Ballroom Newsletter – Jun 25th 2013
Dear Dancer,
Well, (wheeze, pant puff) after a marathon weekend of dancing in the Ron Montez Dance Camp and two more days (counting today) of teaching our own Technique Workshop (and Burning Tango coming up this weekend at the McCloud Dance Hall), one would think that we would be danced out. But no, we’ve planned another great week of dancing for you, as we finish up our June schedule this week. And looking forward to it, too. Even if you haven’t been coming, join us this week for fun classes.
We have picked up lots of new fun steps from Ron Montez in Waltz, Cha-cha, Nightclub 2 Step and Quickstep that we will happily pass on to you when those dances come around. So you are set up for future fun, as well.
See you on the dance floor.
