Balboa Park Dancers March Syllabus

Balboa Park Dancers February Syllabus

I have just posted the syllabus for the month of February, linked in the Documents list at right. Considering how abbreviated this month was, we actually covered quite a bit of material. I hope you enjoyed yourselves.

Some of you have been having trouble making printed copies of the syllabi. Try this:

1. Click on the link to download the document. It will take you to a Google Docs page.
2. On the upper left portion of the page, underneath "Google Docs," select "File."
3. There are two options for printing. One is "Print (PDF)" which seems like the obvious choice, and will likely work. Try that. If it works, you are done. If it does not work, read on
4. The other option is "File >Download Original," which will open it as a .pdf file. Depending on your system, one of several things will take place:
1. It will kick start Adobe Acrobat and open the document in your browser, which you can then print.
2. A dialog box asking permission to download a file may appear, Select "Yes" or "OK" or whatever is the affirmative choice. This will likely open it once it is downloaded.
3. If you use a Mac, it may give you the option of opening it in Acrobat or Preview (Apple's default .pdf program). Either one works fine.

I hope that this was helpful, but if you are still having difficulty, contact me. This weekend we begin a new series of dances, Foxtrot and Salsa.
See you there.

Bolero Workshop Syllabus

I have just posted the syllabus for tomorrow's Bolero Workshop, which you can download from the "Workshop Syllabus Documents" list at right. If you wish to print it, follow these instructions:

• After following the link, select "File" just above the document.
• Select either "Download Original" or "Print (PDF)." Either way, it will ask to save or open it as a .pdf file.
• Once it is downloaded to your computer, you will be able to print it.

I look forward to seeing you there.
