Flashback Seventies Dance at Knowlwood Restaurant ~ December 30, 2023; 6-9 PM

14952 Sand Canyon Avenue,
Irvine, CA 92618

As I have used in the future April Showers Rain Dance, “Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass; it’s about learning to dance in the rain!” Saturday night, we were learning to dance in the rain.

In the past, a person outside of our group has been very helpful with scheduling the dates at MoonGoat Coffee, unaware that the other person had not set the date, it was never scheduled on MoonGoat’s calendar. In the future, we will not rely on outside assistance, but we appreciate their past assistance. Thank you!

I apologize for the extra driving, time wasted, and other problems with this mistake on our part. I have seen and heard of people assisting us to spread the word and would like to thank all who have assisted in that regard. I know of Emi, Dodie, Mike, Tay, Scott, and Mary.

I encourage all who attend the dances to subscribe to our website, become a member of our Facebook group, or follow our Facebook page. That may help you to be connected if a similar situation arises in the future.

Yamo had volunteered to come and set lights at MoonGoat Coffee, and we want to acknowledge his time and assistance. Thank you, Yamo. Also, a special thanks to the owner of Knowlwood for allowing us to use their restaurant in an urgent situation. We must remember to support them when we return on February 24, 2023 with our Swinging Country Dance.

Although it was a slow start, people filtered in all evening and, as usual, didn’t want to leave, although the restaurant employees wanted to shut down and go elsewhere. It was a fun dance with some new people finding us, and we got them involved. Everyone commented that it was a delightful evening other than ending way too early.

Thanks again to all the helpers who participated and worked to bring together a successful dance!

Swingin Sixties Dance, MoonGoat Coffee Roasters, November 4, 2023

We had a great time traveling back to the sixties. Donny and the Walkers gave us lots of new and old favorites. There were sixties outfits with hairdos and go-go boots. Do you remember those days?

Sunny was back and sounding great with a new tune, La Bamba. This was our first time at MoonGoat’s new facility. There was more space, and we could stay later. Donny and the Walkers played three sets, ending at 11 pm.

Tropical Nights Dance at MoonGoat Coffee ~ August 12, 2023; 7-9:30 PM

Tropical Nights Dance, MoonGoat Coffee Roasters, August 12, 2023

Although it was a wonderful warm evening, the AC was cranking, and it was cool inside. Being a lazy summer day in August, the dancers were a little slow arriving, but eventually, with Donny and the Walkers sounding great, the shop was full and swinging. We took some time to wish Donny and Ben happy birthdays. With all the dancing, the evening went by too quickly.
Ten o’clock rolled in, and after tidying up the coffee shop and packing up the band, we were asked to leave. Over twenty folks came to mix it up at Norm’s for food, socializing, and Sequence. Beyond the Cinderella hour, only serious gamers remained.

Why Be Gloomy? Let’s Dance at MoonGoat Coffee ~ June 17, 2023; 7-9:30 PM

Band and guest vocalists

Just in time for the dance, summer finally arrived on Saturday with sunny skies during the day and temps in the upper seventies. It was a wonderful evening for a dance at MoonGoat Coffee with Donny and the Walkers. Great music by the band, plenty of people to dance with, a full house but not crowded, and social time with the band and friends afterward at Norm’s. It was another great evening in Costa Mesa!

A chorus line! Always something new with Donny and the Walkers!
