Ballroom Newsletter – July 2nd 2013
Dear Dancer,
A quick note regarding the Ballroom for Parkinson’s, though it was cancelled last week and this week, it will be continuing as regular class in future.
GOOD NEWS! We get to dance in the fabulous McCloud Dance Hall this coming weekend (July 6th). This may be the next to the last time we get to dance there this year (unless we can wrangle some more Saturdays in September and October), so you should all come and dance your hearts out/feet into oblivion/asses off/all of the aforementioned (your choice) in that wonderful hall.
It’s a big hall, so the more the merrier. We hope as many of our former students can come as well as our current ones. Have guests for the holidays? Bring them. They say they can’t dance? Tell them that that is why they take a dance class (we are teaching the Nightclub Two Step, an easy dance that can be danced to a wide variety of contemporary music, not just Ballroom). They say they don’t like it? Tell them they won’t know until they try. They say their mother was frightened by a troupe of travelling Flamenco Dancers with extremely large castanets while she was pregnant with them and they have been afraid to even tap their toes since the day they were born? Tell them…okay, they got me on that one. .
But encourage them to come so they can share in the fun you have been having. And don’t forget, we are there to help you out, so if you want a quick couple of steps in any dance, just ask. More information below (please notice our youth discount).
See you on the dance floor.

PRIVATE LESSONS are AVAILABLE to anyone who would rather learn in a more personal environment (i.e. no witnesses) or to anyone who wants to progress faster or to anyone who simply wants private lessons. Also, if you cannot make it to any of the group class times, private lessons are arranged in accordance with your schedule and at your convenience. Contact us by e-mail or telephone (number can be found below).
GROUP PRIVATES are also available. If you can’t make it to our classes and you think you have a number of friends and acquaintances who would be interested and you can get together, let us know and we can come to you at time more convenient to you.
