~~~~ About "DanceSport VA" - The
DanceSport VA studio is located on Arrowhead Drive between
Princess Anne and Newtown Rd. From the Expressway take an exit onto Newtown Road
South, turn left on Princess Anne then Right onto Arrowhead just past Big Al's
muffler. The parking lot is not large but there are plenty of nearby business
with parking room at night and on Sundays. One, very convenient parking
area is in front of the small "strip mall" which fronts on Princess Anne, only a
hundred feet or so from the studio, on Arrowhead.
The studio has a large (3000 sq ft) dance floor as well as a separate smaller
(2000 sq ft) dance floor. It is a very clean, well maintained studio. They also
have dance shoes and apparel for sale. They have a very good Air Conditioning
system. The DanceSport staff has been very supportive of us and will make
everyone feel welcome. We have been assured that we can have Sunday night
without interruption throughout the year. Note: Two Step Tidewater
Virginia is NOT affiliated with DanceSport VA, or with ANY dance studio.
We simply rent dance floor space for our dances.
We hope everyone who has enjoyed the social dance on Sunday will continue to
attend. We will do everything we can to make this transition as smooth as
possible.
You can check out the studio and find a photo.

Social Dance with group lesson every Sunday at "DanceSport
VA" http://www.dancesportva.com/ Come at 6pm to warm up - Stay and practice while we clean up. Dance & lesson
gives you over 4 hours for $5.00. Refreshments are included.
**************
Judy and I are offering Private and Group lessons in most dances. Please contact
us if interested.
We would also like to get something started in the Churchland, Western Branch area of Tidewater. If you know of an organization, club or church that may be interested in working with us please contact us.
**********************************************
Never stop challenging yourself
If you feel comfortable with your dancing you probably aren't attempting to
learn!!
Anyone taking lessons on a regular basis is not comfortable with their
dancing. Skills erode without regular tune-ups. Most other activities that are
skill based rely on constant practice & improvement why shouldn't dancing?
A real challenge? Try a different dance style.... Ask Judy & I how easy it is to
learn Quickstep or International Standard Waltz. Ask Wanda & Jerry Smith about
learning Country Two-Step. It's not easy but learning always has a positive
influence on your "sense of well being". But not your feet & legs. As the saying
goes... "No Pain no Gain"

OUR POLICY: Webmasters; You are granted permission to copy any content from our web site, provided that you provide a link to http://www.twosteptidewater.com (Contact us by email if you would like a reciprocal link). We are always looking for ways to make Two Step Tidewater Virginia THE PLACE for dance information in the Tidewater area (Norfolk VA, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake VA, Suffolk VA, Portsmouth VA, Newport News VA, Hampton va, Hampton Roads VA, Yorktown VA, Gloucester VA, Jamestown VA, and Williamsburg VA) - and for other dance events or dance locations which are of interest to Tidewater (Southside and Peninsula) area Hampton Roads dancers. We prefer to exchange links with other dance-information sites. To add a dance link, or exchange links with your web pages, email Will Harper or Walter Schultz. Worthy dance events, may post to our web site by emailing a cut-and-paste ready announcement. Your announcement can be just a text announcement or even a full web page. We will host an ongoing web page, at no cost, for Tidewater Area dance-related activities, without their own web page. Be sure to include date, time, cost, contact and location information for your event. In exchange, we ask that anyone posting to our site, include a reference to www.twosteptidewater.com on your site and/or in your intra-group's mailing list emails. (Not just C&W. We'll include Ballroom, Swing, WCS, Disco, Folk, or just churches or other clubs with dances.) We will attempt to post/remove events within a couple of days - but we cannot accept responsibility for missing an event or any other reason. We will attempt to verify ALL links, to prevent any offensive or off-topic links, but, again, cannot be responsible for other's.
