Hi Vic!

Thank you for the info.

Do you teach dance?

I am terrible with remembering what the diffence is between West and East Coast Swing... All I remember is Single and Triple Time.

If anyone is interested, the Dundas Lions Memorial Community Centre now has Beginner Latin & Swing, Beginner Ballroom and Beginner Lindy Hop starting in January! The Cost for the Latin and the lindy are $65 for 10 weeks for 1 1/2 hour classes. Ballroom is $45 for 10 weeks and 1 hour classes.

West Coast swing and East Coast swing are not at all alike other than they both have the triple steps in them. They are danced to very different music. Once you have danced to both of them then you will never forget the difference again.

I am not a dance instructor I just like dancing that’s all. I can teach basic steps to most all of the common dances but for proper instruction a dance studio is wise. One day I will put all the basic dance steps on my web site, but that will have to wait till I have the time.

Lions clubs tend to allow smoking and so I avoid them.

I look forward to understanding which is which!

Your website, Vic? Could I check it out?

The Community Centre is part of the City of Hamilton and there is no smoking allowed within feet of the building.

Yuck. Smoking! :P That is what I like about the No Smoking Ruling!!! Yeah! :)

Vic, did you go last night? I was trying to figure out who you were/if you were there...

My computer was in the shop on Friday getting fixed and I just got it back now. Yes I was at Sonoma’s on Thursday. I will be there on the 30th as well if all goes according to plan.

This is my dance web site. http://www.optimalhealthsecrets.com/lodshome.htm

I am working on posting the basic dance steps to most of the popular dance. Look for that in the future sometime.

I am sure I saw you, but I didn't know who you were...

I am the one who was leading a pretty lady, Janice, through some swing steps when the first swing song came on.

I checked out your site. Thanks! :)

I am hoping to be there Thursday as well. It will be the last Thursday I can attend until March. (I teach on Thursday nights.)

I generally don’t get there until just after 10 after the first set. And there are a lot of pretty ladies at Sonoma’s. Which one was your’s LOL?

Okay, then you wouldn't have been there when I was dancing with Janice... I was around Denis a bit, then Robert/Bob was hanging around me. I danced a few dances with him. Janice was sitting by the water cooler on the table. She has short silver/grey hair. Tanned. Pretty lady. (Used to be my neighbor.)

I should be there tonight, all going well. Probably around 9:30.

I am not sure who Janice and Denice and Bob are. I know several people with those names. I will likely be at Sonoma's again this Thursday. Say hello to me and identify yourself as Cassandraw.

I didn't get to go on Thursday. I had some restrictions (my friend's two girls) and didn't get home until almost 10, with a splitting headache! So I didn't go.

I won't be able to come out on Thursdays now until March as I teach and do recreational work on Thursdays until 10:30 pm.

Robert/Bob is the guy with dark hair and beard who always wears a black polo shirt, black pants and cowboy boots. Dennis is the guy who wears gold chains exposing his chest and looks like a "gino"! (Very nice person, though.)

Do you ever go out on a Saturday? If I am free, we will be going out this Saturday.

How am I supposed to introduce myself if I don't know what you look like, Vic?!!! :P

It was a pleasure to meet you the other night at Sonoma’s Cassandraw even though we did not get a chance to talk very much.

It was a pleasure to finally meet you, too! :)

The Boston Tea Party is coming up again on March 17, 2005. This is a dancing party like you have never experienced. Visit www.teapartyswings.com for details. At least two of us from our group will be going. We will likely join the Toronto Swing Dance Society at their table for this event.

Vic:

I looked it up and they are going to be in Danvers, MA that weekend...?

Who will be in Danvers MA?
I am one of the people going to Boston so I am not sure who you mean by 'they'.
