Travel Opportunities:

If you're looking to meet more dancers and skyrocket your skills, there's no better way to do it than by traveling to some regional events! 'Tis the season for dancing in the Midwest. Check it out:

Homework
Watch this and try and steal a move or two. This This is a short clip that is well done. The video is down right pretty and easy on the eyes. Makes me want to dance right now. Only a few more hours to go until tonight!

Favorite music

This week's song is My Serenade by Django Reinhardt. This song makes my heart flutter a bit. It is sweet and light. Perfect to dance to or to sit on the front porch in a rocking chair with a good book and some sweet tea.

Vintage Clips: 

Check out this vintage clip.  Django Reinhardt has insprired countless musicians with the way he played jazz. What is amazing is that all of the lead guitar that you hear, he plays with only two fingers. Due to a fire, he lost the ability to use his bottom two fingers. You can see him at work here. Enjoy, I know that I sure did.
