Beginner’s Special Package<br />
How to Find a <strong>Dance</strong> Partner<br />
<strong>Dance</strong>rs who have the desire to<br />
learn may stop their progress<br />
simply because they don’t have a<br />
steady dance partner. If you are<br />
determined to find a dance partner,<br />
here are a few ideas to help<br />
you find one.<br />
1. Attend group classes.<br />
Many instructors encourage<br />
partner switching in their<br />
classes. This not only helps<br />
solo dancers have a chance<br />
to dance with others, but<br />
also encourages better leading<br />
and following techniques<br />
by making you a more<br />
adaptable partner to more<br />
types of dancers.<br />
2. Take private lessons. You<br />
will become a more accomplished<br />
dancer in a shorter<br />
amount of time than in<br />
Have you found yourself watching dancing on TV lately and<br />
wondering if you have what it takes to shine on the dance<br />
floor too? <strong>Ballroom</strong> dancing is more popular than ever.<br />
Whether you’ve got dreams of taking charge at a salsa club,<br />
a wedding day waltz with your partner, or your starry eyes are<br />
set on competition down the line, JDB understands how<br />
dance fever can progress into full-blown obsession, so that’s<br />
why we offer the Beginner’s Special Package. For $129.00<br />
you can enjoy FOUR private 30-minute lessons and FOUR<br />
weekend passes which includes any standard group classes<br />
and parties. In just one month you can jump-start your dancing<br />
and kick your dreams into high-gear! Special Events and<br />
Workshops excluded.<br />
“<strong>Dance</strong> — an art form. Body — an instrument.<br />
Learn to play the instrument and master the art form.”<br />
Debbie Dee<br />
group lessons when you finally<br />
hit the social dance floor. Being a<br />
skilled dancer fills your dance<br />
card quickly. Your instructor may<br />
be able to partner you up with<br />
another one of their students.<br />
3. Improve your skills on<br />
your own. Ask your instructor<br />
what you can do when<br />
practicing without a partner.<br />
For instance, mark your<br />
steps, listen to music at<br />
home or in your car. This<br />
will help you get used to the<br />
rhythm and timing and make<br />
you a valuable dance partner.<br />
Drill your steps, footwork<br />
and patterns. Work on<br />
balance and posture.<br />
4. Attend as may social<br />
dances as you can. This is a<br />
fantastic way to practice<br />
and great fun too!<br />
5. Join the JDB Partner<br />
Search Bulletin Board in<br />
the Grand <strong>Ballroom</strong> by<br />
filling out a partner search<br />
card. These cards help you<br />
outline what level your dance<br />
is, what your goals are, what<br />
you need and want out of a<br />
partner and how to contact<br />
each other.<br />

<strong>Just</strong> <strong>Dance</strong> <strong>Ballroom</strong>’s sleek new bar has a vibe all its<br />

vantage point to the moving and grooving bodies in<br />
