Hello Dancers (and Would-Be Dancers) Newsletter News on Amy’s weekend dance venue picks—opportunities for those who love to dance or just love to listen to great music! Ed and I have been to many of these venues (including many of the listed dance studios), so contact me if you have a question about any of them. If you know of an upcoming event, dance opportunity, or a new dance venue, let me know and I’ll send it out to the group! If you go to any of the venues listed below, let me know what you think or if the event no longer exists (after all, Ed and I can only go to a few places each weekend and have our own opinions!). Please also send pictures, band recommendations and reviews, or any item that you would like to share with others about dancing in the Northeast Ohio area! This newsletter is e-mailed weekly on Fridays (or around that time!). Want to email me? Send your message to [email protected] . October 10, 2014 Weekend happenings The leaves are starting to turn beautiful hues of orange and yellow. While you are enjoying the cooler air, think about going out to a local venue to hear music or grab a partner and do a foxtrot or two! Amy Can’t read the newsletter in your email?

NOTES • NOTE: Sue Stanton still has smooth and Latin dress for sale (about size 4-8) in the $200-300 range. Contact her if you are interested call Sue at 216-246-0948. She says that there is “one black Latin that is darling. I can't quite remember all the smooth but I think 4 (pretty sure.) One is black and red, one blue, one mainly white, and another black. They would fit sizes 4, 6, and maybe 8 because of course they stretch. If adjustments need to be made, I believe May said she would do for free although whoever is interested should check with me first.” Black Latin dress Smooth dress with Smooth dress- gloves--$300 $300 • • NOTE: Sandy Muirhead-Gould is offering DANCE LESSONS every Wednesday from 6:30-7:30.
