BRUCE & BETH PEROTTA PRESENT WORKSHOPS IN JULY

SCDC is pleased to host Bruce and Beth Perotta for a weekend of workshops on July 6 and 7. The Perotta's will conduct West Coast Swing Workshops, sharing information and teaching methods they learned at Golden State Teachers Association in California. There will be three workshops on Saturday, July 6, and a Free 30-minute workshop before the dance on July 6.
On Sunday, July 7, Bruce and Beth will be available for private lessons. Bruce and Beth come to us from South Florida. Their goal has been to elevate the level of dance in their community through strong fundamental instruction and the introduction of new music and dance ideas from across the country. Bruce and Beth began competing together on the National West Coast Swing circuit 2003. In 2005 they began training together in California with Skippy Blair's (deemed the first lady of swing) Golden State Dance Teachers Association, to complete the GSDTA dance teachers certification exams. Bruce and Beth are owners of DanSynergy Inc. and have been teaching at Goldcoast Ballroom in Coconut Creek, Florida.	Bruce and Beth bring a wealth of experience to our club in July. As dancers and instructors, Bruce and Beth focus on their local dance community of South Florida. Together they have created specialty classes, developed workshops weekends with national level instructors, as well as hosting weekly and Monday dances.
Beth and Bruce Perotta are Event Directors of Miami Dance Magic. This year the event will be held at the Miami Airport Doubletree Hotel from July 18 - 22. Miami Dance Magic gets bigger and better every year. Club Members who have attended in the past have praised the event as top quality and a great opportunity for dancers in Florida. We would urge you to put this event on your calendar and attend. You will find a number of your friends there.

Thanks to Michele and Aaron For Two Nights of Night Club Two Step Workshops

Thank you to Michelle Holm and Aaron McKenna, who were guests at SCDC on Monday May 6 and May 13 to teach Nightclub Two Step. Nightclub Two Step's slow, romantic compositions are common just about everywhere in nightclubs and dances. Night Club Two Step is a favorite at our club. The members who attended the workshops enjoyed the evenings while learning four different and intricate patterns. Michele's and Aaron's lessons can change your dance to feel and look better while providing a fun experience. We always look forward to their workshops.

Michele is a frequent contributor to SCDC. Her group lessons and dances are listed on the SCDC Calendar. Aaron and Michele offer private dance instruction in West Coast Swing, Two-Step and Nightclub Two Step at an hourly rate. They primarily teach at Michele's Home Studio in Micco.
