Here I am in beautiful Paris. The sun is out and we are all waiting for our rooms. Natasha and Alessio will be competing this weekend against an amazing amount of dancers from around the world. Italians, South Africans, Canadians, Dutch. I am seeing a lot of my european friends as well.

I have started teaching a group class in Ballroom dancing in Boca Grande (just south of Englewood, near Port Charlotte). Wonderful people live there and it is an awesome community. I will also be teaching private lessons and expanding my Mary Kay business.

Ballroom Dancing in Boca Grande is brought to you by the hard work and dedication of:

Kimberly and Jay Whipple

I am now a Mary Kay Consultant. This is truly great fun. If anyone need that extra money. This is the way to do it. Lots of training, fun, support and a terrific product that just received the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval. This is big. No other cosmetic company has it.

A NEW VENTURE!!!

As many of you know, I am always keeping busy.. Well here I go again. Elizabeth and I have been asked to so a seminar on hair and makeup for competitions. Our first seminar will be at Vicki’s Ballroom in Seminole, FL.  We will be addressing the entire package before you get on the floor, In addition, we will be discussing what the judges are looking for, hair, nails, makeup, styling. Also to be covered is how do you remove the products from your hair and face! Preparing for beauty is a lot of fun.

This seminar will be available to studios all over the country.

This will be awesome!!

I love to dance. It is a way of life with me. I guess that is why I am compelled to teach dancing. I enjoy the interaction with new students, whether they are professionals or amateurs. Yes, there are new professionals out there learning to dance every day. The joy of learning to dance is awesome to watch. I enjoy being a part of making someone’s day better. Dancing does so much for people. It enhances even the most exciting of lives. I cannot imagine a life without dance of some form. The most exciting form for me is ballroom dancing. Waltz, tango, salsa, swing, foxtrot, Viennese waltz, all beautiful dances. There is nothing that quite satisfies the need to express music. For individuals and for couples it is an ideal way of meeting and socializing in a non-threatening way. it is also an amazing way to develop the body while fulfilling the soul. Yes, dancing is a fixer upper. It soothes what ails us. It gives us wings of expression. It is the ultimate tool to improve ourselves. Am I exaggerating? I don’t think so. I have seen too many people benefit in so many unexpected ways from ballroom dancing. It is an awesome way of being.

It was so great to go out dancing tonight. I have not done that in quite a while. Thursday night has been the night for ballroom dancers to play at the Ritz Carlton in Sarasota. Everyone is so friendly and out to have a good time. After a day of coaching and teaching my favorite couple, it was nice to just relax, have a drink and do a couple of dances. My couple are trying to fix me up with a boyfriend. They asked me what I would be looking for. I wondered if I really wanted someone that is a dancer. Do they really have to know how to dance? Or could they just have a sense of rhythm? I had a couple of really great west coast swings with Bob. It was really nice. Then I thought, maybe I do need someone that know how to dance. Mmmm. Tall, good looking, smells good, non-smoker and knows how to dance. That would work. I have always believed that someone that has no interest in dancing has something wrong with them. so, why would I want to be with that person. I guess the decision is made they have to dance. Or at least like dancing. One can always lern how.  Why is it that most women love dancing and so many men don’t? Maybe the do, but are afraid to fail at the learning of it. Shame. We need a few good men that know how to dance.
