Dance party this Sunday 27th May at 3pm
Come along and join us for cappucino, tea and cake and plenty of dancing this Sunday at the Turner Bowling Club at 3pm. Karolina has promised to teach everyone the Michael Jackson Moonwalk. Kids are welcome. Non-dancing spouses can relax with a beer or wine and read the paper in the afternoon sun or enjoy the pokies. We will unveil our new routine to “The Big Bang” by Rock Mafia. All profits go towards subsidising the Winter Solstice Winery Tour.Swingsation
Karolina, Mark, Emily, Robert and Russ all made it to Swingsation on the Gold Coast - what a hoot! Truly fellow dancers, going to an event like this where there are 200 WCS dancers really improves your dancing. The next major event to consider is the CMJ West Coast Swing championships in Sydney on the 10th June. There is a comp during the day and plenty of social dancing that evening. It will be well worth the trip.
Swing Diego
Speaking of big events, Mark is back from Swing Diego - what a blast! There were 1800 dancers at this event starting on the Thursday and running through to Monday morning! Workshops started every day at 10, competitions late afternoon and into the evening and dancing till dawn! My feet were worn out but I tell you, the long hours of travel and cost were well worth it. Why not come with Karolina and I next year? Start saving.Whilst in the US, Mark did a two day intensive with the matriarch of West Coast Swing, Skippy Blair. It was an honour to meet Skippy. She is 88, knows dancing inside out and is showing few signs of slowing down.
Salsabor rocks to beat of West Coast Swing
Kaz and I have been teaching a Monday class at Salsabor for the last few weeks and all I can say is you guys rock. What a fantastic bunch of people, keen to learn WCS and having lots of fun doing it. I hope we can continue our relationship with Salsabor. Raquel and Andrea love dance first and foremeost and you can see it in their product and the quality of their students.
Next Learn to Dance in a Day workshop announced
We are planning our next 4 hour LTDIAD workshop for the 17th June - venue permitting. Tickets will be available soon via Eventbrite. Make sure you refer your friends or interested associates. We want to grow WCS in Canberra and really establish it as a force in this city.Cheers and happy dancing till next time
Mark and Karolina
