Week 5 of July

I'm very excited about the 5th week of July. The Hustle intermediate class is finalizing a rather challenging combination but it actually started to look good last week. The West Coast Swing class has been working on flashy-finisher moves and I'm hoping to add one new trick to their bag.

Of course, I've threatened that "mean" Erik is back this week from his 2 week "vacation". I don't want everyone to get scared off and hide but I'm hoping to bring both classes to a fun conclusion for the month.

I'm most excited to start the Spins & Turns tour; our way of bringing our spins and turns class to 3 different locations. If there's anything that Anna and I feel that we can teach it's turning. Most dancers, both leaders and followers, desperately struggle to figure out spins and turns during workshops or on the social dance floor. Unfortunately, spins and turns are one the most complicated aspects of any dance. Some professional dancers can spend years just to increase their ability to spin by one turn. We're planning on breaking down some of the fundamentals of spins and turns so that people can begin overcoming their "rotational" issues.

Enjoy the week,
Erik
