Workshop Announcement!!

February is the most romantic month of the year, and in keeping with times, I will be teaching a Workshop on arguably the most romantic of all dances, Bolero, at Infinity Dancesport Center on Saturday February 12, 2011, 11AM to 1PM. This will be an Intermediate to Advanced level, so attendees must be experienced dancers. Admission to the class is $10 per person if paid in advance, or $12 at the door on the day of the Workshop. You can register with me whenever you see me or at Infinity. You can also register with Infinity using a credit card. If you have any questions, please leave me a message below, send me an email message at sshowers@cox.net, or call me at 619-322-4670.

I look forward to seeing you there.

Tango Workshop-Post Game Wrap-Up

Today we had an excellent turnout for the Tango Workshop. To those of you who attended, thank you for your support. We covered most of the material that I planned for today except for Section 1, step 4, the Roll Lunge & Contra Walks, which I will cover another time.

As I am sure you would agree, most of the material was challenging, to say the least, but I can say with some certainty that most of you managed to get through everything. However, if you are having some trouble and would like some coaching, schedule a private lesson with me either alone or with a partner.

Thank you for attending today.
