Ballroom Newsletter, Siskiyou County & Northern California – August 1st, 2023
Dear All,
August! The last of the truly hot months. We are slowing everything down this month to two slower dances: Tango on Wednesdays (slow but still dynamic! -come see how!) and Rumba on Thursdays (the slowest, most sensuous of all the Latin dances!). Cool room, slow dances. A most promising month for learning.
And since Rumba is the slowest of all the Latin dances, it is the easiest one for beginners and the easiest one to develop that truly sensuous movement that all of the Latin dances take advantage of. It is all basic movements, but, as we have said many times before, the most effective and efficient way of moving ends up being the most beautiful way of moving (with no extra effort on your part to look “beautiful”). We will give you the basics, you will give us the beauty. Win-win.
And what can we say about Tango that hasn’t been said already (except, possibly that it cures warts, which has never been said before because it doesn’t)? It’s a whole different kind of movement that will expand not only your vocabulary of steps, but also your ability to move in different idioms, which will strengthen your abilities in all idioms (the different ways of movement in the different dances).
And strong is good, right? Not to mention it is a really fun dance (for all of its pretense of being deadly serious {which is part of the fun of Tango}). So: more steps, more movement ability, more fun. How could anyone go wrong learning Tango?
Come join us this week for another wonderful month of fabulous dancing (yours).
Be seeing you in classes.
Cheers,
Rick and Peggy Nixon
