February is about Lovin' Latin Workshops

Our first workshops of the semester will be held next Sunday. The first part of the day will be in the Ramsey center from 1-4 p.m. while the second part will take place at our normal time of 7-8:30 p.m. in Memorial Hall Ballroom.

The day has three sessions: the first two are Argentine Tango lessons and the final session is a Cha Cha lesson. Pricing is $8 per session for students and $10 for non students for each additional session you attend the pricing goes down (see flier picture for matrix). If you are wondering why the pricing is different than our regular Sunday Night Lesson, the answer is that, workshop teachers are paid for their time and are not volunteers.

We are very excited to have Fuad Elhage teaching our Argentine Tango lesson. So many people have requested this lesson we are truly excited that it has come about.
Fuad's day job is all about teaching Spanish at the university, but in his dancing life he has taught Salsa at Last Call in downtown Athens, taught Argentine Tango with TangoRojo, a local Tango troupe, and preformed Tango and Salsa in Atlanta.

The cha cha lesson will be taught by our usual instructors, Rachel Holland and Brandon Buckner. You can look forward to new and fresh moves we often miss in our regular lessons and and styling tips.

You can attend the both cha cha and first Argentine Tango lesson with no prior experience. However, in order to attend the second tango session, you must attend the first tango session or have previous Argentine Tango experience.

We really hope you will come out and join us.

Valentine's Day Events

Happy Valentines Day,

I hope you all are having a great week.

Mark your calendars! We are having an Argentine Tango with Fuad and a Cha Cha Workshop on Sunday 24th. We hope you'll join us.

Happy Dancing

Back in the Black: First weeks events

Its a much shorter events this week, the Ritz is not having their weekly dances which is quite sad to the Athens dance community. Also their will be no Rueda lesson until after Ballroom Magic (Jan 24 -26) as our fabulous teachers will be in rehearsal.
On the bright side we are trying out a short intermediate lesson at the end of the regular Sunday Night Lesson. We know that many of you, would like to take it to the next step, so we are giving it a try. Please feel free to give us feed back (go ahead hit that comment button), and bear with us as we try to iron out the seems in the process.

Happy dancing,

New Semester- New Start

Today the officers and teachers meet the hash out plans for next semester, and I have to say I'm really excited. Last semester, as many of you know had its fair share of disasters, but so far it looks as though this semester will run much more smoothly.

Things to look forward to,

Workshops - I think we really mean it this time
Formal - your chance to get all gussied up
More advanced moves in lessons
And maybe even some Valentine's Day Fun

Our first lesson is next Sunday, and we will be teaching Rumba!

Hope to see you dancing soon.
