How To Feed 100 Dogs at Once

This one is for Jody and Charlie. They could probably give this guy lessons. Jody and Charlie teach Ballroom Dance at the Dale City Recreation Center. This is where we started with dancing. When they are not dancing, they run an Akita Rescue. They usually have several dogs in foster care. I think they can relate to this video.

Argentine

A few weeks ago we were talking to some of our friends about getting a group together and going to Buenos Aires next year to go to the Milongas. The only problem is that Steve and I really do not know Argentine Tango very well. So I looked around and found Tango Duos. We started taking weekly private lessons in Argentine Tango last Saturday from Anthony who is an excellent teacher. He specializes in Argentine Tango and Salsa. Hopefully we will make it to Buenos Aires but even if we don’t, we should know some Argentine Tango by next year. Of course, we will also continue our private lessons with Ben at Studio One in ballroom dancing.

Lindy Weekend

We spent a weekend down in Virginia Beach participating in a Lindy Workshop. We drove down Friday and took a class at the A Time To Dance studio. Every first Friday of the month they have a Lindy/Swing Party from 9 to 11 PM and a lesson from 8-9 PM. Tony Allison is the instructor. There was a pretty good sized crowd. Tony had the place really swinging. We needed the class to prepare us for the workshop. We got the basic rhythm and a couple of steps.

On Saturday we went to the Lindy Workshop at DanceSport VA. The workshop was taught by Yuval and Gaby who are World Champions at the Lindy. These two really know their stuff. We had a great time and picked up some Lindy and Charleston. We really liked the Dips & Tricks workshop.

Saturday night we felt like we were overdosing on Lindy. So, we went back to A Time to Dance for their Social Dance. They had a DJ who played a good mix of music. We got to practice our Ballroom and even picked up a new Meringue step.

Sunday we drove home up US Route 17. The weather was cool and sunny; great for a drive through the country. The freeway might have been faster but the view was better this way.

I Was Robbed

Last night we went with friends to the Eighth Annual Gala of the Prince William Chapter of the American Red Cross held at the Heritage Hunt Golf and Country Club. The theme of the night was the Sensational 70's. The music was provided by JJDJ. They played a great selection of music from the 70's and had the lights and strobes to make it look like a disco. We got to dance a lot of hustle and swing.


Then I got robbed by only coming in as 3rd Runner Up on the Leisure Suit and Platform Shoes Contest. Here is a look at my vintage leisure suite and some of my competition.


I mean really, with these shoes, I thought that I would be a "shoe in" for the top prize.


Jeff had a cool suit and was really strutting his stuff for the competition, too.

The ladies in our group had a good time out on the dance floor bringing on some action.
Janet and Jeff really know how to dress for the occasion. They like to go all out for a fancy dress dance. A great way to get into the spirit of the dance.

But in the end I was still "Stayin' Alive".
