New 7:00pm starting

and
possible performances throughout the night!
(bring the kids...and grandparents, too!...hopefully some of the Dancing
Kids will perform...)
We are
moving the starting time up by an hour to 7:00pm so that we can hold earlier
beginner mini-classes and "Dancing with the DC Stars" competitions
in Ballroom, Salsa & Rueda, Swing, C/W Two Step and possibly Disco/Hustle
if time permits before a new beginner's milonga and mini-classes in Argentine
Tango can start at 9:15 in the second studio. Dancing and practice, along with
ongoing mini-classes in all of the social dances of Ballroom, Latin, Salsa &
Rueda, Swing, Disco/Hustle, Brazilian Samba, Country/Western and more will continue
throughout the evening in the main Ballroom until midnight, in addition to an
Argentine Tango milonga between 10pm and 2am. During the evening we may also
play some Hip Hop by request, including Mary J Blige, Usher and more for those
who care to dance to R&B music. We may even learn some of the Fatima Robinson
Hip Hop moves to Nelly's "Hot
In Here" or a segment of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" for
those who DARE to even try it...after all, Halloween is not that far away...(Visit
www.MichaelJacksonsThriller.com
for details...).
Snacks and refreshments will be available as always (including the usual pie
right from the oven with ice cream). No previous dance experience or partner
is necessary as all who attend are always beginners in one dance or another
and partners will switch throughout the event. Also included will be demonstrations
in the dances being taught plus performances by local dancers and dance teams,
including the "Dancing
Kids Network", a possible Salsa & Rueda or C/W performance and
a knock-out Brazilian Samba Show in costume by authentic Brazilian Danielle
Areco of www.BrazilLatino.com.
Winners in the "Dancing with the DC Stars" mini-competitions will
receive 5-class cards good toward any combination of drop-in classes throughout
the upcoming summer.
Let's all get ourselves "Out
On The Dance Floor"!
Thanks,
Terry
