I am sending this from my work email. If you need to contact me hit "reply" If you want to send a note to Judy on her birthday or before use our home address. It's listed below.

We are now into the home stretch toward Christmas but first we have to fill up at Thanksgiving!

Judy & I are looking forward to all the events & Christmas Parties coming up and eager to attend this year's USA Dance New Year's Event. It's nice & centrally located this year and very near some great downtown hotels. Later this week we are sending a special email with all the up-to-date details.

For the rest of November we turn our attention to a couple of special events. We hate to be redundant but each week we ask people if they will be attending our Benefit dance or coming to the Brunswick Stew and we get the "I didn't know about it" answer.. So just as a backup, here it is again....

November 12th - Brunswick Stew Fundraiser - Ask me for details
>>>There is more Brunswick Stew available for sale, $6 Per Quart - ask at any dance event
November 19th - Benefit Dance for the American Red Cross Local Disaster Relief
December 3rd - Benefit Dance for the Virginia Beach Humane Society

**********************************

Our last Wednesday group classes went very well but we had to return to rotating partners. In Waltz we had three extra men and needed some followers. We had one extra man in NC2. We enlisted a couple of ladies that were at the studio for other classes but tomorrow we would like to have a more even ratio. All in all it was nice to get back to teaching!

---- Upcoming in November -----
Group Classes in November on Wednesday:

Back Again and FREE for those who enrolled in the first Foundation Series - Beginner American Waltz at 7pm. For all others it's $10.00 per class or $45.00 for the 5 week series and free class next time within a year!

~~~~ 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.

Dance tip of the week:

Dance like a Pro!

We had the pleasure of attending the latest TSDC social last weekend when out of town guest John Lindo - http://www.johnlindo.com/ - was teaching a group class.

One of the highlights was after the lesson and just before he left all the ladies lined up for some WCS with John. With several ladies in line and about 15 minute to kill I found it interesting to watch how John danced with each partner. The ladies ranged in skill from beginner to pretty darn good.

What was interesting was how John always started with some pretty basic easy to follow stuff with each partner. With the beginners he kept things interesting but only led very comfortable patterns. He seemed to use the ladies own momentum as much as possible. For the more advanced ladies he really pushed the envelope and allowed them more freedom to "do their own thing"

John made every lady seemed completely as ease but at the same time he kept them right on the edge.

When John was dancing his entire attention was on his partner. Although with his size he could put his partner anywhere he wanted he seem to lead as much by body language and frame as anything else.

More leaders should learn that dancing with a partner means just that. It is not a boss & employee or parent & child type of arrangement. It is a partner thing! We may not know the moves John has but we can sure learn how to partner like him.

Song of the Week

When you think of Donna Summers disco comes to mind and another great one off the iTunes download site is "Bad Girls" This song is another great moderate tempo Hustles for those who enjoy dancing for the fun of it. And, as always, when you come out Sunday we can play this and many more great dance songs.

Web Site of the Week

Help save a doggie - http://www.bettatalk.com/ Sent to me by my Brother in Florida who owns one of these fantastic Australian Cattle Dogs. The way I figure it a couple of bucks is good for the soul. Like many of you, Judy & I can't go near a shelter without wanting to bring them all home. Those sad eyes will get you every time.
