waltz, East Coast swing, jitterbug
and the West Coast swing,” Bigam
said. “We try to do diverse dances.”

people wanted to learn,” he said. “It
goes in cycles from very high to now
where the numbers have gone
down. We are trying to build it up
with the west coast swing. It is a cool
cool dance. It incorporates quick
turn, spins with footwork, and
quick patterns.”
“The Silver Spurs provide an op
portunity to learn something new,”
Bigam said.
There are eight locations that
teach dancing, but only the Spurs
teach this style. “When we go to
clubs we stand out a lot more and
are in the spodight because the style
is different,” he said.
There are many forms of the
two-step, but the Spurs use more
footwork in the spins and turns.
Jennifer Froehlich, president of
the Spurs and a junior psychology
major, has been dancing since she
could walk, and joined the club for
sheer enjoyment.
“The club allows Aggies to meet
people with common dancing in
terests,” Froehlich said “It gives a
chance for people to do something
else on the weekend than drink.”
Terry Fraza, a junior English ma
jor, recendy joined the club with her
friends.
She started to take the classes
because she wanted to perfect her
dancing, and the Spurs do not re
quire participants to sign up with
partners.
“A girl is supposed to follow the
guy,” Fraza said. “When the guy
does not know the steps it makes
it hard to dance and follow the
music. So many people are afraid
of dancing because they never
learned the footwork. If people
want to dance and they like to
dance, they should get over their
fears and take the classes to get
where they want to be.”
The Spurs are not limited to the
club scene, they also have parties in
conjunction with the dance studio.
The Spurs also participate in
dance competitions. While the
team is young, last year the Spurs
placed second out of 17 groups in
their first competition.
Many of their competing mem
bers have graduated, except for
three, so they are in the process of
making routines and teaching
dances. They hope to take part in
dinner shows, events on campus
and in a friendly competition with
the Sam Houston State University
dance team. With the Silver Spurs of
Aggieland looking towards the fu
ture, and one victory tucked in their
belt, they look forward to their next
competition in April.
