Re: If there was only one dance I should learn...

Which dance to learn depends largely on WHERE you expect to dance. Waltzes are common in ballroom dancing studios (which usually have regular practice / social events) but pretty rare anywhere else. These studio dances offer the greatest variety of dances as people there want to practice what they'v...

Re: VOL. II NO. V (June 06') Drape / Summer Suit Styles AA

I'm choosing this thread for my first post as I have always had a weak spot for tails. I got to indulge it regularly in my competitive/performance days in ballroom dance and still sport it as often as I can.
