Places To Dance
Here is our current list of places we enjoy dancing... some private and some public.
Dancing Is A Lot Of Fun Exercising Both Body And Mind All At Once!
We dance at least five nights a week
We
ballroom dance every time we get a chance and as a matter of fact, we
select our cruise ships by the availability of dancing and not necessarily
where it is going! We aren't great dancers but we do have fun! As our instructor
told us . . . "There are no mistakes, just new steps!".
We love dancing at the Catalina
Ballroom and the Queen Mary. We go to the
Phoenix Club every Thursday for an evening
of 1940's Swing Dancing. Saturday nights is
Disneyland for dancing and watching
the fireworks!
We have many local bands which are just super!
Did you know... California's state dance is West Coast Swing, related to
the Swing, Whip, or Jitterbug, which came into being in the early 1930's
in response to new musical forms then sweeping the land. It was created
at the grassroots level and devotees of this art come from every conceivable
ethnic, religious, racial, and economic background.
Dancing & Dance Classes...
West
Coast Swing Dancing is an intricate dance, requiring a great deal of coordination,
good timing, and intelligent application. It is an American dance which
is danced to American music. It originated in California and is danced in
competition nationally and internationally.
Carri Fox has been our instructor for years now! She can be reached at Carri5678@verizon.net if you are looking for a D.J. or instructor in the North Orange County or Southwestern Los Angeles County.
We have been taking lessons from Carri Fox for 20 years...... Are we getting any better??? Who knows? Oh...... try the Sky Room in Long Beach, California... it is a west coast version of the Rainbow Room and it is very very nice!!
