Ballroom Newsletter, Siskiyou County & Northern California – March 12th 2024
Dear All,
Ready for the 2nd week of Samba and Waltz? I know we are! If you came to class last week, so are you! And if you weren’t able to make it last week, come this week anyway and you will be made ready. We will be reviewing the figures we taught last week (so you will have missed nothing) and you will then be ready for this week’s new figures.
Also, (Wednesday) we will be familiarizing everyone with Samba Technique this week (and continuing throughout the month), so you can start developing those skills, as well. Remember when we mentioned that in one month, the Samba had us losing three belt holes without losing a pound? Well, Samba Technique is what made that possible. There is a dual process of left/right as well as up/down that combine to make a circular action (which is what gives Samba Technique its unique characteristics).
Sounds dangerous? Well, it is! But fear not, we will guide you safely through it because: “Danger” is my middle name (well, actually, it’s “Dagner”, no thanks to a clerical error made at the hospital . . . but it was supposed to have been “Danger”!). You will all come out of it safely and (if not immediately, then one day in the not-so-distant future) with flawless and crowd-impressing Samba Technique. Dare yourselves.
And even though Samba Technique will not help you at all in the Waltz itself, the body control that you will be developing whilst strengthening your Samba Technique can only help you become better at expressing the elegant smoothness that the Waltz epitomizes. Again, dare yourselves.
In short (if it is not already too late), come to both classes for the best effect. We look, as always, forward to your presences in all of our classes.
Cheers,
Rick “Dagner” Nixon and Peggy “Dagnerless” Nixon
