The Sturgis READ club and the students of the grades 6 and 7 class at the Sturgis Composite High School joined together for three afternoons of old time dancing.
The dancing took place over the course of the year and concluded May 24.
Twenty-one students accompanied by their teachers, Sherry Lesser and Janice Beatty, were put through many dances which were instructed by 16 different senior club members.
鈥淭he music echoed through the centre and brought lively action to the READ club," said Betty-Lou Skogen. "This is the second year that the class has participated in this cross-generational activity.
鈥淭he youth have abundant energy and the seniors have years of dancing experience,鈥� Skogen said. 鈥淚t has been delightful watching the young people quickly learn and practice the steps."
The dances learned by students this year featured the waltz, two-step, heel-and-toe polka, butterfly, barn dance and polka.
The READ club members look forward to those fun-filled afternoons which are to resume in the fall.
