Jonathan Hill - Activities for Fun

Figure Skating

I love figure skating and enjoy doing it.  Here are some useful links:

• rinklink.com Check your local phone book first and check rinklink second.  A comprehensive national listing of ice skating rinks in the U.S.
   
• New England Interclub Council (NEICC) Member of the USFSA
   
• USFSA Homepage The United States Figure Skating Organization web page
   
• ISI Homepage The Ice Skating Institute web page

• Veteran's Memorial Skating Rink - The West Hartford public skating rink. 
   
• The International Skating Center of Connecticut - A local private rink

Square Dancing

Square dancing is good, inexpensive, clean fun that I strongly recommend.  I am plus level dancer and have been dancing for just over one year.

• South Windsor Square Dance Club (SWSDC): South Windsor, CT USA - I am a member of the SWSDC. 
   
• The Powder Mill Barn: We hold our club dances at the Powder Mill Barn and like to think of it as our barn.  The Barn is actually owned by Ralph Sweet, who an excellent contra-dance caller.
   
• Connecticut Association of Square Dance Clubs(CASDC): The mighty CASDC is a good listing of local events here
   
• Western Square Dancing dosado.com: The dosado webpage is an amazing resource.  I find the links to other webpages to be particularly useful, especially those with the animated moves.  When will I ever master spin-chain and exchange-the-gears?
