November Newsletter 2007
Welcome to the Backbeat November Newsletter – keeping you in the dance
loop.
Mardi Gras – Carnival
November has only just begun and we’ve started this month with a
bang! Mardi Gras
- Carnival was a huge success, those who didn’t make it missed out on a great
night with performances from Backbeat and a brilliant routine by Alan &
Holly, from Le Step on the Gold Coast.
The night also included special numbers from Ted and Owen who sang us
some fantastic songs, you guys are talented. The costumes and bright colours lit up the dance floor and people danced ‘til their
toes fell off. It was a great night and we’ll keep you posted for the next
party. Congratulations to Leone and Eleanor for a top night!
Private lessons are
here
Backbeat offer private lessons for those who are keen to improve their
dancing. Ray has completed a private
studio that is the perfect location to learn some sexy
moves, get ready for any special occasion or weddings. Catch up with Suzie or Ray if you’re keen for
some private lessons.

Ross’s dance Tips
Keep your steps small:
- if your steps are
too large it is easy to get out of time with your dance partner
- stepping back too
far can lose essential arm tension and hand contact
- small steps gives you
more opportunity for styling, eye contact, attitude and smiling
:)
- They enable you
to hold your partner closer and move with confidence and balance
The steps maybe small but the improvement in your dancing will be huge.
Thanks Ross, stay tuned for Maggie’s dance tips in our next newsletter!
