MAJOR DISCOUNTS FOR LAMBDA DANCESPORT DC GAY GAMES COMPETITORS FOR CLEVELAND, 2014! 

'DanceSport at Dupont Circle' - weekly  Wed Ballroom, Salsa, Latin, Swing, Tango, C/W & more

 

 

 

BEGIN TRAINING NOW FOR BALLROOM, LATIN AND C/W DANCESPORT DURING GAY GAMES CLEVELAND, 2014 AS WELL AS DURING THE MANY SOCIAL AND COMPETITIVE DANCE OPPORTUNITIES IN BETWEEN, TO INCLUDE THE MANY DANCE EVENTS LOCALLY, ACROSS NORTH AMERICA AND AROUND THE GLOBE:
Start preparing early to learn from between 25 - 30 social and competitive dance styles from all of the C/W, Ballroom and Latin dances, Disco/Hustle (GREAT for dancing in the clubs) Argentine Tango, Salsa and Salsa Rueda, all 4 styles of Swing and more so you can dance with other social and competitive lgbt dance aficionados from across America and around the globe during what will be one of the most spectacular lgbt DanceSport events on the North American continent; Gay Games Cleveland, 2014. In addition you'll want to be prepared for many other opportunities, either as social dancers or competitors at DanceSport events in the US, IAGLCWDC Country/Western events across North America, dance cruises, local social dancing (as here on Fri's or any night of the week for that matter) and around the globe.

Remember, as same-gender and mixed-gender lgbt dancers, we have TWICE as much to learn as most social dancers and competitors. Same-gender DanceSport both socially and in competition is known for both leading AND following since it's not a 'boy-lead/girl-follow world' that we live in. Consequently we have more work to do in order to have an even greater experience 'OUT on the DANCE FLOOR' (www.OUTonTheDanceFloor.org). To be able to dance with everyone to whatever music comes up, we'll all need to prepare TWICE as hard and there's no better time than NOW to begin. (Visit www.LambdaDanceSportDC,org)

 

 
WANTED!
(preferably alive)

DANCERS!
...of all levels to compete in Gay Games Cleveland, 2014
as same-gender couples in Ballroom, Latin and/or C/W.
There is PLENTY of time to prepare for at least the beg/int
levels by Gay Games, 2014.
