Classics Workshop 9/29/18

Betsy had another great Classics workshop in Deerfield Beach yesterday! (And - Dawn Demerest did a social the night before in West Palm Beach that was also a lot of fun!)

The classics taught were Oh Ruby!, Jukebox, With These Eyes, and Now Or Never (which is the one I taught).

Oh Ruby! is a phrased dance by Deb Rushton that will need just a little bit more work to master but I really liked it.

Jukebox is a classic Jo Thompson Szymanski that is just a lot of fun.

With These Eyes is an awesome nightclub by Niels Poulsen & Darren Bailey that I can’t wait to do again! Gooseys!

Lots of open dance in between with a great playlist - the day did not disappoint!

DANCE XPERIENCE 2018!

Well. As I was leaving Betsy’s Classics Workshop yesterday, and Sharon and I were talking about the Xperience, I looked back through this blog and guess what? I NEVER posted ANYTHING about New Orleans 2018! How sad is that? All I have are these notes! So - it’s all that gets to be posted here.
