Wow, has time ever flown by this year! I do hope that all of you West Coast, Salsa, and Country Two Steppers have enjoyed your dancing in 2010! I sure have…

I have had a very busy year. It was full of new dance events and my competitions in the country dance world which were a blast! I really enjoyed Portland Dance Festival in July, as well as the River City Dance Festival in Edmonton in September. For those of you who enjoy both swing and country music these are the events for you! Also, Sea to Sky was fantastic this year. We are so fortunate to have a major west coast swing dance event here in Vancouver with top instructors! So cool that we had people travelling from as far as Australia, Europe, and Texas to come to the dance event. What fun!

So have you heard about our yearly Foodbank Fundraiser? This sunday Urban Beat will be offering a beginner west coast lesson, performances by students and instructors, as well as dancing thru the evening. All proceeds will be donated,so this is a great event to introduce friends and family to your dance world with!

 My next adventure is going to be Palm Springs over New Years. I have been asked to teach,judge, and compete for the first time this year at New Years Dance Camp. I look forward to ringing in the New Year with amazing west coast swing dancers!

 I  wish you all a wonderful Holiday Season and All the Best for 2011! And many more wonderful dance days in the year ahead!
