In our dancing we spend a great deal of time working on and talking about the activity of the body. We refer to holding tone, energy in opposition and maintaining our frame. And then we say relax. This seemingly contradictory approach reveals the importance of understanding the way in which we must be active rather than the usual habit of simply trying harder and harder which can result in unwanted tension and discomfort.

A hearty congratulations to two student couples from Dance Station for their great success at the USADance Competition in Phoenix.
Doug McClellan, Eileen Tenn, David Sitrin and Cherie Hughes all participated in the event held in Phoenix, Arizona on February 20th. They faced off with other amateur couples in various events in both the Ballroom and Latin Dances. David and Cherie danced the Rumba, Cha Cha, Waltz, Foxtrot and Quickstep. Doug and Eileen joined Dave and Cherie in all their dances and added East Coast Swing, and Tango to their events. Doug and Eileen placed in the challenging scholarship event.
Over all it was a great weekend, as an observer at the event I was pleased with the couples’ placements and proud of the results of the commitment to their dancing.
Competitions provide such a wonderful and fun way to develop your dancing skills and to really challenge yourself. This summer Dance Station is planning to attend the Colorado Star Ball in Denver where students will be able to dance both with their
student partners as well as Pro-Am, where a student dances with their teacher. I am looking forward to the progress and fun of this upcoming event and am pleased with our couples representing Santa Fe and the Dance Station in Phoenix. Congratulations!

Dear Poppy,
I love to dance, but when I go out I don’t get asked to dance very much at all. I think that I am a good dancer. I do feel that most of the leads are not leading. They say that I am heavy and they have to drag me. I feel that I am a good follow and that the leads just aren’t good enough to lead me. How do I get to be a more popular dancer?
