Hi, it's Nony!

I figured no news must be good news around here.

But it is good to hear that B&H will be on Fox's New Year's special. I hope that Fox takes care of the SYTCDers the way they take care of the Idols.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everybody!

Here's some info I got from off twop.com.

So I feel the need to come in here and plug Benji and Heidi's instructional DVDs that are coming out January 1st, as if they didn't do it enough last weekend at Heidi's studio.

I, as well as a bunch of other fans, attended their beginners west coast swing workshop at La Luna Dance studio, PA. I cannot stress enough how amazing they were with us. They took everything really slow and easygoing, made sure everyone understood a pattern before moving on, asked us at what pace WE wanted the class to run, if we wanted different music, etc. It was the most fun and comfortable dance class I've ever been to. And yet, we got so much done in just one hour. At the start of the class Benji asked how many of us had never taken lessons before. Nearly all of us raised our hands. By the end of the class, the two of them had us social dancing (where the follower does whatever the leader wants and they improv). You can tell how much they love doing this, and how much it means to them to get WCS out there. They are amazing teachers individually, and as a pair they are unbelievable. I definitely will be buying that DVD set. They made it so, so much fun. I didn't want the class to end.

If anyone lives near Bensalem, PA...Heidi teaches an intro class on Monday's at La Luna. TAKE IT, if you can. She was saying she needs more ladies in the class (wonder why? heh) But I totally would have registered right then and there if I was from PA.

Here's a video of a demonstration they did for us at the end of the class:

The DVDs will hopefully *crosses fingers* be on sale Jan 1st on BenjiSchwimmer.org

Also, interesting tidbit. Benji was telling us about the history of WCS, and he mentioned Ivan and Allison's routine on the show. While he stressed the fact that it was not, their fault...he said that the problem with that routine was that they were not taught any of the basic patterns. It was because they didn't have enough time, though they worked with what they had to the best of their ability.
