Arizona Dance Classic
Well, we were pleasantly surprised the Arizona Dance Classic, which is mostly a country western competition had a ballroom segment on Sunday and it was a fun time. The MC and the music director did a good job. We weren't doing quickstep to no country tune that was for sure. And a good time was had by all, even though we did not have a lot of competitors.

Backstage Scoop From So You Think You Can Dance's First-Ever Double Elimination - E! Online
So you think you can Dance loses great dancer.
Check out the link below This is one of the greatest shows on tv today!
We love ballroom dancing. And ballroom dancing is our favorite part of this show. But you can't help but enjoy the hip hop, Break dancing, and modern dancing also.
We could be moving back in time to when all the people who were on television or in the movies had multiple talents of
dancing, singing and playing musical instruments. These will be the greatest stars. The ones that move on from shows like
American Idol, So you think you can dance, and even Dancing With the stars and consolidate their talents are the one to watch.
But perhaps what is greatest about these shows is that they are inspiring so many young and old people to take up hobbies such as dance.

After a survey several weeks ago, several members got together to discuss what can be done to improve the dances. These include having greeters, bringing snacks, improving the music.
We are hoping there will be a new instructor offering beginning ballroom dance classes starting in August.
For the friday August 7th dance expect a hot new mix of music, greeters, food and snacks, and a great social dance event for Prescott.
