Dear Dancers,

Week 1
FREE
Newcomers |
This week is Week 1.
All newcomers are FREE. Please tell someone about us or
forward this newsletter. Print out the Gift Certificate
below and give it to someone. --- Do it now!
Peer Pressure
still works!!! - Remember the days before email, when you
actually had to call someone to invite them to go dancing.
That's right! Pick up the phone, tell them about your dance
experience, a web site, and PERSONALLY INVITE THEM. (you'll
thank me later) |
August is going to be
a HUGE dance month: Guest DJs (Steve Neeren & Bobby Morales), Guest
Instructor (Robert Royston), and Great Events (Summer Hummer, Hudson
Swing Affair, & NY Hustle Congress).
Congratulations to all the
dancers who performed last Friday in the Choreographer's Showcase.
A major milestone has been reached. We'll do it again soon....but
be ready, sometimes these opportunities happen with short notice -
that's show-biz.
See you on the dance floor,
Erik |

The
Hustle & West Coast Swing performance
was so much fun that we had to celebrate
our achievement at the Black Bear Saloon
in South Norwalk.
Here are the pictures of our after-party
on July 31.

I can't
begin to tell you how proud I am of the
25 Intermediate Hustle and West Coast
Swing classes for their amazing
performance at Dance Dimension's
Choreographer's Showcase.
Here is the video of our performance on
Fri, July 31.

West
Coast Swing has been on fire this month.
It started with DJ John Festa and will
conclude this month with both
Intermediate classes performing in Dance
Dimension's Choreographer's Showcase
this Friday.
Here's what WCS Week 4, Thurs, July 23
looked like. Newcomers can
start the first week of August!

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.
