Poll: Fall Workshop Ideas

At last night’s dance we floated the idea of offering a workshop in conjunction with one of our upcoming dances, probably in early fall.  We want to get some feedback about what people are interested in.  We are considering offering 2 or 3 one-hour workshop sessions in the afternoon, followed by a dinner break, and [...]

Sunday Night Dance Parties, recent and future

Thanks to everyone who braved the heat in order to attend, last night was another successful Sunday Night Dance Party.  We heard and appreciated some very kind compliments about our musical selections and discussed some great ideas for future Sunday night events.  Here are some pictures from last night:

Chicken arms, beach balls, and a sharp poke in the knee

I spent 2 hours yesterday at a workshop at Academy Ballroom in Atlanta learning tango technique from Eddie Ares & Nancy Senner and spins/turns technique for Latin & Rhythm from Jorge Morales.  It was lots of hard work for brain and body but so worth it.  Watching experts like Eddie, Nancy, and Jorge break down [...]

Ups and downs along the way

We’ve been lying low for the past few weeks because Daniel has been having trouble with his right knee hurting and swelling, especially when he dances.  He saw his doctor last week and the doctor advised him not to dance till he’d seen an orthopedist.  Today we heard back from the doctor’s office and they [...]
