Movin' On Up!

Great news everybody!!!! Well I've been waiting for almost two months now and my dream is finally becoming realized! I started The Workshop just cause I wanted to start dancing again I wanted a venue that I could go to to start practicing my dancing. Some people had enough confidence to make me pursue teaching and that's where the idea was born. What had started as dancing in front of a sliding glass door with my buddy Van has started to become a full fledged dance session with other's who share my passion. For the past 3 weeks I've rented out the Goleta Valley Community Center put $60 dollars of my own money down to rent a room for two hours. I've been wanting to use The Rythym Dance and Fitness Studios center for awhile now and Tamarr and I have been trying to get my own classes started there. I'm happy to announce that I may be making the move to his studio by early next month! Scheduling conflicts have made it tough to get a slot in but thankfully things have worked out to where I don't have to change the day or the time. Keep it posted as I should have things figured out by the week of the 14th. To all of you that have come through so far thank you all for making it out, stick around cause this new venue is hot, plenty of room and plenty of mirrors to see what's going on. It's an exciting time.

We Done Did It Again!

Well, another successful nite at The Workshop. Thanks to those that made it, and for those that missed out... well there's always next time! Tonight's class was a little smaller than our first session, but that allowed me more time to focus a little more one on one with everyone. I hope those of you that attended were able to take back a little more knowledge after tonight. We reviewed the basic uprock and a basic getdown. We worked a little on our shuffles and even got to practice some old school robot moves! lol. We were able to get a lot more footage and a few pics of some cool freezes.

So again for those that missed out, we're doing it again next week, so try to make it out. For those that did attend... spread the word, tell your friends, the more the merrier. Keep practicing and if you have any questions don't hesitate to call me, text me, email me, or message me from myspace, you get the idea! I'll leave all my contact below, just know I'm never far from reach. Have a great weekend ya'll. See you next week!

First night!

Well, I have to say this first session was a success! Thanks to everyone that came out. We had so much stuff going on, from learning basic 6-steps, to uprocks, how to get into windmills, box glides, heel-toes, etc. i'll post pics and vids soon, so stay tuned.

Oh, it's on!

Good morning! Well tonight is the night... exciting! So just as a reminder we will be holding our dance session tonight at the Goleta Valley Community Center. The address is posted below. See you there!

GEAR

Oh before i forget... since we'll be doing quite a bit of dancing I want to make sure you guys are properly geared out. Now not all of these items are required but it would be extremely helpful to have on hand.

Bring good rubber shoes, running shoes are good. A sweater or light jacket for getting on the floor. A beanie or hat to protect that precious dome, towels cuz of course you will be sweating. Long sleeve shirts work great as well as opposed to bringing a sweater or jacket. Also a good thing to bring would be knee pads and elbow pads. Last and importantly not least bring a good attitude and an open mind, remember this is a dance class not a stand around and be shy class. Take this oppurtunity to practice what you want to practice to help perfect your style. We're all here to offer insight to each other, not only do we want to grow as individuals but we also want the group to grow together as well.

Happy Birthday!

Quick shout out to Alfredo... Happy birthday!
