1. DWG LOGO DESIGN FINALISTS! VOTE
FOR YOUR FAVORITE!
To all of the contestants that entered our logo design
contest we would like to say WOW! You are all very talented.
It was tough to narrow it down, but we tried to remain true
to an elegant but cool salsa logo. Some logos we
received were more flamenco or ballroom but still done
nicely. We selected our favorites 6 logos. We will need your help to
narrowing it down to 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners so we
need you to vote! Winners will be announced next month and
presented the award at the DWG Party this year. We will be requesting your vote very soon!!!
Be in the lookout for our Dancing With Grace logo poll.

December 6-January 31, 2006 $15 drop in classes. For Your Information:
The reason drop in classes are expensive is because
when people drop in the series class slows down so I want
them to pay more since I will have to have someone else
take them to the side to catch them up to the class.

5. Ballet Classes By Nonci
Tirado at the Promenade
Interested in better turn outs, better flexibility, &
graceful movement? Nonci Tirado will be teaching an adult
ballet class and is starting a sign up sheet. This
will be a basic class and is possibly going to be on
Monday evenings in the future. She is starting a
sign up sheet for the class. If you are interested
please sign up. I know I will (Grace). Any of
my instructors who take this will get extra credit for
training time. Please email her at
arielnonci@hotmail.com
6. Performance Class Sign Up.
Are you interested in taking your dancing to a new level? We are now signing people up for a performance class session.
We will be having an information meeting about this type of
class coming up soon. We are looking at an April 2006
date for beginning this class so if you are not an
intermediate dancer yet but are interested, you do have time
to work on your dancing level before you enter this class.
During this session a group of students will learn a choreography that they will perform at the end of the session
at a non-threatening location to start. Depending on how well the class does together, you may or may not be chosen to perform at some of the upcoming parties to be held by DWG. The class is responsible for training on a specific class evening and then getting together at least once a week without me to practice what you have learned in class. If you are interested please sign up. This is a 6 week session that costs $300.00 to non-DWG employees.
This class can also be taken by DWG instructors who are not
yet in the performance arena for $150.00 and is worth 50
training hours. If you aren't ready to dedicate time and serious effort please do not take this session. You must be an Intermediate II-III to Advanced Dancer (capable of many intricate patterns and at least attempting double turns and footwork). You may have the opportunity to be hired by DWG as a performer if you do well enough. To sign up for this class email Grace's Assistant Elsybel. Be on the lookout for the date of this class. Once I have enough people signed up, I will announce the date and time
of the meeting.
