Spring Classes

I will soon need to schedule Spring group classes and would love some input from you as to which dances you would like me to cover and also what times would be good for you.

Portland Bridal Show 2010

This year the Portland Bridal Show appears to be an even greater success for Dancing in the Rain than the past two years as part of the show. I began receiving emails from Brides and Grooms during the show, and handed out nearly 1000 Bridal brochures along with an unknown number of business cards. Many Brides and their family members entered in the drawing for 2 private lessons and overall it just seemed as though the attitude and excitement about dancing for weddings was greater this year! I will be drawing a name from the hundreds of entries and posting the winner in the next day or so, after I finish recovering from this exhausting weekend. I look forward to working with the many Brides and Grooms this Wedding Season and am very hopeful for a profitable 2010.

Happy New Year!

2009 Dances

This Fall I started having monthly dances in order to provide a practice venue for my students. Many of you are a bit shy when it comes to social dancing and these small parties have provided a safe place to practice and hopefully you will soon venture off to grander parties around the Portland area. The parties are becoming more popular each week and I hope to have a full house regularly soon!

Dance in the Dark

Hi Everyone,

Dance for the Cure

So I got up early this morning, met a friend at the Sunset Transit Center, took the MAX downtown and walked with thousands of people in order to help raise money and awareness for breast cancer research. I had so much fun! And I thought " Why in the world haven't I done this before?" So here is the deal... I'd like to start getting involved in more of these walks/races and other fun activities in Portland. How about students, friends & family of Dancing in the Rain start doing some of these things together? We could go to the Rose Festival Parade together, make up teams to raise money for different charities through walks/races, go to weekend festivals and fairs together? What do you think? I have already come up with a name for our Walk for the Cure Team... "The Dancing Boobies!" :-) So who's in??

Labor Day Weekend

It has come to my attention that Labor day weekend is affecting whether or not students are able to attend Fall classes. To make things easier for everyone, I've bumped the classes back one week. The new schedule is on the website.

Monday's Youth class has room for five more couples
Monday's 7pm Adult class has room for four more couples
Monday's 8pm Adult class has room for four more couples
Friday's Adult class has room for four more couples

The Dance Party schedule has not changed.

See you soon! :)
