Video of the Week:

With Samba being the next dance in the Level (1) Course, and coming up soon in the STEP and Bronze Medal Programs, I thought a quick look at how Samba might be danced in a social setting might be useful.

Dancers are such well rounded people. Not only can he dance (!) but came very close to destroying James T. Kirk! ("Wraith of Khan" for all you non-Trekkers ;)


Joke of the week: 

Somethings are easy to learn on-line. Others? Not so much!


Video of the Week

Each week we receive lots of emails with dancers sharing links to some great videos.

Thought we'd share them and each week well include one here - enjoy!


Monthly Social This Saturday

The July Social dance at the Studio is this Saturday the 17th.

Cold soft drinks and nibbles supplied. If you want to bring a plate that's great, and any thing stronger to drink that's up to you.

Friends and casual dancers welcome - only $5 at the door.


Winter Warmers!

Getting out of the house on this cold -and sometimes rainy - nights to go to class is sometimes a challenge! Thanks to everyone for making the effort!

Another way to say "thanks", especially when you go out of your way to introduce a new dancer, is with a Winter Warmer Bonus.

Every time you introduce a new dancer to the Studio you already receive 2 Bonus Points on your DanceCard.

For the August Course, in addition to the above, you'll receive a Bonus $25 discount off your normal Course fee for EVERY new dancer you introduce! Yes, EVERY new dancer.
