Dear Dancers,
Another weekend, another great dance event.
This time Anna and I were at the Chicago Classic where we performed our
"Ordinary Day" routine in the Sat night show. I was also lucky
enough to place 4th in the "All-Star" Jack & Jill division with Angie
Cameron. Most importantly, the event had great late-night dancing.
The pictures of the social dancing will be posted later this week.
This week I host another Platinum
Party in NYC (Fri) and the following week we all go to the renowned West
Coast Swing event, "Boston Tea Party". In April, we'll be at Swing Dance
America and in May, CT has it's first
WCS/Hustle/Salsa Fest. Did you book your room??
See you on the dance floor,
Erik |

Test
Your Balance |
|
Be
prepared to be humbled.
I was.
This
article from the New York Times will
highlight why it so important to use
your eyes for balance (especially for
turns).
"While
certain declines with age are
unavoidable, physical therapists,
physiatrists and fitness experts have
repeatedly proved that much of the sense
of balance can be preserved and even
restored through exercises that require
no special equipment or training. These
exercises are as simple as standing on
one foot while brushing your teeth or
walking heel-to-toe with one foot
directly in front of the other...."

Judge Me By My Tights
This article written by one of
the soloists with American Ballet Theater is a great article
for parents of children or people who might know someone
with children. It gives a great recommendation for a

looking to get your vote for 2008.

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.
