New England Dance Festival

New England Dance Festival

This year New Englands only Country, Ballroom, and WCS event, New England Dance Festival, turns 10! Follow the link for details on who is doing what and when. The one party you have to check out in the Thursday night opening bash with Dean Garish. Dean and I share the same philosophical approach to music. We both listen to a song and ask “Does this song make me want to dance?” first then “Which dance can be done to it?” Lots of DJs jam boring songs down your throat because the meet the technical requirements for a particular dance. With Dean at the helm we will dance ALL night long!

Debby Monk Returns to Longfellows in September!

Keep your calendar open for September 8th as my wife and I will be splitting the duties of the night. She has a bad ass figure to teach and I just found some new music that we have on repeat in our home as we dance through the day.

Tessa, Larry, and Mr. Jonathan Oh My!

Friday, Sept 8th, 2017 (tonight)

Its the  Mr. Jonathan Show at Tessa’s Forte Friday Fun Night. She has come down with a high fever and does not want to infect the dance community. She will be home resting while we swing our butts off! I have a new 32 count pattern cycle that is easy and fun to dance. Plus over these last few years a great new partner passing WCS game, centered around the very patterns you will learn, has surfaced…Be prepared to be dancing (and possibly rolling) in the isles after this one of a kind experience!
