Hello, dancers! This is my very first time blogging, now, I've clogged a few times, but never blogged. I am trying hard to catch up and keep up with technology. My and Never Enough Ballroom's intent is to have a place where anyone can share ideas and make comments, both positive and negative, (but hopefully more positive) about whatever is on one's mind, especially if it regards dance. Who's doing what and where? What events are coming up that you would like people to know about. What you thought about an event you had attended. Did you like it or not? How they could improve it. Ask questions, make comments, share dance! I've been dancing 36 years and I have shared dance with thousands of people. I absolutely love it. It truly fuels my existance, so to speak. And, to this day, one of my most favorite kind of dancer is a beginner. When they feel for the first time some form of success in partnership dancing, it is electric to observe. You see, it's not just their eyes that light up, but rather, their entire face begins to radiate as a smidgen of pride gives them an extra half inch or so of feeling taller. And for any beginners out there, remember... we were all beginners once.
So, blog us and tell us your dance story. Why you love it. I am so looking forward to reading my very first blog... as long as it is something nice.
p.s. Last year, Never Enough Ballroom, and the dance community lost two wonderfull and memorable dancers. Ed Stutzman An instructor for N.E.B. for several years and was a friend... even though we parted on bad terms, I knew that was my fault... not his. I miss you Ed, and until tomorrow. Tamara Purtee. I just hope heaven has a dance floor because she will go anywhere to find one... even if the D.J. is named Diablo and is playing "Come on baby light my fire" Tam, I always loved your presence and your honesty, but that, which I will miss the most, is your quick and unending witt. Good-bye sweet ones. Ed andTamara, though you are both out or our sights... I promise, never will you be forgotten. You will live in our thoughts, through our stories, and forever in our hearts. bless you both.
If anyone else would like to say good-bye, and would like to share something using this blog opportunity... please, feel free.
Mikel
