January flew! And I think this is the earliest I have noticed retailers bringing out the red hearts right after Christmas..but yes the Red Month is here. For those of you that insist on coming up with some standout gift, consider attaching a gift certificate to your most creative gift.

The latest fun class I took at the congress was Eddie's boogaloo and pachanga. Dances I've done before but its the teaching method of this guy that makes him masterful. Simplicity, repetition, logical build and flava! Here's to all the 60+ dancers out there still contemplating weather or not they should try some dancing...DO IT!

Sometimes the beauty in learning is the notion of philosophy, a new perspective or new found respect for something ordinary. Every time I teach younger audiences, I end up the student and my understanding deepens.Thought I'd share my happy thought.

My Latin students ask why they should take Ballroom dancing. I say because you will find other levels to explore with what you already know...like a crossbody lead or backspot turn. Learn to inter-relate dance vocabulary into other dance forms and be the guy/girl that is ON the floor dancing WITH the music.This week: 2/28 Enjoy both Ballroom for Adults at 6pm AND Salsa at 7pm for only $15An
