New Feature for Serious (or Humorous) Dancers

I have added a new section to this blog that I hope you find useful. It is called Dance Style and Technique. I realize that some of the terminology that Ballroom Dance instructors use can be unclear. Therefore, I am producing a series of Technical Papers that are designed to explain and clarify different areas of dance instruction.

The first one which is now available for you to download is called, "An Explanation of Alignments and the Line of Dance." The paper is linked at right under, "Dance Style & Technique."

Your feedback would be greatly welcomed.

As you probably know by now, there is no class tonight. I am rather disappointed about it myself. However, I will be having my workshop. Since I know that many of you were planning to register at tonight's class, I have a deal for everyone who sees this message. Come tomorrow to the workshop, details of which can be found at this link, mention this blog posting, and I will give you the advanced registration price of $10.

WAIT!! It gets better. I am also hosting the "Ballroom Magic" dance party at Infinity. From 8PM to 10:30PM tomorrow you can dance to good music, participate in a mini class lesson, and enjoy some light refreshments. The advertised price is $10. However, if you come to the Workshop, you can come to the party for just $5. Try out the new stuff from the Workshop for half price.

When it comes to your weekend dancing fix, I have got you covered.

Party Announcement!!!

On Saturday, June 18, I will be hosting the "Ballroom Magic" party at Infinity Dance Center from 8PM-10:30PM. Come on out for a fun evening of dancing to great music. In addition, I will be teaching a short lesson for all to enjoy about mid way through the party, as well as having a mixer or two. Admission is $10 per person. Refreshments are included.

Between the workshop in the morning and the party in the evening, this will be a great way to spend your Saturday.

See you there.

Workshop Announcement!!

Put the following date on your calendar:

Saturday June 18, 2011
11AM-1PM

I will be teaching a workshop entitled, "Six Things That Every Ballroom Dancer Should Know." In it I will teach six different movements, mostly body lines but also some traveling moves as well, that are common to most Smooth dances. They can be grouped with familiar figures, and will greatly enhance your dancing. I will not only teach the figures themselves, but also show you how to incorporate them into your repertoire.

This is a workshop for EXPERIENCED dancers who are familiar and comfortable with Waltz, Tango, and Foxtrot. Most who have attended the Intermediate or Advanced Classes at Balboa Park or have a similar level of experience will enjoy the Workshop.

The Workshop will take place at:

Infinity Dance Center
4428 Convoy Street
San Diego 92111, just south of Balboa Avenue next door to Office Depot.

Admission is $12 per person or $10 if paid in advance. You can get the discount rate by registering at Infinity or any time you see me on or before Friday June 17, 2011.
