Beginners at 7pm,
Intermediates at 8pm
I have realized that
having a weekly basic class where beginners could start at
any week was not necessarily a good idea. This is
because if you give someone the idea that they can start any
week....they won't come on any week. This is because
people need deadlines, and more importantly, goals.
So, I've gone back to my original
schedule that New Beginners can start the first week of the
month (and even start on the 2nd week). |

Top New
Year's Resolution
The Dance Answer |
Here are some of
the top 5 New Year's Resolutions:
| #3 - Learn Something New. |
|
Learning something new is the best way to keep your
mind sharp. Some people do crossword puzzles
or Sudoku. I find that trying to learn
the footwork of a dance or syncopations is an
excellent way give a work out to your brain.

|
#4 - Spend more time with
Friends & Family. |
|
The
Southern CT dance community currently has 2 family
units who take class together, the Deans and the
Venerusos. It's inspiring to see these
family's come together 1-2 times per week to learn
the same language and even dance together.
Oddly enough, family is sometimes a very subjective
term (you can pick your friends but you can't pick
your relatives)....so I consider people in my dance
community as part of my extended family. And I
am also proud to call them my friends.
Dance can be a great way to bond with your real
family or create your family out of the friendships
you've created on the dance floor.
Friends are Great for Your Health |
| #5 - Add Spark to your Existing
Relationship. |
|
Dancing can add an extra dimension to your
relationship. Think of it as learning a
language together. If the correct
procedures are followed (not correcting each
other), a couple can find something unifying in
their experience together.

Dance
Shoes / Sneakers |
I have various
types of dance shoes for different
occasions. Some of my shoes
look like regular street shoes,
while other look like ballroom
shoes. The pair that I wear
most frequently are Dance Sneakers
by Sansha. These are perfect
for jeans but look horrible if worn
with shorts or skirts.
