A Showcase Extraordinare

Friday, August 22, 2008
Sunday, August 24, 2008

Our next showcase is coming up on Friday evening, August 22, with a matinee performance on Sunday afternoon, August 24. This will be a burlesque type of showcase, and it will be held at our studio.

On Friday evening, there will be general dancing for everyone, along with hors d'oeuvres from
7-8 pm for $5.00. It will be enjoyed in dinner theatre style. The Showcase performance will start at 8:00 pm and will be $10.00.

On Sunday afternoon, the Showcase matinee performance will start at 3:00 pm and will be $10.00.

The subject matter in some of the routines is a bit more risqué due to the Cabaret/Burlesque theme.

We are bringing our very own
1-day competition to Chattanooga as part of the United States Showcase and Dance Challenge (USSDC). 

Several studios have already shown an interest in participating in our competition.

Ask how you can get involved.

We had so much fun at Chattanooga DanceSport's 2-Year Anniversary Party Saturday night, July 12, 2008.

Lots of dancers came to help
celebrate the occasion. We all enjoyed dancing, food, dancing, door prizes, dancing, fun, and did I mention DANCING ?!?

Pictures have been posted in the Photos section of our website. Take a look and see how much fun we had !!!

1-Day Comp in Knoxville
Saturday, August 23, 2008

We'll be attending another 1-day competition with the USSDC in Knoxville.

If you've ever thought you'd like to give dance competition a try, this would be the perfect chance to try it because it's just one day.

We'll carpool and drive up on Saturday morning and then drive back Saturday evening.

We have a blast when we parti-cipate in dance competitions. And we'd love to have you come along and enjoy it all with us!

If you think you'd like to join us and compete in this 1-day competition, see your dance instructor for more information.

I have never seen so many afros and so much polyester in my life.

Denny was dressed up in his baby blue leisure suit, along with his huge afro wig.

Ren was the "Disco King" with his afro and all his gold chains. He even found some chest hair he didn't know he had!

Tammy came attired in her psychedelic-colored bell bottoms along with her afro and jingling coins attached to her hips.

Rhonda was all legs in her shiny gold top with a 70's mini skirt.

We thought that surely Zora was one of the "Solid Gold Dancers" in her multi-colored gold lamé top, her black mini skirt, and her gold disco ball earrings!

And all of our students and dancing friends came in an assortment of wild and wooly costumes.

In true 70's food style, we had some scrumptiously delicious cheese fondue.

All in all, we had a really groovy time.
