Customizing wedding dances is one of my favorite ways to share the joy of dance! Bride/groom dance, Father/daughter dance, Mother/son, and entire wedding parties — let me show you how to make the most of these important occasions.

Congratulations to David and Margaret who are taking dance lessons to show off a bit for their 66th wedding anniversary party.  They will surprise their friends and family with some cool Swing dance moves to the song “In the Mood.”  What a delightful couple! David is 91 years young and Margaret is 88 years young. […]

Okay teenagers — are you ready for some FUN this summer?!?  I’m putting together a class I think of as “Sizzling Salsa Dancing for Teens.” I am flexible on days and times — just need to hear from 5-10 people who might like to learn some exciting moves on the dance floor. Let me know […]

If ever there were a year that kept us on our toes, it was 2020. The King’s Ball this year was more challenging than ever in a new, unusual way: dancing in the midst of a pandemic.
Our hosts, Rita Algarra and Igor & Polina Piliipenchak, took every possible precaution to keep us all safe and healthy. This included encouraging participants to have Covid testing prior to the event, performing extra sanitization measures, keeping dance couples farther apart on the floor and the first-ever VIRTUAL competition in addition to the live, ON-SITE dancing.

This December, Dancesport makes history! Never before has ballroom dancing competitions been a hybrid event such as this.. Due to health safety concerns from Covid-19, this competition will be split in two – offering LIVE and VIRTUAL competitions. And, of course, Gia wants to be there! December 1-2 , Tuesday and Wednesday, dancers compete online. […]

Okay, I admit it. I really miss competing and performing this year. 2020 was a tough year on all dancers – but the new year is just around the corner, opening up lots of possibilities. Here’s a peek at my recent past for anyone interested – may 2021 bring us back to new dancing opportunities. […]
