Hello FunDancers! What an AMAZING July we had! With Fearless Leader and Empress Fundance (new moniker…we’re trying it out) back from their European Tour, class numbers were at record highs. The material was fresh from Europe, and smelled of accents and coffee. We plan to continue offering our students the best of the best new material, as long as it’s still leadable and social and fun (oh my!) for everyone involved.
Channel 2 KPRC morning show host Ruben Galvan had an opportunity to check out FUNDance and let the rest of Houston (ok those that were awake at 5am) know what they are missing! Special thanks go out to our FUNDance celebrities for defying the laws of sleep and showing off their dance prowess at OMFG o’clock in the morning (there’s no OMFG o’clock at night, is there?)
Our esteemed luminaries: Talia (Sugarpush) LaPushin, David (I look) Young, Robert (It’s not early for me cuz I’m usually working out at this hour) Goins, Cher (What other Cher?) Longoria, Harold (Doc) Cramer, Michelle (Say Goodnight) Grace, Gary (Hopalong) Hufham, Patti (I HATE Hitches) Gunning, Milton (Don’t Call Me Sugar) Oglesby, Jeanne (F) Turpin, Corky (Last Call Already?) Ament, Jonathan (Slap That) Leather, Amanda (Manny) Peddy, Lee (Diamonds and) Perlmutter, Debbie (when is my closeup) Wachsburg, Albert (Mr. Technique) Corrazatto. Thanks to all of you for braving the morning and coming to help us spread the word about FUNDance!
Evenings were just as fun with the crew. Gary (Hopalong) Hufham and crew set up some FUN nights on the town. Great turnouts at both The Big Easy (July 3) and Wild Alaska Tavern (July 12) with plenty of FUNDancing for all involved. If you would like to get together with some FUNDance friends for a night on the town, simply friend Bendy Man Fundancehouston (Official Mascot) on Facebook and post your information. Let’s get FUNDance out and into the community!!!
COTILLION – We start in August! Please scroll down for more information regarding this new endeavour (British spelling cuz it’s CO-freaking-TILLION!)
Respectfully Submitted,
Empress FUNDance…Fearless Leader is still resting from his European Gigs…
Cotillion is Coming!!!
Don’t forget that Monday, August 4th ushers in a brand new series for FUNDance. Every month we will be offering you the chance to learn a new dance. This is the perfect opportunity to expand your dance knowledge and get your friends involved…
If you have always wanted to get your friends involved in dance but hated the idea of having them in a Beginner class while you were in the more Advanced class, this is your chance! We will be covering the basics on a different dance each month in order to help you expand your dance survivability. No more sitting out songs at weddings, country bars, office parties, corporate functions, Bar and Bat Mitsvahs, Christenings, Quinceaneras, Baby Showers, and even some Jack and Jills these days! After this class, you should be comfortable when the song or the situation calls for a dance other than West Coast Swing. By popular vote, August will be the month of Foxtrot! Old Blue Eyes (Frank Sinatra for the young people) would be smiling. This is the perfect dance to start with as it’s the dance most people think of when they think of Ballroom Dancing.
The Foxtrot is a smooth, progressive
dance characterized by long, continuous flowing movements across the dance floor. It is danced to
big band (usually vocal) music. The dance is similar in its look to
waltz, and often played at wedding receptions.
