Dear Dancers,

I'm not sure about you, but the Holidays can be one of the most stressful times of year.  The idea of gift shopping for friends and family is even more difficult than creating a dance routine.  But behold....below are some ideas from within our very own dance community.

We have a very talented array of people that can provide you with an excellent idea with only 2 weeks to go before the gift giving begins.

Also - I've created some fun dance gift ideas if you can't get enough dance or if you know someone who is thinking of giving it a try.

Give the Gift of Dance - Encourage Someone to Start

Enjoy the Holiday Season,
Erik

Pictures


The West Coast Swing gang can really light up the room with smiles as they did on Mon, Nov 24.



Our very own Bruce Couillard and the band Electric Mayhem added that special something to WCS fun on Sunday, November 23 at Club Ballroom in Derby, CT.



It's nice to see 25 people on a Saturday afternoon enjoying Night Club 2-Step with Sabrina on November 15.

Cindy Dean

If you live anywhere in the Fairfield County area of CT, you'd be silly not to shop at the Palmer's Market.

It definitely has some of the best food and freshest produce in the area.

There's going to be an occasion when you need a beautiful, artistic cake or some other sinful gift

Megan is definitely an artist on and off the dance floor.  Her pastries and cakes will keep you dancing until the next holiday season.

And yup, she's the daughter of Cindy Dean.

Holiday Gift Ideas

Dance Package/Class Card

Nothing says "I love you" to a dancer like a dance package class card.  Give it as a gift or ask for it yourself.  Check out the Class Card.

Private Dance Lesson

Always wanted that one-on-one attention?  Perhaps you know someone who is too shy to to try a group class for their first time dancing.  Or perhaps your spouse or significant other wants to give it a try.  See the Private Lesson information.

Dance Photos

I've documented the last 3 years of CT dances & national events in photos.  Sometimes it's nice to point to a photo and say "that's me having fun"....it's also nice to give a cool shot to someone and say "it was nice dancing with you".  Look at the photos.

Gift Certificates
(the free gift....shhhhh)

Every first week of the month is FREE NEWCOMER week.  Download one of the Gift Certificates for Jan or Feb and give them to someone who you think might like to try dancing.  It's the perfect emergency gift, and it's Free. 
Download the January Gift Certificate.

2 Other non-dance gifts:
GPS

Nothing has kept the sanity in my relationship with Anna more than our GPS.  We rarely get lost, it's like seeing in the dark, we've barely used a map, and we haven't asked for directions in a year. 

Apple iPhone

I can't begin to tell you how nice it is to have a phone, camera, music and email all on one device.  It's expensive, but the cost to value ratio makes it worthwhile.
