Winter is the perfect for people who have always wanted to try this out to get started, which is why we are having a Champagne Open House at 6:15 on February 28th. Now is the time people want to get out of the house, move and enjoy an activity that brings joy to dreary cold days of winter. I have told many of you personally about our Champagne Open House, but I'd like to give those of you I haven't gotten to talk with a better understanding of why we offer Open Houses like this.

Hello everyone! So, I am not a natural writer, but I'd like to start putting a letter in each of our emails to share what is happening and what things The Crystal Ballroom Team and I are developing behind the scenes. First of all, we are so thankful to all of those who have supported us through Membership, Purchase of Lessons, and Attendance during the past year. It has been a full year since the pandemic prevented many of you from being a regular part of our studio, and we are grateful for all of the support during that time. Secondly, we have been monitoring the State of Ohio's mandates and Health and Safety standards, we even called the Ohio Department of Health this week to check on what we are allowed to offer at this time. They told us that everything we've done up to this point has been within their guidelines and they are in full support of our Masked Mixer Parties, as well as our Saturday DJ'd Practice Parties. If you are one of the many people who has been waiting for the opportunity to attend a party...

Are you afraid to start dance lessons?

Are you afraid to start dance lessons?

Story
Amy Ross

Although it can be scary to start dancing without experience, a first lesson uses the skills you already have to introduce the movement of dance into your body. We'll get to know you and your goals, then you'll sweat, experience new movements, and try out a few different dances. If you enjoy even a small part, keep going, learning, connecting! Even though you don't know anything about dancing yet, it can all be taught, and the process of learning to dance is fun, easy, and NOT scary!
