DANCIN' TIME

Here is a short video with highlights from a recent Dance Flurry. Enjoy. We’ll see you on the dance floor Feb. 18-20, 2011 Saratoga Springs. Register here.

Jordan Frisbee and Melissa Rutz 2009 Pheonix Jack and Jill this had 34,000 views at the time I embedded it.

Here’s Jordan and Jessica Cox at the 2010 Jack n Jill in Pheonix. Hot songs in this video and nice kiss to start the dance.

Jordan and Tatianna’s 2010 Routine at the US Open Swing Dance Championships. This is the first time I’ve seen that kind of make-up at a west coast swing competition. Nice shirt Tat! I don’t like the music much. 55,000 views as of Feb 2010.

This one of Jordan, Tatianna, Parker and Jessica has 700,000 views.

I had a great time at the December 2010 First Friday Swing Dance in Albany. Lots of great people and awesome swing dance music by Peter Davis and Friends. In this video you will see a Balboa demo by Linda and Chester Freeman, an impromptu Tap Dance Demo by Rod Ferrone and a birthday dance. Enjoy!

Arthur Murray of Saratoga Spring’s presented Holiday Ballroom dances at the USA Dance Ballroom Dance in Albany Dec. 2010. Enjoy!

Dancin’ David and Rachel show you how to dance some simple patterns in West Coast Swing. Left side pass with turning variations. Inside turn for the follower, turn for leader and follower and a lunge to hit the accents in the music.

I always enjoy playing Holiday music for the Ballroom Dances that we DJ in December around Albany, NY.

Here is a short list of some of the songs that ballroom dancers really seem to enjoy.

Dancin’ Dawn and David dance West Coast Swing and Hustle to “I like it” by Enrique Iglesias.

“I like it” is a very dance able pop song for Hustle and West Coast Swing. Here is the music video for “I like it.”

We’ve enjoyed dancing to Enrique’s songs over the years. “Bailamos” is an excellent Samba song.
Here is the video for “Bailamos”
