Randy's Dance Directions October 2, 2005

Fellow Dancer,


IN THIS ISSUE: Randy's Report, Current Classes, Class Balances, Events, Private Lessons, DJ Services and Partners

RANDY'S REPORT:

Everything was smooth sailing on the 2005 Swingin' @ Sea dance cruise. The Mediterranean weather offered a heavy dose of sun each day and calm waters at night. Next time you see me, be sure to ask and I'll tell you all about it! There's simply not enough space to share it all here. Congratulations on another well-run dancing vacation Beata! I highly recommend any Swingin' @ Sea package that she puts together! It looks like next year we will be sailing out of Vancouver, B.C. and explore Alaska in August. Stay tuned for more details.

A brand new venue will open its doors to the Swing Community this week! The Dorothy Jayne Studio (http://www.olysdance.com) in Everett is now hosting Nightclub 2-Step and West Coast Swing classes on Wednesday nights. Please join me in welcoming this new state of the art studio to our family. Classes begin at 6:30pm, 7:30pm and 8:30pm with yours truly, Randy Carter, guiding the way. For more information please view my website (
http://dancedirections.recreationcreation.com) or give me a call (206-577-1657 / 888-324-2924).

Ciao.
