club leaders who didn'thave an)'. Thanks to the regular newslettersI get from you, if he calls, you ma)' seehim in New York, and he may make ourduo a trio here now if we can onlyround up five more, we'd have a square!
Sell, I do miss square dancing, but organizinga club here is a bit daunting to say the
'ast. Help!!! I don't real ly know whatneed or where to get it. I do remember
a chap who published a booklet on howto start a club.
But first, I think I need something tikea videotape of sguare dancers having agood time and maybe putting on a goodshow to share with the group here at amonthly meeting.
And second, I think I need a cassette tapeof some kind of beginner's lesson, or adance involving simple calls so I couldgive the Broup a sample of what it's liketo actually dance themselves, i.€., whipup some real enthusiasm!
This is all very fuzA to me - but if thereis enthusiasm, I c,ant to be able to keepthe ball rolling, so to speak. Alas, I can'tcarry a tune, but there are others whocan, but call a square dance?
Any help, advice, etc. you can give wouldbe very much appreciated. Needless tosa)', I will be happy to reimburse you anyexpense, postage, etc., within limits, toget things off the ground. Ttren if wehave to buy a set of recorded basic lessonsor whatever, I'll have to go to the groupfor help.
I fear renting space to practice here maybe ver1, expensive, but Irll cross that bridgewhen I (we) come to it. Squares acrossthe sea?????
Happl' New Year, from the Land of theRisineSun' %Yilsi l ,4

It was my f i rst f l i - in and thel tveren' t gent le
r r , i th me a t a l l tHa l le lu jah) !
I was going al l hours of the dal 's and nights( just as I had Planned).
I t a l l s ta r ted u i th the n i teorv l f l i gh t f rom San
Francisco to Pit tsburgh leaving oniy 45 minuteslate. With Anna Damiani bv- my side as a sleep-ing companion, we 8ot 1, '2 hour 's sleep bef ore
being awakened bt ' the f l ight cre\\ ' so they' couldserve us d inner (a t 1 :15 AI l ) ! A f te r tha t , s leepwas over for the tr ip. Anna and I discussedthe past, present and f t t ture of Western StarDancers.
Arriving in Pittsburgh Thursday verrr!' earlY',ue went outside and admired the snow - l i t t iedid we know trhat was ahead! We cl imbed intoa puddle- jumper and - s lowly- made our wayto Toronto. The Customs there gave fuina ascare: the! ' had sort of waved her thru, butI was gett ing the 3rd degree! Lucki l l ' , theyd idn ' t search m) bags , o r I m igh t s t i l l be there !
Iai t ing for us on the other side were HarlanKerr and Anne Uebelacker, and we were offto SHOP! we'd promised ourselves that we'djust look that f i rst day, and that 's al l we did
but two shoppers get very hungry out inthe cold and snorvl Trust ing to guides that ourhosts had mai ied us, we made our way to abarrcafe cal ied CHAPS for lunch (great burgers!)
Late in the afternoon, I cal led my' host- to-be, Andy' Chong, a nice man who had al l k indsof sight-seeing info I 'd asked for. Andy andI went to the Community Center uhere the dancewas to be he ld . The C lub 's Beg inn ing C lass\vas going. Thel' \\rere a fun group, u'ith eyesso u' ide open thel ' swung and dived al l overthe f loor! We pul led some thru as Angels do.
Mant ' people from past Convent ions started pouringthru t l ;e door, and the evening dancing real lygot underway, ui th Harlan cal l ing.
After the dance, Chris (a Toronto host) tooka group of us to one of the town's popularhot spots, a bar cal led B00TS (a large discowith smalier rooms to get away. from the blareof sound) and after a few drinks, several ofus went to a "leather" bar, RA'*TilDE. I didn'tsee one piece of leather, but the juke box
was country u'estern. I t \uas late on a Thurs-day night, but those of us from out of tow'nwere Bett ing acquainted, so tve didn' t mind.The bars close in Toronto at I AM. but voucan have co f fee in them t i l l 2 .
Fr iday morning, I got up br ight and earl5, , toget a good start on sightseeing at the Art Cal lery 'of 0ntar io (rvhich also contains the Henr5' NlooreSculpture Center and the Crange, a restored1840 's house) . Hav ing fu l f i l l ed mt , cu l tu requota for the day-, I decided to check on Torontosleaze - - ' -es, even on a Fr ida,r af ternoon, sleazecan be found by a tackl ' tour ist !
I came to surf ace with a smile on my' f acejust in t ime for the f i rst t ip of the dance atSt . Luke 's Un i ted Church- A lo t more peop lehad arr ived from al l over the States and Canada,and a pot luck awaited. This dance was a four-way af f air with Anne & joe l -rebelacker. I r l ikeDeSisto and Harlan Kerr each taking turns withus.
After the dance, we went to a bar cal led TRAX.I t had about 5 la rge rooms - each u , i th i t s
own music - each room with i ts own feel. Il i ked th is bar a lo t ! Aga in , they had to makeus leave!
Saturday morning, I got a phone cal l invi t i .me to go to Niagara Fal ls, as I had been hint i r , -very strongl."- that I would love to go (l belier,,ethe statement by Harlan q,as that i u,ould doanything to Co). Les Hol louay' (an Americannow l iv ing in Canada) was kind enough to dr i ' , ,eMike DeSisto and me to the Fal ls. I had neverseen pictures of the Fal ls in u' inter - i t isver! ' d i f ferent- looking in the snow and ice!We had a great t ime. \ l ike and I shared a
f lask I 'd brought along - he is quite funn5,,and the three of us had a eood time!
We got back just in t ime to go to dinner atBUMPKINS, a very popular place with a mixedcrowd, where we had our oun private room,and I had the pleasure of s i t t ing at the Cal lers 'table. ( l mean after al l , ) l ike and I had spentthe da5'together at Niagara Fal is for Heaven'ssake - eat your heart out, Cathy!)
Then off we went to the Community Centerfor the Saturday ni te dance - this t ime theAdvanced dancers had their ori n room. I u'entin once for a l i t t le peek and got drug into
-
an A2 square (since I 've- only been thru A1,and that a long time ago, I was amazed athow wel l I did!)
4ftei^ the dance, I u 'ent to a bar cal led CLUBCOLB\' . This place had male str ippers (yum-lum!) Thel ' ran out of coat hangers as theplace \r 'as packed-packed-packed (dr inkingage is 19 and the oldest in the crowd werearound 22). After a slou look around, I headedback to TRAX for last cal l .
SundaS' morning Brunch was at P.J. IUELO\*S,u ,h ich u 'as no t rea l l l read l ' fo r such a la rgenumber of dancers.

Sunday, February' 19, Crossf i re I and I I u 'asthe center o f a t ten t ion o f the Wi lde Bunchin Albuquerque, New l t lexico - another exampleof the creat iv i ty that comes from the mindsof square dancers! We wi l l spend many' s leeplessn igh ts wonder ing jus t what i s in E l l io t t ' s \ \ ' i l l ,and what does Smiley real l l ' have to smile about?Is Madame going to sign a contract for Charmin?We can't u 'ai t for Crossf i re I I i !
In 1985 I graduated from lvlainstream with WesternStar. I remember readrng an art ic le '* ' r i t ten
by Russ King in the Neu'slet ter about " \ t ihat
Square Dancing Means to l t le." At the t ime,I thought i t s i l ly. But I understand now.
Sguare dancing gives me the opportunit \ tohave fun, laugh, learn, and u'ork u' i th a wonderfulgroup of people. The support I receive fromsquare dancers is great! And no\\ ' , s ince mor ingawa) from San Francisco, I ' r ,e learned whati t means to have Square Dancing brothers andsisters al l across the United States.
Square dancing gave rne a kei to a * 'onderf ulgroup of people in Albuquerque, the Wiide Bunch.I am so thankful that I met Carl Hammond whoinvi ted me to ml ' f i rst square dance lessonat Western Star. I appreciate the club for support-me through Basic and Mainstream.
I was so happy' to spend t ime with FreemanStalnper and Doug Eldr idge this ueekend, intent lS,vieu' ing Crossf i re I and I I , laughing, squaredancing and eat ing good \ew Mexican food.We have a good t ime here in Albuquerque. Thesquare dancing is fun, the people \l 'arm .andfr iendl l ' .
I hope ! 'ou can come visi t us sometime, especial \for our Bal loon Fiesta Fl t - in in 0ctober. i \1alyou cont inue in your success.

u' i th Anna Damiani
, he weekend of lvlarch 2-6 found Eddie andme in the lovel-v- c i ty of Toronto. Neither ofus had ever been there and i t was Eddie's f i rstf l : - in (he caught on fas t ! )
I met rnt ' hosts, Br ian Wilding and David Town-send, at the dance on Thursday night. I t wasthe Triangle Squares graduat ion night, theirf i rst f ly- in, and the f i rst t ime most of themhad ever danced with anyone other than eachother! Needless to sal ' , some of the newer dan-cers were a bi t nervous, with nearly 60 out-of - towners and more exci tement than an! 'oneknew what to do w i th !
\ \e soon forgot to be cold and sett led in fora weekend of fun in T.O. ( that 's Toronto, Ontar io)!
The announcement u'as made that Eddie tr ouldbe quite wi l l ing to do an) ' thing to get to NiagaraFa l ls . Wel l , Sa turda5 'morn ing , Edd ie and MikeDeSisto set of f for the Fal ls, thanks to Les'shosp i ta l i t y . I doubt tha t Mike w i l l ever be thesame af ter experiencing Niagara Fal ls u ' i th aman who wears a Mountie in his ear!
foronto turned out to be a very exci t ing tot tn.The subwa! ' , streetcars and buses al l connectto form a very eff ic ient t ransi t system. Nluch
of the scener! in Toronto seemed verl ' famil iarto me - I was informed by a member of a f i lmcre\r that I came across that Toronto is thelocat ion for man) scenes that are al legedlyf i lmed in the l - .S. The architecture is a stud) 'in cont ras t , w i th some very o ld bu i ld ings s tand-ing next to ver l ' modern ones.
Fridal ' and Saturday brought a l i t t le shopping,a i i t t le s igh tsee ing , a I i t t le snow, a l i t t le ra in ,and a lo t more danc ing !
A quest ion that I was never able to get a sat is-f a c t o r y ' a n s w e r t o w a s " H o \ t ' d o y o u k e e p } ' o u rface from freezing?"
After the last hurrah on Sunda5', I had theopportunit-v to get together with Chris, Andrew,and several other Tr iangle Squares, along withRon Goodman of Chi-Town and Ett f rom Balt imore.Thet spoke to me about the formation of theirespect ive Clubs. (There are some great stor ies
rut there!) We then watched Episodes I andI l of CCTV's "Crossf i re".
A l l in a l l , i t was a weekend tha t w i l l no t besoon forgotten. I t u 'as another opportunity tomeet square-dancers and make neu/ friends.Next stop - Denver and the "Ponderosa Prom-enade! " - Anna

F L A S H !TEA DANCES:
A NEW CONCEPT!
b'' Freeman Stamper
\lestern Star Dancers is working out the detaiisof a proposal to The Corral for a series ofSundal afternoon learn-hou,-to-square tea dances.All the particulars are not known yet, but TheCorral is excited about our proposal!
Currentll ', the proposed dates are SundaS's, June4 and 18, July 16, Autust 6, September 17 andSeptember 24. l[ 'atch for fll 'ers, liSD TODA\'!and the next issue of THE WESTERN STAR forspecif ics.
The purpose of this series is for S'SD to givesomething back to the Gal ' communit l whi leretaining a full program of instruction anddance for the Club. The concept is that eachtea dance u' i l l a lwa5's introduce the same f i rstnumber of calis, but end with one or tu'o differentsinging calls. These dances are designed forpeop le uho want to t ry 'a l i t t le square danc ingwithout becoming squarahol ics! [ 'e are goingto where those people are. not t r f ing to br irrgthem to us.
I t 's conceivable that a group of dancers ma)'form as a sub-group of tr|SD who have a l.imitedknou, ldge of cal ls, but s l i l l enjoy the act iv i t l 'per iodrca l15 . I f peop le w ish , the l cou ld expandtheir square dancing bl ' jo ining one of \ tSD'sbasic, 'mainstream classes.
t le ' l l need fun- loving angels. This is an act iv i t l 'for the sh) and unini t iated ( l ike lou- impactaerobics). So tel l ! 'our fr iends. Dust off yourboots i f you haven't danced in awhi le and getinvolved in these tea dances!

.ref iect ions on the State Square Dance Con-ren t ion in San Jose, Apr i l 15 , 1969.
i\ SD TODA\ ! is a new communications mediumior our Club which publ ishes inf ormation ofar i immediacy that would be useless i f deiay-edfor the next edi t ion of THE WESTERN SIAR.Prior to the State Square Dance Convent ion,Patt5 \ \nrte wrote a four-part saga on howto attend a sraight square dance. I thoughti t tas erceltent and covered ever] ' point whichover six !ears of squaring up has taught me.L,raper ine has i t rhat there was some corlcerntnat her pointers u,ere too closeted.
Personai l t ' , I don' t need a iot of bei ls, u 'hist ies,and simbols of m)' homosexuai i t ) to feel thatI have contr ibuted to straight societt . I goto square dances to dance - straight and ga).in n r ) e rer5da1 I i fe I do no t rns is t tha t peop leroSprscl me because I anr ga! ' ; I insrst that peoplerespect me because I am a person of u'orth.
\ \ t ren I am in a square, I bel ieve that I achieverespect bl f i rst demonstrat ing that i am a squaredancer. i do ml best, and I expect the othersto oo the same. \ lhen thel ' see that I haveachiei 'ed tne same object i r e as thel ' , then \ i 'ecan start to respect each other as personso f u o r t h .
Qur te honest ly , 959o o f the t ime when l 'm a ta strarght dance, i do not care about the otherpeopie in the square from the point of long-term commitments of f r iendship. I probabi lu i i i no t see them agarn un t i l we bo th a t tenda straight square dance fest ival . I want onl l 't i rai t f re5 u,ouid be pleased to nave me in theirsquare again because I demonstrated that Iu i rs as good a dancer as thel ' . Once that hasbeerr establ ished, we can proceed to e\aluateeach other 's worth as people and sqe uhetheror not ue '*ant to pursue a fr iendship.
I tai . .e a great deal of pr ide in present ing ml 'sel fin a square and having the others wonder aboutthis \ lestern Star Dancers., I don' t have "SanFrancisco" on ml' badge, so I must alwal's teilpeople u'here I dance. Not rran!, people wouldever bei iere I am straight, so they have toknou: ( i ) a gat ' , Ql an unknown ciub tand bel ieveme, straight dancers knou' the names of justabout ai l the other clubs) and (3) hum, mustbe a ga) ciub. Ihen, when out oi the blue,I c jarrce just as t i iey do and hare added to theirpleasure i rr the square, i have created a posit iveimage for rnl club and for me.
I propose that every Western Star student shouidbe required to take a f ie ld tr ip to a largesraight fest ival pr ior to being al iowed to ruate from Mainsrearn. \[ e as ga]' peopleonly a minute cl ique irr the gfeater square danceworid. \ le did not create thrs form of danceand constant l t ' take the dance forn as approtedby Cal ler iab. We need to be au'are that ueare ever-so-smal l in square dance hearen andthe best we can do is borrou the dance anduse i t in our communit l .

A \VORD TO THE \V ISE
bv Eddie Smith
At our neu dance space (EVRC), the manag,erapproached me u'ith a concern. It seems thatsome teenagers (macho "tough gu!'s") sell, dealand use drugs on the steps and in the pla)'groundof the fac i l i t i ' . The! 'have t r ied to ge t r id o fthe problem, but have not been successful.The manager is afraid a problem might ariseb: our hugging and kissing in front of theset eens.
l[ estern St ar Dancers has alu'a5's encouragedthe fr iendship'companionship of greet ing yourfr iends ui th a shou' of af fect ion. I see no reasonuh) this should even be considered for change.I u ould feel conrpel led to discourage an" '-oneuho even suggested tha t we s top .
The manager of E\RC does not plan to pol iceus. l t 's for sure that I u 'ould never considerthat ['estern Star Dancers should think aboutpol ic ing i ts members regarding the showingof a f fec t ion .
Hou'ei er, I do think that i t might be a goodidea not to have great kissing scenes r ightin fr?il-of these teenmticr;iarabout the area where the ping-pong table isset up. They' might lose their cool,control becausethel ' re on drugs and start a f ight there, orthel might attack you at r-our car. This hashappened be fore in th is ne ighborhood. I t ' s fo rsure thel' knou' u'hat kind of neighborhood thet''rei r r .
S0, JUST A UORD T0 THE ['lSE: BE COOL RIGHTI\ FP.O\T OF THESE TEE\S - IT I \4AY BE A SA\]T-) A\OID A BAD SITUATION. ALTHOUGH \T'E DOOI T\L UBER THE\], THEY I\1ICHT \\'AIT FOR USOL' ]S1DE.

Se don't want to feel that we alwa)'s needto be looking over our shoulders, but we Probabll'do need to show some caution with these teens.(An occasional "Hello" might help to break theice. )

A few u'eeks ago, Freeman and I had the oppor-tun i t l ' to t rave l to Denver fo r the "Ponderosa
Promenade" Flr - in.
After a smooth t l ight over the Sierras and theRockies, t* 'e arr ived at Stapieton Airport tof ind m)' hostess, Karen, await ing us. We wentc\er to the gate uhere Freeman was to meethis host (and col lect Steffanl ' aI the baggageclaim) and headed into town.
At the house, u'e got sett led and got read) 'fo r the eren ing 's fes t i v i t ies . Karen had a fewti) ings to do, so i went shopping (of course!)in tne oid Denver shopping area.
I later met Karen and off we went to an eveningof dancing,! \l hen ,*'e arrived at the hail, we\\ el 'e gl 'eeted bf some old frrends and somene\\ faces. After feast ing on a truly lusciouspol l r -rck, ,*e danced to cal ler Bud Bennet. i 'mnot sure if he u'as quite readl, for the energl,uhich uas packed into every Tea Cup Chainbut he sure seemed to have a good t ime ( lknou I did! ,1
Al"ter the dance, weioca l ua ter ing ho lesexcess energl !
r,ent of f to one of theto square dance off that
Saturdal morning dau,ned br ight and clear. \ l 'epacked up the car and headed for the woods( l i te ra l l l ) , head ing tow,ard the B iack Fores t ,just nortn of Colorado Springs. V'e arr ived atCamp La Foret in t ime for lunch.
After iunch, \ , ,e were treated to workshopslerr b: [ - teoorah Parnel l . This was fol ]owed bya tr ip to the Carden of the Gods. Here I u 'asfascinated bt rock ci imbers who hung on touai is of red rock in places where there appearedto be nothing to hold onto! Looking at therock formations, u 'e each found some verl 'unusuaipiciures in those rocks. This was also a chanceto shop for some lndian art and see authent icInd ian c ra f ts .
The Saturda5' night dance was a chance to hearDeborah do some of her ver) ' best rout ines.\\e had an Easter Bonnet Parade (thanks, ioe!)and danced a lo t !
After the dance, we got our PJ's and sett ledin front of the f i re to play "Spin the Bort le"and auard pr izes fo r an l 'good reason. A f te rauhi le u'e sort of dr i f ted off into smal ler groupsfor some catching up on old t imes and gett ingbetter acquainted u, i th neu fr iends.
One o'clock found Karl , Bi l l , B.J. and me dancingto some Ed Foote's hardest Advanced two-couplemater ial . l t 's t imes l ike this when you real izeho'*' hopelessly addicted to square dancing o-can become. After awhi le, Cricket volunteeto do a l i t t le round dance cueing. Pretty so.. .we realized it was af ter two in the morning!khowing that i t r*as t ime to cal l i t a night(u'e were ail nearll ' asleep), we rounded upa few remaining bodies and did a f inal
'A"
t ip .
Easter morning was bright and sunny; and afterbreakfast, the Easter bunn-u- came hopping outof the woods to tel l us that he'd lost his eggsand needed some help f inding them! After u 'e 'dfound the eggs, $e loaded up the cars andheaded back to Denver for a real l l ' n ice brunchat Dick Rydet l 's house. l lere we sat in thesun, relaxed and enjoyed wonderfui homemadewaf f Ies!
A f te r leav ing D ick 's p iace , we uent over toCharl ie 's Bar for a i i t t le last-minute dancing(l knou,, enough is never enough!) \ lhen ue'ddance t i l l \ r 'e couldn' t c iance an), ionger, ue\r 'ent to a local eater l , . This ga'u e us a chanceto winci down af ter the q'eekend's actn r t ies(and sa."- some goodby'es).
Nionday morning, brought another round of goodb'to m! ' new fr iends Karen and Eva. Eva an(headed for the bus uhich wouid take herschool and me to the airport.
Wel l , another weekend of dancing with neu'square dance fr iends had come to an end. I 'mIooking foru'ard to other f ly ' - ins in ci t ies whereI 've never been!

The San Francisco Fll -in was a smash successfrom al l reports! I had the pr iv i lege to workuith a dedicated committee that worked u,el ltogether and proved that ! 'ou can never starttoo soon or plan too much in detai l . Specialleadership from Anna Damiani, Doug Eldr idge,and Galen Workman made the work for ever!'oneelse so much easier. Others besides ml selfwho composed the committee were Ken Kalstein,Don Morton, Andy' Pergakis, and Harlan Kerr.
Special help on the Fly'-in came from RichardSimonelli, Marie Mohr, Cathl Springford, Hollis0reenwood, Mary Pat Powers, Jim Head andDon Greco. To Matt Messner and Neil Sechan,rvho opened their home for a great brunch0n Sunday, a very- special thank-you. Andof course a thank-y'ou to Saundra McEIroy-Bryant and Johnny Preston who gave wingedfeet to the dancers who attended the Fli.-in. Performing groups who added to the festiv-ties were The Saddietramps, Cold Rush, andhe Barbar,v- Coast Cloggers.
I had the good fortune to once again meetand over the weekend to host Alain b,nzardfrom NYC, a great gul'and a fun dancer!
June is graduation month and Western StarDancers has TWO CLASSES ENDING. so of coursethis means T\l'0 GRADITATION PARTIES! ThePlus graduat ion part) ' is June 19 and theMainstream part) is June 2I. Come and jointhe Club for both nights of fun and dancingat the Eureka Valley' Recreation Center (pleaseremember - no hard soled shoes).
\[e had two great nights of dancing u,ithPaul Waters and introduced the Club to anew dancing area: St. Paulus Lutheran ChurchParish Hall. The space is a good size, hassome parking in the area, and the hall feelscomfortable. Our challenging Plus night proved:
1. \ 'ou can' t miss several months of dan-cing and not expect it to shou, on thef l oor,
2. Just because you have taken an Adrancedclass doesn't mean you knou plus.
I suggest that some of -v-ou should come IoClub nights and get back into shape quick!

Steffanl' was unable to attend the ChesapeakeSquares fly-in, but she sent me, her sponsor.Did I sa)', "f ly-in"? I meant to sa!' mini-convention. Between 7:30 PM, Friday, May19, and 3:00 PM, Sunday, May 21, there were23 hours of dancing/workshops, Mainstreamand Plus with a l i t t le Al.
What started two years ago as a little excur-sion to the beach for this then-new BaltimoreClub, doubled in size between the secondand third !ears from 60 part ic ipants to 125.
Except for Cheryl from portland, Dennis andJeff from Sacramento, one person I did notmeet from Chicago or Cleveland, and me,the only other person not from Baltimore,Washington, D.C., or New York City was ourbeloved cal ler Chris Phi l l ips from the SouthFlor ida Mustangs.
The Atlantic Budget Motel, just I't? blocksfrom the ocean, is a charming motel withthis one carpeted conference room. My' anklesgot a little sore from trying to catch upwith m! body while doing spins and turns.He: , i f tha t ' s a l l ) :a go t , tha t r5 2 l l l . ' a go t lThe room is bursting at the seams with about10 squares! Ever5'one seemed to just joinin the good t imes with minimal complaining.I t was a structured weekend, but la id-back,with Lou Papowsky of Fairfax, \' irginia, andChris Phillips calling some good hash forjust-graduated Mainstreamers through just-completed Al-ers.
I arr ived in Washington, D.C., on Wednesdaynight, Nlay 11. Thursday night, Chris Phillipswas alread! in town, so he called a 2-hoursession of Al for the people who had justcompleted their c lass. Just Ett , Hon, fromBaltimore called me in San Francisco to tellme about this dancing and left directionsto the Lost & Found bar. I called her backto let her know that I needed no directionsas I was the first person ever mugged goingto the bar when it first opened in 1973.it seemed au'fully wierd square-dancing ina bar where all I had ever done was discoboogie and perform in drag!
Friday morning, my chauffer hosts Tom &Warren, Maury' (the immediate past presidentof Lambda Squares) and I left D.C. for RehobothBeach. We stopped in St. Michaels, Maryland,for crab cakes for lunch. Returning homeon Sunday, two carloads of us stopped in theMaryland state capital of Annapolis for aseafood dinner (no pun intended).
Ett, Dave and Russ did an excellent job ofcoordinating the weekend's events. Theremust have been about 200,000 door prizes.Since Baltimore considered this weekend tobe their banner dance for the IACSDC, theChesapeake Squares were able to give sizedonations to the New York Convention Contee and the Association. Next year is alrea.ry'planned.

We need to schedule a date ver! soon,before doing that I need to get an idea uho-'savai lable to assist in putt ing this show on.For the Si lver La Star Saloon to open i tsdoors, we need stagehands, lightine coordinators,set designers and choreographers (we're talkingsimple, but stunning. In short, simpl! stunning).\['e need folks to rustle up some vittles andsome fo lks to serve 'em. a l l o f thosepeople without whom a function cannot function.
PLUS - the main attraction - TALENT!
Actualll ', nerve, guts or chutzpah more thantalent, but I want singing, dancing, comedl',drama, rope tricks, cattle branding - whicheverMuse moves you. .Star turns or ensembleacts.

Whenever an Advanced Class starts somewhere,the question comes up for Plus dancers, newgraduates and "old hands" alike: should Igo to Advanced now, later, never? We'reabout to graduate a Plus Class, so peopleare wondering about Advanced. Here's whatseveral WSDers say about this (more people'sideas will be in future issues):
B0B BELLVILLE: I think that Plus should bea stopping point for awhile; new Plus graduatesshouldn't go on right now, but should dancePlus for at least several months to solidifytheir ski l ls, and to let dancing the cal lsbecome easier and more automatic.
Too man!' people rush on and end up poordancers because thei didn' t take t ime torealll ' dance the level - and each level canbe chal lenging rvi thin i tsel f . For a new Plusdancer, more cal ls would only be confusingat th is po in t .
BILL WHITEFIELD: I would sa) ' this appl iesto qry. level, llainstream up: To realll ' learna le 'u 'el , 1 'ou need to take the t ime to enjol 'i t , to p la ) ' w i th i t ! \ ' ou shou ld dance i t '
for at least 6 months or a !'ear - eachlevel of fers much more chal lenge than justiearning the cai is, i lu i _\ uu l r i iss uui urr alot of the fun if you rush on before ]'ouha'u'e fun with the level you've alread), learned!
EDDIE SNIITH: There's no need to go to Advanced,But i f a dancer does want to go on, I thinkan! one should wait a minimum of 6 months.preferabll' a ) ear, after-TilTuating at Pius.They' need to dance Plus for at least thatlong to cement their knowledge of Mainstreamand Plus.
A\NA DANIIANI: To advance or not to advance?There is no simple answer. In fact, the questionof whether or not to move on to Advancedseems to pose a whole new set of thingsto think about.
The first thing to remember is that onceyou have completed a class is when you canreally start to play! How many of ),ou havescreamed "You can't do that!" when hearingWheel and Deal from facing lines? Do !,oufeel a little insecure doing a Spin Chainand Exchange the Gears from left-handedwaves? These are only a minute fraction ofthe possible variations to some calls whichyou have already learned.
Think about what your reasons for wantingto rnove on to Advanced might be. Is it becauseyou think it 's the "cool thing to do"? If that'sthe case, -v-ou should consider that the Main-
stream and Plus halls at any Conventron orFly-in are the most popular among dancersof all levels.
Is your reason for wanting to move on toAdvanced due to a feeling that knowingcalls might make you a better dancerifeeling is that what makes you a better danceris knowing the calls which you have alreadyIearned and knowing them very well, notlearning more calls. To me, a better danceris someone who is a proficient Mainstreamor Plus dancer and not merely an adequateAdvanced dancer.
Here are a few questions for you to thinkabout before making your final decision:
- Do I know the correct definition ofal l cal ls, Basic through Plus, $i thoutprompting?
- Am I comfortable with dancing bothparts, Basic through Plus, no matterthe cal ier or the pace of the dance?
- Am I able to easilt ' and accurately'execute al l cal ls, Basic through Plus,from new and unusual positions eventhough they' may not be the "standard"posit ion?
if the answer to an! ui t i rese quesi iuan!thing other than a resounding "\ 'ES'very honest with ) 'ourself ) , then i t is m)belief that this is probably' too soon for 1'outo consider Advanced.
ROD I\IORRELL: This u'ould apply- to an!,one,at an! level - Do y'ou uant to rgal l l ' badl l ?And do you honest l l ' feel that you're a strcngPlus dancer? If so, !'ou should go on, butif not, you should wait, and strengthen y'ourdance level. \'ou can always go to Advancedif ! 'ou f eel l ike i t later. ( l danced at PIusmore than a y-ear until I f elt realll ' strong,before going to Advanced.)
FREEMAN STAMPER: Should a new Plus graduatego immediately to the advanced program?
No. At WSD, we take students from Basicthrough Plus \r,' ithout a break. Personally,I don't even favor that ilTangement, but that'sa fact of life. To De a proficient squaredancer, you must be able to respond to callsquickly. Only practice quickens your res'time. If you know the calls, but do not re.quickly, you stil l break down squares justas though you don't 'even know the cal ls.
Square dancing is not an IQ test. Give y'ourmind a rest and learn to pial' with the calls
A \^/EEKENDthrough Ph.rs. As was demonstrated at thePaul Waters take-no-prisoners Plus dance,there is more to coordinate than a column.What's the hurrl,? Afraid square dancing willcease before y'ou learn it all? Even if itdid cease, what will you do with all theeducation? Take some time to learn whereyou are in a square through all the Plus G'ilfnot just that you are in a square.
PATT\' WHITE: A lot of people are flockingto Advanced now, and for what seem to meto be the wrong reasons - I was one of them.Ml' friends were doing it, and though I wasn'ta strong Plus dancer, I guess I thought thatgoing to Advanced would somehow providesome outward sign that I was really' competentat Plus (whether it was mostl5 peer pressureor just m) ortr;n thing I don't knou,).
fuiywal,, Advanced was just stress for me.The calls, which are not actually' any' harderthan Mainstream or Plus calls, ,,r!ere vert'hard for me to learn. The reason. u,hich Ididn' t real ize at the t ime, is that APD isthe context at the Advanced level, and ! 'ouhave to knou those rllainstream and Plus defin-iEons in 1'our sleep! I t 's no fun at al l toslar,e over something, f eel ing inadequate al lthe t ime, when y'ou just don' t ha' , 'e the back-I,round.
So for dancers who are considering Advanced,I 'd suggest real l i ' honest i t ' appraising ! 'ourdancing level, using, Arr; la 's cr i ter ia to judee
! 'our APD ski i l . And i f 1.ou're real l t , a sol idPlus dancer, go ahead; but don' t do i t unlessyou're read5'.

There are two issues which are never broacheddirectly but which are the underpinnings formany discussions at Western Star. So here'sone this month; another to follow next month.
Ever heard these statements before? "squaredancing is fun." "Are we having fun yet?""lt doesn't make any difference if your squarebreaks down as long as you're having fun."So, is WSD a dance club or a social club?
The ultimate answer is that we are both.However, many people fail to see how thesetwo elements work as partners, sharing separatet ime-f rames. I think of their relat ionshipas overlapping circ les such as the fol lowing:
ln this diagram, A = dance; B = social ; andC = conf l ict . One can ver! , easi ly think ofarea C as the true overlapping of the tu,oelements, but i t is the area where the "warr ing"groups coni i ic i .
WSD is a square-dance club. We teach squaredancing. As a club, v!e neither teach norexecute two-step, bal l room, contra, disco,or an)' other tl 'pe of dance. Our primar)' rea-son for existence is square dancing. Squaredancing ma), look simple, but i t takes pat ience,pract ice, and concentrat ion for eight peopleto work as a unit to complete the dancef orm.
By the ver!' fact that we are a club madeup of voiuntary members seeking social contact,the social element of WSD is very, importantto each of us individually'. Because we areindividuals, we have di f ferent social needs;some need just the exercise and some needan extended family. All of our social needscan be met by WSD if we plan for socialact iv i t ies.
There are many reasons for the conflict area.Some examples are:
- I would rather be some other place,but my lover wants to be here.
- I 'm bored.
I reallS, prefer social interaction, butrt's nice to have a little exercise every oncein a whi le.
The conflict area manifests itseli in talkingin the square so that others cannot concent_rate or hear; taking the attitude that I'mright and you're wrong; ignoring the assistanueneeded by someone else; refusing to dancewith certain people; and the tist goesThe conflict exists because square danrequires human contact. When we crave tr._.social interaction more than we wish to contrib_ute to the square dance form of dancing,something has to give. And that, my friendi,is usually tempers.
When we come to dance, we should put ourentire effort into dancing. When we hosta social, we should expect only to socializewith each other. When we realize that danceand social are separate elements, then areaC can become cooperation, not conflict. Wecan cooperate because we have used our socialtime wisely' and learned to care about theneeds of others in the square.,k f rpiof *r|of {okrloloFf rFFlolo|<*rloFrlotot<*rlaFrlokrlolok*rlol<'k

What I envision for the QIj , {RTERLY SELECTi0NSis art lc les ab'out issues that concern seuaredancers in general and Western Star Dancersin part icular. As an IACSDC Club, WSD's danceaqt iv i t ies ar^e geared to maintaining our hobbyu r th rn the Cay- and Lesb ian Communi ty , . I t ma iseelil that our concerns are unique becauseof that interact ion - but most of the issues\\'e f ace as square dancers arise in the largersquare ciance community as wel l . Square dancingis a cross-cultural hobbt, and Clubs everywhere- Gay and straight, American and foreignwrest le with things l ike this:
What is a good mix of teaching, dancing andsocial act iv i t ies ior a Club?
.-iow can we satisfy our dancers' need for chal-enging dancing and st i l l have a program forall our dancers?
How do you get more people to help with thework of actual ly running a Club?
Should the off icers be the people who are actual l t 'doing the work, or should Club of f ice be arecognit ion for past service?
How do -vou select and maintain a dance leveifor ) 'our Club?
Whl do oto membet 's siop pari ic ipat i ; la, :ndwhat do you do to get them back?
Should the Club's emphasis be on retaining oldmembers, or on teaching neu' ones?
What do you do about members who get rust land don't "brGI up", so they lower the CIubdance leve l?
How do 5'ou deal with members who are rude?
i would l ike the QUARTERLY SELECTIO\S r0ref lect our thoughts on issues l ike these.

The Convention news is that WSD members wereall over the place, in the best possible way:
LEON DUBOIS came up with the great news thatan IACSDC Convention had its first all-blacksquare. A proud moment to be repeatillE-iiand again, we hope!
FREEMAN STAMPER was awarded the Golden Bootaward. Steffany accepted for him and was visiblvmoved by the honor.
MARIL\T\ MARTINYAK was elected president ofthe IAGSDC, a firsi for a woman.
TOM TRIPP was elected Secretary of the IACSDCgain.
ANNA DAMI,{NI was elected Administrator forthe Gay Callers' Association.
B0B BELLVILLE was made an Honorary Memberof "G0LDRUSH."
DON GRECO (SADIE) received Honorable Mentionin the "Honky Tonk Queen" contest the'd justgraduated from Mainstream and will be big comp-etition next year).
Callers ANDY SHORE, BILL WHITEFIELD, B0B BELL-VILLE, CHRIS BOLTON, HARLAN KERR and RICKWHEELER and our good friends in "GOLDRUSH"all made good strong impressions on the crowdsduring their sessions with the microphone.
SCOTI CAREY and JOHN C0NLEY and their crew/actors have developed quite a following withthe "Crossfire" series. Many are asking aboutit and looking forward to the next installment.
tsILL WHITEFIELD brought "BARBIE" to the EastCoast and has the pictures to prove it (shevas all over the Bie Apple)!
Our sister club t'squares Across the Border"presented a beautiful new banner to the IAGSDCto show the love and affection between thedancers of our two countries. They also had
the list of callers that they've signed for theIACSDC 1991 Convention and it's got namesyou know and love!
Ivlike DeSisto and Johnny Preston came with theirwives for a WSD midnight showing of "CrossfireIll." Actually, they had to try twice due toa mixup in scheduling, but they had a ball!These two great callers had several sessionswhere they called together and put us throughwild tips. It was hard to tell who had the besttime, the callers or the dancers.
The dancing and energy level was high. It wasgreat as alwa)'s to discover new callers forus to dance to; my favorite was a man namedClenn lVatthew (from the East Coast).
This was one convention where dancers' feethurt from dancing and sight-seeing. New Yorkdid not disappoint the IAGSDC. Thel' were readyand ever)'thing seemed in order. The Times Squaresdid their job well. Bravo!
