Dear Dancers,

I can't believe it's March!  I want to thank all the people who came out to Ligaya's West Coast Swing Workshops on Saturday at Rhythm in Norwalk.  It was an excellent Saturday afternoon.

This is week might be one of the most amazing first weeks of any month.  I'm hoping to see a lot of new beginners in all the classes (please let your friends know that this is the week to start).  It's also the first week of the the "Event" season.  I'll be at MAD Jam this weekend in the Wash DC area at a 3 day event with many of you.  Let's show them what the CT/NY area dancers can do.  Make sure you take advantage for the discount (30 days left) for WCS/Hustle/Salsa Fest in Stamford (see below).

See you on the dance floor,
Erik

Best of the Gold Coast 2008
It's that time of year again.  Moffly Publications (Greenwich Magazine, Westport Magazine etc.) would like to know what you feel are best venues of 2008.

Although there is no "Dance Venue" category (which is ridiculous if you ask me), please fill out your favorite Dance Location at the bottom of any part of the survey. 

I was an editor's choice in 2006....so I'm looking to get your vote for 2008.

At minimum, let's show that they should list some of the best Dance Venues.

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.
"Dyna-Sty" S37C, S937C
