Anna and
I had the honor of teaching the beginner
East Coast Swing lesson for
Big Bad Voodoo Daddy at Midsummer Night
Swing on Wed, July 22, 2009.
We started with about 80 people and
finished with about 300. By the
time the band started, there were over
3000 people in Lincoln Center's Damrosch
Park. It was amazing!
|
|
Sometimes
we have to break away from the dancing
to just have some fun in the back room.
Here are some of the
Hustle "Divas" working their poses on
Tues, July 14, 2009 at Dance Dimensions.
