Ok, we confess... by the time out third dance lesson rolled around, we were all danced out. (Apparently anti-aging face cream only works on the face!) So we sent two of our interns, Emily and Jessica over to American Dance Center for a latin ballroom lesson with owner/instructor Kenneth Kinchen, who gave the girls a mini lesson in the art of Cha Cha and Tango. They learned that the little things count, like the difference between turning your foot in vs. out, correct arm placement, and how to count, step correctly, where the turns based on body movement, etc. etc. etc.They will be the first to tell you that ballroom isn't for wussies! It takes quite a bit of mind/body coordination, and a presence on the dance floor. Jessica was graceful and caught on quickly, while Emily... well, let's just say she accidentally brought two left feet with her that day. They spent some time talking to Kenneth after the class and found out that American Dance Center has so much to offer for both the beginner, and the advanced. Packages can be totally customized based on the client's need, and are really designed to help dancers concentrate on their favorite styles. (And there are so many: Salsa, Tango, Swing, and Mambo just to name a few!) After they came back to the office and showed us their new moves, we're pretty sure they both got on Facebook to talk about their crazy internship adventures.
