Newsletter – April 18, 2011

A gust of new students filled the classes this winter as Dance Conmigo teamed up with the social website Tuango to offer an excellent promotion to the dance-curious. Most were so taken by their experience that they are returning this Spring for more dance lessons!

A big THANK YOU to new instructors Catherine and Pascal, who instilled in their students their love and passion for West Coast Swing – every Monday night in their beginner WCS class!

Kudos also to returning instructors Jade and Gary for eliciting much praise from their Salsa students including: “You guys are the best!” and “The classes were great. Lots of fun!”

New last season: For the first time, we separated our beginner Ballroom classes into Ballroom Smooth classes (Slow Waltz, American Tango, Foxtrot, Viennese Waltz) and Ballroom Rhythm classes (Merengue, Cha-Cha, Samba, Rumba, Swing). We wanted to give more time and attention to each dance – and the results were awesome!

Looking forward, Dance Conmigo founders and instructors Cheryl and Alain continue developing their programs so as to integrate new students while challenging those who have been with them now for almost 5 years! A few new and exciting classes will be added this Spring & Summer – stay tuned for details!

After four years of dancing in a worn out floor, Dance Conmigo decided to upscale to a new floor. Alain, Abe, Dennis, Gary and Rene worked non stop to install the new floor. We hope that dancers will enjoy it for the years to come.

Patrizia is a Ballroom & Latin dance choreographer, instructor and motivator with over 26 years of experience.

This dynamic course provides beginners with the basics of this fun & flirtatious dance, while students already familiar with Mambo are challenged at their respective level. The session will culminate with the oportunity to perform at Dance Conmigo’s Christmas Party Saturday, December 4th! This is a wonderful opportunity to explore the dance that’s often referred to as the mother of Salsa and Cha-Cha.
