Dear Dancers,
My first attempt at
camping was so much fun. I was very out of my element - very
similar to a first day dancer in a class. But it was great!
Anna and I will be loading our back-packs to do it again soon. We
sent everyone two video greetings:
Hello from Beartown State Forest, MA
and
Another Hello
 SILVANA!
Need I say more??!!
This will be a day of Hustle to remember in
Connecticut. If you've never tried Hustle, then
this is your special day to learn from the best of the
best. If you're a Hustle veteran, then you'll
definitely want to get "old-schooled" in the upper level
classes.

Have a great week,

Why Derby??
Because Derby is a great central location for people as
far south as Westchester, NY and as far north as
Springfield, MA. We're trying to bring talent as
good as Silvana to as many people as possible.
Club Ballroom is a large space with a fantastic dance
floor...try it for yourself. |

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.

Protect Yourself Against Fraud: |
|
 Many
people are worried about paying online for dance stuff (events,
pre-registration, tickets, shoes, etc).
Even safe sites, such as PayPal, scare
people but it's 2008 and it's difficult to avoid paying for
things online. Plus many discounts are offered if you
pre-register early via online payments.
Erik's Advice:
Get a new credit card with a low limit
(like $100). That way you can make online purchases with
minimal worry about someone charging your life away.
It's an easy way to protect yourself
against credit card fraud and limits your exposure....best part,
you can adjust the limit to your comfort level.

Pre-Register and Save Money: |
 Many
events offer discounts if you pre-register/pay.
Fact: Paying at the door can cost
20-50% more than the "early-bird" rates.
Fact: Many smaller events may
even cancel their functions if minimum pre-registration amounts
can not be achieved.
Fact: The stress level of event
director, promoter, guest instructor, hosting facility is
inversely proportional to the amount of pre-registered
attendees.
Bottom line:
Pre-Register and Save Money |
