For all of you that are sick of the rain, this video is for you. We can always find excuses not to dance, not to smile, not to have fun...we didn't :-P

June's West Coast Classes at Dance Dimensions in Norwalk has been off the charts.  The intermediate class has worked so hard to make the choreography to "Poker Face" their own. 

Erik & Sara (of East Bay Ballroom in Newport, RI) share a fun dance. Over 50 people attended the workshops & dancing on Sunday, June 14, 2009.

There were 51 people and lots of pictures from my Birthday party on Sunday, June 7 (actual bday is 6/3).  Happy Birthday to Jane, Pam & Gongyi and all the other June-born dancers.

May's West Coast Classes at Dance Dimensions in Norwalk was very successful.  I don't give out complements easily but this class really looked good, had fun and actually danced West Coast Swing.

 
Hustle - the perfect dance for any party.  Our Intermediate class IS a Party!  Take a look at our Week 4 on Tues, May 26.  See you every Tuesday in June.

 
Here's a sneak peak at our West Coast Swing intermediate class.  Most of the people in this video have been doing WCS for at least 6 months.

The Bronx Zoo was alive this weekend on Sat, May 9 2009.  My family went with my mom for Mother's Day.  It was a quick break from dancing to prepare for Week 2.

Kim & Eric make the intermediate Hustle class look easy with their smiles on Tues, April 21, 2009 at Dance Dimensions in Norwalk, CT.

Silvana explains the magic of Hustle at the workshops at Club Ballroom in Derby, CT on Sat, April 18.

Dance Etiquette

Have you ever wondered:
If it's appropriate to join an "Intermediate" class?  Whose role is it to ask someone to dance?  Should people wear shorts and dress socks?  How sweaty is too sweaty?
