100 days of dance 1-11-12

Today from 1-3 there is an afternoon social I will be attending.
For only $7.00 anyone can participate in a dance lesson and open dancing.
No partners are needed and there are even snacks & refreshments included.

Troy teaches the lesson, and Julie is there to assist. Because most people work during the day, the dance is less crowded and it is a great opportunity for you to get more comfortable with your progressive dances like Watlz, Tango & Foxtrot when a leader must use good floorcraft in navigating around the other couples.

Someone sent me a very interesting article that explained how social dancing helped keep the brain young and wards off Altzheimers because of the neural pathways created by the decision making process involved in using both sides of the brain and body in making judgements while in motion. I will share bits of it with you on Sundays!

day 2:100 days of dance!

Day two of my 100 days of dance involved some one on one instruction and a group class with 7 others!

We reviewed an International Rumba routine where I am still challenged with a gold sequence of turns known as the 3 Threes in the DVIDA syllabus. Need to focus on my spotting in turns.

Reviewed a Jive routine that is new and cannot be danced to strict timing yet but getting closer. I am proud of how quickly I picked up the choreography. High knees! Need to add some shaping and styling.

Next covered the elements of of what will become a ChaCha routine - with timing changes! Exciting as this is the largest number of routines I have had in the can at one time, they are more complex, and I am adding more and more.

The group class was a drop in, meaning any one at any level can show up to join for $10 for an hour's instruction. It's a great way to go and try a dance and see if it is for you. Tonight was salsa, which is so popular in our area you can be out dancing 7 nights a week.

What will day 3 hold? A foxtrot routine! Hope it will be ready before Valentines Day.

Know someone with a holiday party to attend this year who's looking to impress? Here's a sure way to do so!
