Austin Ballroom Dance

I've written a couple of "how-to" guides for beginning dancers that are trying to figure out where to begin. I posted them on a new website called Austin Ballroom Dance. The idea is to help someone new to ballroom figure out what they want and to recommend good instructors and studios in the Austin area. I wanted it to stay specific about that topic so I created a new website for it. When I get a chance, I may link to the articles on this blog as well.

Are you watching So You Think You Can Dance this season? The dancers are fantastic this year. There have been awesome dancers each year but this season it really is anybody's game to win. Everyone is so good that I hate seeing anyone get cut. And how fantastic is the host, Cat Deeley? She is beautiful and personable and seems to genuinely care about each of the contestants. I love this show.

Also, I'm watching MTV's Best Dance Crew and I'd suggest watching it. There is a synchronization in successful partnering that is difficult to explain but mesmerizing to watch. And some of these dance crews have it. The style is modern dance (as in Hip Hop, Krumping, Popping, Locking, etc.) but you can certainly learn elements of showcasing a dance from this show.

Life continues to be very busy and I treasure the moments I get to relax with Bentley.
