End Of The Year News And Announcements

Wow! This has been a whirlwind month in a roller coaster ride of a dance year. So much has gone on during 2011 including workshops, new classes, and performances, not to mention Musical Class Instructors at Balboa Park.

I have posted the December Viennese Waltz and Nite Club Two Step syllabus, which is linked under "Balboa Park Dancers Syllabus Documents." Please feel free to download for your perusal.

Change of Venue for Balboa Park Dancers

As you may know, the Balboa Park Club will not be available to use during most of January 2012 while the city refinishes the floor and performs other repairs. However, that does NOT mean that your dancing has to come to a screeching halt. The Intermediate and Advanced classes will still take place (in slightly different form; more on that shortly). Scott Dodson and I, teaching Advanced and Intermediate, respectively, will move them over to Infinity Dance Center (linked on this page) during the time that the Park is not available. Here is a rundown of what will go on:

• Fridays-January 6, 13, and 20; 7:05-7:55PM: Waltz only
• Sundays-January 8 and 15; 7:00-8:30PM: Waltz and West Coast Swing (two 40-minute classes with a 10-minute intermission)

The cost for the classes is $5 per person for each evening. On Friday there is a dance party hosted by Infinity Dance Center which you can attend for an additional $8. We will return to Balboa Park on Sunday January 22 at the normal times.

Tuesday Class At Infinity

Mark your calendars for Tuesdays in January at 7:00PM, for that is when I will be teaching a series at Infinity Dance Center on American Style Rumba. This will be a Basic to Intermediate level class, by which I mean I will start at the beginning with a few recurring basic elements, but I will quickly go to the good stuff, including technique, style, and partnership of this timelessly contemporary dance. Check out the promotional flyer for vital information.

The series runs January 10, 17, 24, and 31. The cost is $10 per person, per class or $32 for the whole series if paid on or before January 10. Cash, checks, and plastic accepted. There will be no class on January 3.
