OVERVIEW 2010   After considerable travel last year (we didn't teach in London after June, 2009 due to family, a cruise assignment and 2 months in Africa-Asia-Australia) we decided to stay home all of 2010 ...and with our grandson, new house and local teaching, we've had a ball!!! Spring Classes   From March through June we had a lot of fun with our beginner and advanced WCS students. Private Lessons   Summer brought a significant jump in the number of private lessons (WCS, NC2S, Salsa, etc.) ...a busy time!! Fall Classes   We'll run WCS programs for TOTAL BEGINNERS and EXPERIENCED DANCERS ...maybe something else too (see below) Swing Niagara   We've also been asked to teach at Swing Niagara in Buffalo NY ...the 6th year we've been invited. 2011   Emerging plans call for us to be on 3 cruises the first half of 2011 ...14-day Caribbean, 42-day round-trip teaching assignment (Australia to Japan/China), and 30-day Dubai-UK.   We also plan to run 4-week WCS3 courses in Jan-Feb and May-June, as well as a full slate of WCS1+2 and 3 next fall ...when we'll again stay home for a stretch.  And of course, private lessons whenever we're in town.
