We're ready to PARTY!!

The wait is over, and just like a woman who has a new dress to wear, our studio is ready to show off our new floor at a party!  The floor is beautiful, the studio is almost complete (excuse our dust!) but we are ready to show you what we've been working on this month.  Come and join us at our Saturday Open Public Dance party this weekend--the party is from 7-10pm on Saturday, January 30.  Our instructors--Jim, Mac and Justinas--will be there to dance host with all the ladies and admission is $15 per person.  We will have refreshments and and great music, and we know you will be delighted with the new improvements we have made.  A special invitation to all of our active students--FREE admission this weekend because you are all so supportive of us, and we want you to be here to share our joy.  So come one, come all to our Saturday ball--can't wait to see you!!

Sizzling Hot Dancing in Cuba!

Thelma Negley and Jim Clemens
at the Havana Dancesport Classic

There's nothing like getting the New Year off to a great start with some sizzlin' hot dancing!  Jim Clemens and Thelma Negley brought home top honors from their recent trip to Cuba for the Havana Dancesport Classic.  Here are a few quotes from Thelma recounting her trip to the island just south of our Florida border:

"I honestly never go to a comp hoping or expecting to win, but this time, I did hope that I would be the one to make history, and someday my grandchildren might tell their children that their Grammy won First Place in the first Ballroom competition in Cuba.
I am very proud to report that I danced in both bronze and silver categories, and I won First Place Top Bronze, Forst Place Top Silver and First Place Overall.  I also won two Multi-Dance Challenges and first and second place in four Scholarship challenges."

Well done, Thelma!  Thanks for being a great representative for Modern Steps and the U.S. in this first-time competition in Cuba.  Congratulations on your success from all of us!

Progress Report: Great Dancing Just Ahead!

It's been a crazy couple of weeks but we are almost there!  Our new dance floor is just about complete and we are so excited to show it to you!  And even though there are lots of memories that were attached to the old floor, we know that the memories are the people and the joy that we get from dancing.  Keep watching for more updates--you'll be the first to know when we are ready to add new memories to our studio!
