Ladies and Gents,

Moving right along into the autumn and moving fast!

I don't even know where to begin with all of the fantastic things in store for this studio this fall? I think we'll start off with a tremendous THANKYOU to all of you that were able to make it out to the party, especially those of you who came in costume and/or brought a dish for the pot luck!! While there were some very good honorable mentions, the award for Best Costume went to Pat Wedge who came asMimi from the Drew Carey Show. The Best Dish was awarded to Jessica Nicoletti for her Egg Rolls. We started the evening with an introduction to West Coast Swing but, it seems no real festive party of ours can end without a dance competition lately so; needless to say we ended up playing the always entertaining Scotch, Whiskey, Rye . Well done everyone, but in the end, the last two who managed to remain on the floor were Melinda Gardner and Rick Moledor.

Mr. Brian Cantrell is your Teacher of The Week and proud of it! Honestly, I have to say we're proud of him too.

We are already into the midst of the following week and boy has it been active! Great turn out for both Social & Bronze Class for starters. Keep in mind that next Monday is Waltz III and Tuesday November 6^th, Bronze Class will be Smooth- Position, Connection & Frame lead by Kathryn Jayne.

Only one short week later, Mr. Charlie Penatello will be back in our studio, Wednesday November 14^th & Friday November 16^th. For those of you who don't know Charlie yet, believe me you do not want to miss this chance. He is one class act with the experience that shines through his ability to help elevate a dancer at any stage to a whole new level. 8 of his available times have already been spoken for, so reserve your spot ASAP.

Right around the corner, December 7^th 2007 , we've got the last Mini-Comp for the Columbus Region. This is a great place to get a taste of competition regardless of your level or length of experience. The deadline is fast approaching for entries so get them in soon. Spectator tickets are $15 at the door.

Last, but certainly not least, go to www.fredastaire-columbusnw.com

You will be blown away! By 5pm tonight, Ms. Dianna Williams will have brought to life the studio in its true form and I could not be more proud of the representation that this website presents for our studio!

As a final touch we would love to add some testimonials from our students about their experience with the Columbus Northwest Fred Astaire Dance Studio.

Thanks you and I look forward to seeing you all this Friday.
