Dear Dancers,
What a fun weekend at
Swingin' Into Spring! Congratulations to Ken Mercik and his staff
for hosting a great Connecticut event. It was great to have so
many familiar faces there. I also had the honor of winning 1st
Place in the Advanced West Coast Swing Jack & Jill comp (Thanks to Lee
Mansfield (NJ) for a fun dance).
I'll be bringing
Hustle to Westchester this Friday so I hope you can come and support the
cause. And...you only have 3 weeks until our own event
(WCS/Hustle/Salsa Fest) in Stamford, CT. See Below.
Happy Cinco De Mayo,
Erik |

Anna
Speaks: Foot Pain |
|
It has been
so much fun getting a chance to visit
with everyone at all the recent dance
events!
Unfortunately,
one recurring conversation I've had
centers around foot pain resulting from
all that time on the dance floor.
 As
promised, I'm sending along a link to a
website that supplies many different
inexpensive items for managing anything
from bunions to plantar fasciitis.
My personal favorites are the
toe spreaders and
bunion sleeves to help readjust a
slipping bunion.

Best
of the Gold Coast 2008 |
 It's
that time of year again. Moffly
Publications (Greenwich Magazine,
Westport Magazine etc.) would like to
know what you feel are best venues of
2008.
Although
there is no "Dance Venue" category
(which is ridiculous if you ask me),
please fill out your favorite Dance
Location at the bottom of any part of
the survey.
I was
an
editor's choice in 2006....so I'm
looking to get your vote for 2008.
At
minimum, let's show that they should
list some of the best Dance Venues.

Dance
Shoes / Sneakers |
I have various
types of dance shoes for different
occasions. Some of my shoes
look like regular street shoes,
while other look like ballroom
shoes. The pair that I wear
most frequently are Dance Sneakers
by Sansha. These are perfect
for jeans but look horrible if worn
with shorts or skirts.
