Ballroom Newsletter July 16th 2013
Dear Dancer,
There is going to be an extra Saturday evening class this week. Ordinarily we meet on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays, but we were offered the chance to do an extra weekend, so we took it. We have changed the format, at least for these extra sessions (possibly for the regular sessions as well, if this is well received). We will be teaching more dance steps but still have plenty of time for practice. Come try out this new approach and let us know how it works for you.
Other than that, an ordinary week… if learning how to move in harmony with the music of the spheres and the universe can be said to be “ordinary”. Come dance.
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.
