"THANK YOU CHICAGO"

"BOSSY" is going to continue to be played but we can now drop it from the survey as it is one of the rare dances that scored for an entire year! Congrats to Michele Perron for achieving the rare feat of keeping the class interested in one dance for an entire year! " [taken from Mark's Nov. newsletter on countryedge.com]

Thank you Mark Cosenza for this item. 

As I have mentioned before, take a look at "Right Round" by Flo Rida as a wonderful alternate track for Bossy. It renewed the dance for my club and the dancers always request the 'alt' track every week! Smiles, Michele

Seductive steps. Exotic beats. Passionate movements. Explosive turns. 
These are some of the elements of the Latin dance known as the Salsa.

experience the wonderful, hot sensation of Salsa dancing.

Dancin' Bootcamp - Night Club 2 Step
Night Club Two-Step, not to be confused with country western two-step, 
is one of the most practical and versatile social dances ever conceived. 
It is designed to be used with contemporary soft rock ("Love Song") music. 
This type of music is common just about everywhere. 
The rhythm of the dance is very simple and rarely changes from the 1 & 2 count. 
This simple, romantic dance fills a gap where no other ballroom dance fits. 
It gives the dancer, either beginning or advanced, the opportunity to express 
and create without rigid technique being required. 
This is an attractive, romantic dance, and a real asset to learn as 
it will be used often. Singles welcome!
