THE WHITE PARTY

Well first off let me say that, at first I wasn't going to attend. But I'm glad that I did. I had a wonderful time, and I think it turned out very nice. Although I didn't wear any white--don't own any, I wasn't the only one. There were a few rebels there. :-) I did meet a number of nice people, and some that inquired about the classes. YES I SAID CLASSES. Although I'm still studying so I can move up the Network Administration ladder, I'm going to add a couple of more classes. My next class is going to start in about 3 weeks, and will be on Saturday's from 11am to 1pm. For now, however, that may change. :-) Stay tuned, more info to follow.

THE 6 or 8 Count Debate ????

Well it seems that we are all still debating over which is better, the 6 or 8 count. Now we have the Die-Hard 6 counters, and those Die-Hard 8 counters. So which one is better, which one is correct? Answer THEY BOTH ARE!!!! Which ever one works for you. Now I know what you're saying, and just let me explain. The reason WHY we have you count, new or old student, is to get you into a pattern. Once you're doing that STEP PATTERN consistently, it doesn't really matter WHAT you're counting. As long as you're doing that STEP PATTERN. An example: Here's the 8 count---123 456 78 repeated over and over and over---your constant-- AND NOW the 6 count--- 12step 34step 56 repeated over and over and over---your constant. If you count the actual steps, it's 8. The 6 count, I feel, just mentally slows you down; so you don't feel rush to get all the steps in. Watch the clip below. You can also have two people side by side, have one person do the 8 count, and the other do the 6 count, then tell me which one is different. Remember it's the pattern that we are trying to get you in, not so much a particular count, but the pattern. I hope that helps, but as always we will have those who will feel otherwise, and that's fine too. By the way I use BOTH, and sometimes I count by 3, but don't tell anyone. :-)

Men and More Men

Well in case you haven't heard, YOU MISSED IT!! Charles had a surprise for me when I got to class. My Boy MATT from Detroit was here. It was cool to see him, and catch up. He did get on the floor and dance with everyone, new students, and solid dancers. And if you new students were, or are worried about dancing with someone while you're learning---You should hear what my students had to say about dancing with MATT. Well Wednesday was standing a night that the MEN HAD TO WAIT FOR A DANCE. Not to many of those days around here huh? So we missed the likes of Tonya, Lizz, Tanjila, and Teresa, but I have video, and pictures to fill them in later. Speaking of which it seems that we ALL enjoyed watching old DVDs I had of Steppin` videos from all over. We got a chance to watch some of the best steppers around, such as Keith Hubbard, Tykman, Brian Patterson, Donny, Stephan, all in different cities. It was so much fun, not so much watching me when I was learning, but enjoyable all the same.

Protect and Serve Parents

Well Sandi finally made it back to the Desert, and we're happy. She came out this past Wednesday, and helped with our students. Thanks for all the help. Sandi is the proud parent of ????? that's in the ARMY! GO ARMY! Nope, I still don't know her name, isn't that funny. I bet I'll get it now though. lol

Welcome Jennifer

We have another wonderful new stepper. Jennifer is another student that catches on really fast. And that's a good thing. Don't forget to practice. :-)
