1. Monday Evening Hula Classes w/ Sheena at The Promenade Coming In August!
Want to learn how to move your hips and tell a story with
your body? Try Sheena's Hula Dance class with an
introduction to Tahitian Dance every Monday Night in
August at the Promenade. Those ladies who have
difficulty with arm styling, hip movement and isolation
can really practice their technique in this class and
eventually apply it to salsa. Come learn from Sheena
Luaehu, one of the only authentic Hula instructors in the
state of Maryland.
Monday Evening: 7-8 p.m. at the Promenade
Dress: Wear comfortable clothes, hip scarfs or just
regular dancewear. Jazz shoes or practice shoes are
fine as you can also dance barefooted!
Note: Cant make it in August? Sheena is teaching a
Fitness Hula Class In September on Wednesdays after Labor
Day at the Baltimore City Harbor View Health Club; be on
the lookout for more details on our website and next
month's newsletter.
2. La Palapa Classes Going
Strong
Feel like brushing up on basic salsa or finally begin truly dancing
Bachata? Try Antonio and Elsy on at the quaint La Palapa on Main Street in Ellicott City. If you can't make it on Tuesday or Saturdays night to our other classes, then this is the perfect place to be. La Palapa will be charging $8.00 per class. Elsybel will be available for private beginner classes only before the class starts. If you are interested please e-mail her at
Elsybel@dancingwithgrace.com. For more information

Intermediate classes for Bachata and Salsa are coming soon at this location so keep
on the look out!
3. Tuesday Nights at the
Promenade; New Salsa Swap Class Update
Grace and Hugo are back and have an interesting class
scheduled for August. People ask us all the time how
we can go from dancing as the lead and then immediately
switch to teaching the follow or vice versa. This is
a skill that we feel can be essential in helping you
understand your partner so Grace & Hugo will be teaching a
class on How to Lead and Follow Salsa Swap Style! If you
are a man, you will learn your partners steps and see how
much force is actually necessary to make you turn and do
difficult movements. Ladies will see how difficult
it is to lead and learn combinations. This type of
class really helps in your dancing abilities and
communication skills during dance. If our first few
classes go well, we will continue the entire month of
Intermediate Classes teaching this Salsa Swap Method!
Basic Classes schedules will remain the same for the month
of August. Classes are $10 each or $15 for both
classes.
- Beginner I-II 7-8 p.m.
- Intermediate Salsa I 7-8 p.m.
- Beginner II-III 8-9 p.m.
- Intermediate Salsa Swap Class 8-9 p.m.
Promenade Dance Sport Facility on 2605 Lord Baltimore
Drive. For directions and more information click here.
4. Saturday Night Salsa

Balloon on the other side of President Street. Its
18,000 Square feet big and has 3 floors so if you haven’t

6. Stardust Dance Weekend in Ellenville, New
York: 09/16/05-09/18/05!
Cant make it to any of the Salsa Cruises? Stardust
Dance Weekend is a lovely time away from the normal dance
craze of any city. Hugo and I went last year to a
Stardust event not knowing what to expect. What we
found were many serious dancers coming to learn, gigantic
ballrooms that reminded me of when courtship actually
involved a night of dancing. The interesting part of
it besides all of the workshops and food were all of the
different ages present. The average age was over 40.
Maybe 20% of the people were from 25-45 and the level of
dancers were pretty great. Some of the teachers were
in their 60's but could literally out-dance any salsero in
DC! We couldn't believe it! They danced on 1
and 2 and even taught on both. If you want to try
something truly unique try this: Average

7. Dancing With Grace Productions Has A Job Opportunity For You!
Hugo and Grace are on the lookout for a male salsa dancer
who is willing to train to become an instructor. This
candidate must be an Intermediate III dancer or better.
Now that we are going National Dancing With Grace
Productions will have many more opportunities for big
events, workshops and money making opportunities for their
instructors. Its not as easy as it sounds and you
must be willing to train for 500 hours; yes you heard me
right 500 hours on the DWG Method over a period of 1-2
years. Training also includes "on the job" training
teaching with us by your side and eventually you will get
your own location/club. This person must have great
communication skills and be able to deal with all kinds of
people. A sense of humor is a must. Grace and Hugo
will also consider hiring couples who are married or
engaged as we think being taught by a couple is better
than just 1 instructor. Auditions will be held in
October of 2005 at the Promenade Dance Sport Facility.
To be placed on the list please email Grace Badillo at:
grace@dancingwithgrace.com if you are interested in
being on the DWG Team!!!
