The Board member who collects the most money wins bragging rights for the year. Akron Blind Society is the real winner as all money collected that evening will be added to prior donations to be presented to them at the end of the year.

Kyle Simon is a Cuyahoga Falls resident that has been dancing for seven years. He started in line dancing. After two years he was exposed to Hustle, East Coast and West Coast Swing, but quickly discovered that West Coast Swing was his favorite. He was a student of our own Lori Rousar for a while as he honed his skills. Kyle is now a skilled West Coast Swing dancer and he competes around the country. He teaches group lessons in Cleveland, Warren, Youngstown, Cuyahoga Falls, Akron, and Medina. He is always available for private lessons in Cuyahoga Falls.

3 DANCE TIP Series 1 1a - Keeping The Feet Every dance style [East Coast Swing (left), ChaCha, Rumba, Waltz, etc.] has a basic dance pattern. The pattern is communicated by calling out numbered steps, which may include syncopated &s. The idea is to move the correct foot with each count and & as they are spoken or thought. When you step in time, you also transfer all or some of your weight with each exchange of the left to right or right to left step. The count does not change or stop as you turn or change direction, neither should your feet; thus keeping the feet. Why Dancing Is The Most Effective Exercise For The Brain Exercise has the beneficial effect of slowing down or even counteracting agerelated decline in mental and physical capacity, says Dr. Kathrin Rehfeld, lead author for the study, based at the Berman Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases, Magdeburg, Germany. In this study, we show that two different types of physical exercise (dancing and endurance training) both increase the area of the brain that declines with age. In comparison, it was only dancing that lead to noticeable behavioral changes in terms of improved balance.
