Delightful Dance Details – Feb 16
“I do everything the man does,
only backwards and in high heels!”
- Ginger Rogers
Hope you all had a lovely Valentine’s Day and holiday weekend. I had a nice time squid fishing on the ocean, except that my lunch ended up in the wavy waters! As for dancing, Thursday nights in North Park are shining brightly thanks to many referrals by students Randy, Lisette, Sue, and Jaime. Thanks you guys! Monday nights in Chula Vista are picking up too. Way to go Ann and Quito for not missing one class! Also, thumbs up go to Maria and Antonio for smiling way too much during class, and to William for keeping a firm dance frame.
Remember that your first class is free to try, so if you know anyone that wants to come dance, please let them know. Also, let me know if you have any special requests. For example, what genre do you want to learn that isn’t being taught? Which days and times are best for you if you can’t make the existing classes? Which part of town is closest to you if the classes are too far (North Park, La Mesa, Chula Vista, or other)? What else is standing in between you and learning to dance? I will consider your requests when creating future classes.
Below are some opportunities for you to spend quality time together and meet new people while learning to maneuver on the dance floor. Happy dancing!
