Daniel & Laura

The marvelous Dolan Maples (He’s a Ladies’ Man) just called and reminded me I hadn’t yet put a post on our site about this weekend’s Sunday Night Dance Party. Come join us Sunday, July 25 at 7 p.m. at the Howard Community Club for an evening of casual dancing. Admission is $5 and [...]

Well, hundreds.  Okay, several dozen.
Yesterday was the Madison Studio recital at Zuver Center and we had a great time.  Huge thanks are due to Kelly & Steve for coming out to cheer us on and to video our performance for us.  We got lots of positive feedback on our performance, which is always wonderful to [...]

Friday afternoon is dress rehearsal for the Madison Studio’s recital.  We’ll test-drive our tango on the stage at Zuver Center before rolling it out for an audience on Saturday.  Friday evening is Paula’s First Friday dance at the Sports Hall of Fame downtown.  Paula is giving a complimentary lesson from 7:30 to 8:00, then everyone [...]

(insert dramatic orchestral flourish here)
At our lesson today with Eddie we told him about the recital performance.  He thought we should do a tango because it is more dynamic & dramatic than waltz or foxtrot.  We got to work on song suggestions and he came up with a good one: “Pa’ Bailar–Siempre Quiero Mas” by [...]

This afternoon, Daniel and I went over to the Madison Studio to practice for an hour or so before the studio’s recital rehearsal.  As we were getting ready to leave and I was paying for a new dance card, one of the moms asked if we would be performing in the recital.   I said (maybe [...]

What is a “Soirée,” exactly? This past Friday, the new president of Central Georgia Technical College posed that question at the CGTC Foundation’s Spring Soirée. He then explained that a soirée is just like a shindig, except you have to dress up. That’s a good enough answer for me!
This particular soirée was a [...]

On Friday, April 16, Daniel and I, along with Paula East, visited Carlyle Place to perform an exhibition at their Red Hat Society luncheon.  Paula had arranged to do a short demonstration with Will Norris, the activities director (and favorite beau of all the Red Hats, I’m fairly sure).  Then Daniel and I got to [...]

Daniel and I will be at this event along with Paula and some other people from our group.  We’ll be helping teach some informal lessons and get the dancing going.  It should be a great evening; the ticket price includes a seated dinner with steak and salmon as well as live music in a gorgeous [...]

Last night’s Cherry Blossom Festival Diamond Ball was even more lovely than expected. I always forget how pretty the Macon City Auditorium is and how nice it is to see everyone in black tie. Of course, the snacks from Satterfield’s, Janeane’s, and Nu-Way don’t hurt, either! Everyone looked gorgeous and the bands–Celebration [...]

Looking backward, last night’s USA Dance monthly social was big fun.  Excited as always to see some new faces.  Our chapter is hoping to grow to 100 members this year–if last night was any indication, I bet we’ll get there.
Looking forward, next Friday is this year’s Cherry Blossom Ball!  It’s one of my favorite dance [...]
