Did you know....

.......that ballroom dancing isn’t just something to do for fun? It’s also a great way to get into shape!  Whether you want to lose a few pounds, tone up or overcome those aching joints, ballroom is the perfect workout.  A student from the Fred Astaire Studio in Jupiter, FL started  ballroom as a way to overcome Osteo Arthritis! She was diagnosed at the age of 8 with this painful disease. At the age of 27, she was diagnosed with Symphatic Dystrophy and also suffered a stroke. After suffering with her pain for 18+ years, she took up ballroom dancing in April 2008.  By June of 2008, she was completely pain free for the first time in 24+ years!

So as you see, ballroom is not only fun– it’s also very therapeutic!!

 

Competitions

COMPETITION? Did someone say competition?  Do we have competitions for you this year!!  Some of you may get those butterflies in your stomach or swear off competitions thinking they are too overwhelming for you! Well, we’re here to tell you– RELAX!! Ms. Debby  always suggests that everyone go to a competition as a spectator before taking one on as a competitor!  It’s good advice and a wonderful way to support your fellow ballroomers!  It also gives you a chance to see how they work and the supportive atmosphere that surrounds the competition.  Join us on our next excursion and see for yourself how fun the experience can be!!

 

Our next competition is February 7-10 at the amazing Atlantis resort in the beautiful Bahamas!  Our very own Joe-Joe and his student Missy Keller will be competing and will be accompanied by Ms. Debby. (Chaperone??? Hmmm…that’s   interesting!!)  Joe and Missy have been working tirelessly in their preparation for this amazing opportunity!  Be sure to wish them well and to watch out for sharks (and I don’t mean on the dance floor!!)  Merde, Joe & Missy!

At the end of February, The Grove Park Inn, Asheville,  will be the site of the Heritage Competition.  Don’t miss this fun filled weekend at a beautiful resort nestled in the mountains of NC! See Ms. Debby for more info!
