Dear Dancers,

It has been a great 2008 - I want to thank all of you for making my life very fulfilling.  As we move forward into the holiday season, please remember how dance has helped, changed or enriched your life.  We have developed a community of West Coast Swing and Hustle dancers that are very welcoming to new people...please invite anyone to come and join us for the holiday season (First time is free for newcomers during the first week of Dec).

                                         This week - WCSwing is on MONDAY (at 7pm) because of Thanksgiving.

Have a great week & Happy Thanksgiving,
Erik

Are You Ready For A Dance Event?

A dance event is one of the best way to improve your dancing and meet many new people who also love to dance.

Ready for your first dance event?


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.

What Happy People Don’t Do
NYTimes Article

I know - big surprise.

"Happy people spend a lot of time socializing....and reading newspapers — but they don’t spend a lot of time watching television, a new study finds.

That’s what unhappy people do.

Although people who describe themselves as happy enjoy watching television, it turns out to be the single activity they engage in less often than unhappy people"

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
