Personal Letter from Barry Durand to Walter

May 6-9, 2004  Easterns
The Washington, DC Area's Premier Dance Event for 17 years!
 (01/16/2009 wh)                                                                           

Hi Walter and Judy,

Thanks for helping to promote Easterns.

I am truly excited about Easterns this year.

We have moved into a hotel that has better dance space and we will be able to keep all the social dancers happy while also providing a venue for competitors. With 3 ballrooms and a huge "all dance" floor in the lobby that the ballrooms surround, there will always be a place for social dance.

With one ballroom for couples dancing (Waltz, 2-Step, Cha Cha and more), another for Swing/Hustle, and a separate one for line dance we can provide a variety atmosphere that keeps everyone happy.

Our lobby dance floor will rotate between all styles of music and dance, and if any one area is taken up by competition, then the lobby dance floor will be the place to social dance if someone doesn't wish to watch or participate in the competition.

With about 40 dance workshops throughout the weekend and dancing at night until 4am (or later) Easterns is the place to be.

For full information please visit http://www.DanceEasterns.com or call 201-939-4506. We have the top professionals in all areas coming and it promises to be the dance party of the year.

Our new hotel - the Hilton Alexandria Mark Center in Alexandria VA has given us an $89 rate for up to 4 people which is unheard of in the Washington DC area. Reservations can be made at 1-800-Hiltons and mention the Easterns Washington Dance Challenge.

One of the sponsors of the Easterns is the social dance magazine 5678.  Dance Magazine. Information on 5678 can be found at  http://www.5678magazine.com and be sure to check out the new VIDEO download site http://www.MyDanceLesson.com which features couples dance moves and line dances. A new concept in dance instruction which has the largest number of dance video downloads on the web and we are adding dozens of moves and dances every week. While we have mostly added Country, Swing, and Hustle moves.... soon we will add Ballroom, Salsa, Lindy and more.

Thanks again

Barry Durand
