The 2014 Lynn Ferguson Ballroom Dance Holiday Showcase

In Announcements by Robert Danger Byrd / December 3, 2014 / 0 Comments

As avid ballroom dancers, Susan and I will both be dancing in the 2014 Holiday Showcase. We won’t be dancing with each other as you might expect, but Susan will dance with her instructor, the indescribable Mathew Kelling, and I’ll dance with my own dance instructor Lynn Ferguson the 3 times undefeated United States 9 Dance Champion.

There will be around 30 couples dancing in the showcase and spectators are welcome. Lynn puts on the best dance events in Houston, so we invite you to join in the fun as she Presents Her Annual Holiday Showcase. You can show up and pay at the door, but if you want to reserve seats, just send me an email me.

Susan is doing a Waltz routine and I’m doing a Tango. Susan has lots of Waltz experience, but I knew only the basic Tango at the outset of this, so I’ve been drinking from the fire hose the last few weeks and the dork factor has dropped considerably. We are dancing to a version of Tango de Roxanne from Moulin Rouge, which is a very dramatic Tango song that I remixed on my iPad during the plane ride to Cuba to make it more danceable.

Hope to see you there.
