Moving Right Along.

The Club Dance Waltz,
Pre- pre Bronze.

1. Walking step, hand to hand, side by side, and just hear and feel the rhythm and the timing to the music. You can be a little early, right on time or a little late. The leader's prerogative, just try to stay in sync.
2. Box Step, to begin the basic for a partner movement so that the partners are in sync.
3. Left Turns, 1/4, 3/8 or whatever depending on the music, the space available and the mood of the leader.
4. Right Turns, the same, just to be able to turn right and alternate whenever the leader wants to.
5. Forward Walk for men, backward for women, in slightly parted position.
6. Backward Walk for men,forward for women, in slightly parted position.

"A person should stand on their principles even

if they must stand alone"

These are the real basics, the pre - pre Bronze. The Music is first, of course, but learn the lead and follow on these movements. With a few Waltzes the rest of the learning is all downhill for the club dancers. Just add the new moves as you wish.

Facebook has reported the photo uploads were running at 350 million per day. How many people saw your photo today? And we are not talking about yesterday's photos or tomorrow's photos. Auwe. Estimating the average number of photos taken is difficult given the broad user base - from photo fanatics snapping hundreds of photos daily on their SLRs to the vast mass of camera owners in developing nations with just a simple camera phone.

All we ask is for a few nice photos for your friends, relatives, neighbors and fellow dancers in our blogs. Just pick the blog you like and email them in. Easy as pie.
