For Fridays, there is the Friday Night Fever that happens on the first Friday of the month from October to June. Hope this helps!

I live 350 miles east and not familiar with the Rose City's hot spots. OK that's your cue—tell me where to go… Thanks! comeraincomeshine on "Come Rain Come Shine 2008" http://www.portlandswing.org/forums/topic/come-rain-come-shine-2008#post-38 Mon, 02 Jun 2008 21:47:28 +0000 comeraincomeshine 38@http://www.portlandswing.org/forums/ Good evening We would like to thank each and every one of you for having attended Come Rain Come Shine 2008.

The only thing that you can really do to improve is practicing. Stretch three well before you start dancing. Practice things like sashays, leaps, pirouettes, etc. across the floors and practice dances that you have learned in class. You might even want to make up some of your own dances and put it to your own music because then you will learn a little about choreographing and will learn more dance creativity. Just make sure that you practice dancing for at least an hour every day. I came across a book titled “Think like a champion dance like a star” written by www dot 100percentdance dot com Grant Davies.It tells you the basics of dancing and how to improve on them. It really helped in adding magic. If you get hold of this book, do read it. Hope the book helps you too.

The type of dancing you're interested in more individual and west coast swing is a partner dance. While I don't have any tips to offer for your particular question, if you have an interest in learning partner dancing, any of the swing dances in Portland is a great place to get your start. rose123 on "How can I improve performance?" http://www.portlandswing.org/forums/topic/how-can-i-improve-performance#post-21 Fri, 28 Dec 2007 00:01:16 +0000 rose123 21@http://www.portlandswing.org/forums/ I am in middle school and I just started dancing jazz, tap, Hip Hop, and a Modern "fun" class. I am a little overweight so it is a little hard for me to be like the sticks in my class. I want to go to ADTC (American Dance Training Camp) and Camp Med-o-Lark, which has a huge dance program. I want to go to a dance boarding school like the School of American Ballet, but that is for professionals. Is there any other boarding school like SAB? Moreover, how can I improve my dancing performance? Thank you!
