Costick Center News!!! 

September 8, 2023, is our Dance Lunch for Fall and our last one for this year!!  They have extended the cut-off date to register until September 6, 2023. 

The kitchen needs a head count for lunch. 

The cost for a Resident is $12 and nonresident is $15 which includes

class dancing and a great lunch. Starts at 11:30 a.m. until 2:00 p.m.

From your suggestions, I've changed up the program so

there will be more dancing for everyone. 

Come out and join the fun! 

***************************************************************

In Observance of the Labor Day Holiday!!! 

No classes at The Costick Center on Friday, September 1, 2023.

        ***************************************************************************

 We have an "Absolute Beginner" class on Fridays from 11:30 am until noon. You can still join this class.  You can sign up online or call the office.

Have you ever wanted to learn line dancing but don't know the steps or do you feel intimated watching the other dancers on the floor?  This is your chance to get a little more help.  This class is a half hour to help you get started.  You'll learn the step sequences and what they're called and some easy beginner dances.  When you feel more confident, no matter how long that takes for you, you can move into one of the other beginner classes on Wednesday or Friday. This is a fun way to get some exercise and dance with lots of different kinds of music. Contact the Costick Activities Center to register today and try it out and see if it's for you. You'll meet other nice people and make new friends.  Feel free to bring a friend with you.  Call 248-473-1800

Below and throughout this website are a few Rhinestone shirt design pictures I have made. (The pictures do not do them justice). I have over 200 designs (and still adding) and I'm in the process of adding pictures of them to this website.  Please contact me directly if you'd like to order or see any of my shirt designs. Each shirt is custom made for you with Rhinestone colors, extras, shirt colors and size. I have different shirts from tank tops to long sleeve shirts in black and a few other colors. (Depending on availability from my suppliers)

I also do custom Rhinestone work on shirts, jackets, shoes, socks, license plates frames, phone grips and more. 

Care Instructions for shirts: For best results hand wash in cold water and lay flat to dry.  They can be washed in the the washer turned inside out and placed in a laundry bag. To dry: lay flat or hang up.  Do not put them in the dryer.  

Contact me with any questions at: ILoveMyWork52@gmail.com

I have ordered from the Sway'D website (below) several times and

had no problem with any of the orders. For sizing check their

size chart, it's very accurate.  

*********************************************

To order directly from Sway'D's website: 

https://www.swaydshoes.com

They have sales often! Check back for your size & color. 

The website says your size may be back-ordered 4-6 weeks but I have ordered several times and they always arrive in 4-5 days. If you have any questions please ask me. 

******************************************************************************

If you'd like to order any shirt for the holidays send me an email, text, or ask me at class and I'll make your custom shirt just for you. 

The new playlist will be posted before the next dance. I'll also play as many requests as I can fit in.  

Some class costs have changed. If you don't see it posted please ask. See the "Class Locations" page for more information.

 The Round-Up, 5050 Dixie Hwy in Waterford. It's in the K-Mart plaza on the east side of the street north of Williams Lake and south of Andersonville Rd. We really like it there it's very nice. Wood Floor! (and they've already expanded it) There will be water, sodas, hot dogs & snacks for sale (now reduced prices). There is no alcohol allowed. (If there are snacks you'd like let me know and I'll see about having them carry them for us.) Please, give them your support, we love a good place to dance and want to see them continue in business.  

I've added a link to a Free Office program on the first Step Sheets page (A-E). If you can't open the documents on this website because you don't have an Office program this is a free alternative for you.  Download the program to a place on your computer you'll remember (examples: Downloads folder, Programs, or your Desktop) then open it so you can install it. It will tell you what to do. 

Just a reminder as businesses sometimes close down ( burn down) or discontinue classes....  if you don't support the things you like, they will be gone. If you take a dance class, even if it's not one of mine, go as regular as you can and support the business where you dance because it could be gone tomorrow. 

Line Dance Lessons, Southeast Michigan

Whether you are looking for a beginner class, Intermediate, advanced, or anything in between, I have a class for you. I cover a wide area in Southeast Michigan and hold line dance classes throughout the year. At this time I have several line dance classes per week located in Waterford, Birmingham, and 4 classes in Farmington Hills. (See current locations maps) 

The dances taught are old & new dances that are danced in class, in bars, at local area dances, and at dance workshops using all genres of music. You'll find nice and helpful people in every class.  Come and join us for lots of line dancing fun.

Feel free to look around and email me if you have any questions. This website is a continued work in progress so come back often to see what's new. 

In an earlier issue of the NTA newsletter, the following was shared and I feel it is worth sharing with all of you. Great information to keep in mind.

1.Increased muscle strength & endurance.

2.Increased energy.

3.The release of endorphins that give us a better outlook & make us "feel better" with a decrease in anxiety & depression type symptoms.

4. Chiropractic professionals encourage low-impact exercise as a necessity for keeping your spine healthy.

5. Movement lubricates the joints so that they move more freely.

6. The motion of the joints improves flexibility reducing the chance for injury.

7. Increased muscle strength leads to better posture and increased range of motion.

8.Can reduce the chances of having a heart attack, stroke, diabetes, & even some types of cancer.
