Ballroom Newsletter – Feb 26th 2013

Dear Dancer,

 

Good news!!:  The Foxtrot Workshop is going to continue into March and will be held Saturday evenings from 5:00 – 7:00 pm March 2nd, 16th and 30th. This workshop is focusing on International Style which is the flow-ier, fly-ier, funnier (from the word “fun”, not “funny”) of the two. This workshop is still open to beginners, so come learn this most elegant dance and learn to move out.

 

Better news!!!:  We are still holding our usual Saturday night classes and practice sessions on March 9th and 23rd with a class from 6:00 – 7:00 pm and the practice session from 7:00 – 9:00pm. That way those of you who want to can dance every Saturday night. Dances to be announced the week of.

 

Best News of all!!!!:  I’m through writing today.

 

See you on the dance floor.

11:00 – Noon – Amalgamations. This month’s dance: WALTZ

 

This class uses basic Bronze (and some Silver) steps to develop and strengthen your ability to dance smoothly and boldly (which, just between you and me, is where the real fun is hidden). The International Technique also applies to American Style dances and will strengthen ones ability to have more power and control when dancing in the American Style.

 

Cost: $10 per person for two hour session.

 

Come to the whole series to get the full benefit or just drop in when you can -there are benefits to be gained from each session.
