Dear Dancers,
** Happy Holidays ***
Can you actually believe
that we're down to the last 2 weeks of 2008? I am very happy to
know so many of you during this holiday season. Dance has made my
life very fulfilled in more ways than I can describe. It's great
to dance with so many of you and to have gotten to know some of you in a
personal way. It's truly an honor to have brought in some of my
dance friends as guest instructors and to finally have been able to
collaborate with Bruce Couillard so he could play his amazing saxophone
while we dance to his tunes (on this Monday night).
I'm hoping that some of the "almost"
forgotten faces take a break from shopping and come join our merriment.
So come out - have fun.
Give
the Gift of Friendship, Love and Movement - Encourage Someone to Start
Dancing
Enjoy the Holiday
Season,
Erik

is a regular member of the Westchester dance scene.
If it weren't for her good word, I would have never been

Gyongyi Olajos
Starscape Ceilings
Gyongyi
is an up and coming member of our Hustle community.
But in
many ways she's already a "star". Gyongyi creates
star-painted ceilings. It's truly an incredible
effect that can transform the most boring night into a
magical moment.
It
could be the most unique idea of 2008!

Cindy Dean
If you
live anywhere in the Fairfield County area of CT, you'd
be silly not to shop at the Palmer's Market.
It
definitely has some of the best food and freshest
produce in the area.
Best
yet, it's owned by Cindy Dean (Palmer)...and been in her
family since 1921.

Megan Dean
There's
going to be an occasion when you need a beautiful,
artistic cake or some other sinful gift
Megan
is definitely an artist on and off the dance floor.
Her pastries and cakes will keep you dancing until the
next holiday season.
And
yup, she's the daughter of Cindy Dean.

Dance
Package/Class Card
Nothing says "I love you" to a dancer like a dance package class
card. Give it as a gift or ask for it for yourself.
Check
out the Class Card.
Private
Dance Lesson
Always wanted that one-on-one
attention? Perhaps you know someone who is too shy to to
try a group class for their first time dancing. Or perhaps
your spouse or significant other wants to give it a try.
See the
Private Lesson information.
Dance
Photos
I've documented the last 3
years of CT dances & national events in photos. Sometimes
it's nice to point to a photo and say "that's me having
fun"....it's also nice to give a cool shot to someone and say
"it was nice dancing with you".
Look at the photos.
Gift
Certificates
(the free gift....shhhhh)
Every first week of the month
is FREE NEWCOMER week. Download one of the Gift
Certificates for Jan or Feb and give them to someone who you
think might like to try dancing. It's the perfect
emergency gift, and it's Free.
Download the January Gift Certificate.
2 Other non-dance gifts:
GPS
Nothing has kept the sanity in
my relationship with Anna more than our GPS. We rarely get
lost, it's like seeing in the dark, we've barely used a map, and
we haven't asked for directions in a year.
Apple
iPhone
I can't begin to tell you how
nice it is to have a phone, camera, music and email all on one
device. It's expensive, but the cost to value ratio makes
it worthwhile. |

Dance Goes Green |
|
Movement on the dance floor at
Club Watt in Rotterdam, which opened last month, generates
electricity used in the light show.
There is a new
type of dance floor that harvests the energy generated by jumps
and gyrations and transforms it into electricity. It is one of a
handful of energy-generating floors in the world...
