New Year's

Happy 2009! I hope everyone found a dance on New Year's Eve! I didn't get asked to go out for New Year's : ((( but I thought of all you guys out there dancing. Wish I could have been dancing, too, but it was OK being home... alone. I was on the road sooooo much last semester, then Christmas came so fast, and I am just now catching up at home, so it was fine.

Pam's comments

Thanks Pam! I appreciate all the nice comments! The Sunday night Super Singles' Dance is one of the few places to dance in this area. Anyone can come -- you don't have to be single... Remember, Sunday nights, 7-11pm, White River Plaza -- Mr. DJ's studio.

Spike & The Bulldogs in Muncie

The band Spike & The Bulldogs is going to be in Muncie this Saturday. Although I love this band, the venue leaves a lot to be desired. The dance floor is not very big, and if they move or remove tables for dance space, not very many people will be able to get in. At any rate, here is the info.

More Dancing

Thanks Jason, for the wonderful comments! It was a lot of fun, whatever the outcome.

A new round of classes is about to start. It is always an exciting time. My "More Ballroom" and "More Swing" classes are for those who have already had some dance -- it is always fun and challenging to make sure everyone learns something new, whether they have taken 1 or 10 of my classes before! The beginning classes are always delightful, too. The turnaround at about week #4 always makes me smile -- the dancers really begin to smooth out as they have to think less and less about the basic rhythms.

There is a regular place to dance on Sunday evenings in Muncie now -- it is billed as a single's dance, but couples are also encouraged to come. It is at Mr. DJ & Co., White River Plaze (at the corner of White River Blvd. and Nichols Ave.) -- 7:00-10:00pm (or maybe 11:00 -- I'm not sure) -- $6.00/person. Enter under the "White River Plaza" sign on the White River Blvd. side of the building (the Bingo entrance). Go up the stairs (1 flight). The studio is on the left. Hope to see you there!

Swing contest

My son, Joseph, and I placed 3rd in a swing contest at James Dean Days last weekend! We had a lot of fun, and we got (by far!) the biggest applause from the audience. (Even the 1st and 2nd place winners couldn't figure out why we didn't get 1st place!) That was OK -- how often do you walk away with $100 for dancing for 15 minutes?
