Dear Dancers,
 Some
people find dancing scary! It is! If you're new to
dance or just trying a new style, the first time is usually
awkward. Your brain is trying to process information and
filter it into coordinated movement. Let's try to "come as
someone you're not" this week so we can scare ourselves a
bit...but next week, bring someone new to class and see if you
can make our scary dance community a bit less intimidating.
Have a great week - and
encourage someone to go dancing,
Erik

Are
You Ready For A Dance Event? |
|
A dance event is one
of the best way to improve your dancing
and meet many new people who also love
to dance.
Ready for your first dance event? |

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.

Pre-Register and Save Money: |
 Many
events offer discounts if you pre-register/pay.
Fact: Paying at the door can cost
20-50% more than the "early-bird" rates.
Fact: Many smaller events may
even cancel their functions if minimum pre-registration amounts
can not be achieved.
Fact: The stress level of event
director, promoter, guest instructor, hosting facility is
inversely proportional to the amount of pre-registered
attendees.
Bottom line:
Pre-Register and Save Money |
|
Protect Yourself Against Fraud: |
|
 Many
people are worried about paying online for dance stuff (events,
pre-registration, tickets, shoes, etc).
Even safe sites, such as PayPal, scare
people but it's 2008 and it's difficult to avoid paying for
things online. Plus many discounts are offered if you
pre-register early via online payments.
Erik's Advice:
Get a new credit card with a low limit
(like $100). That way you can make online purchases with
minimal worry about someone charging your life away.
It's an easy way to protect yourself
against credit card fraud and limits your exposure....best part,
you can adjust the limit to your comfort level.
