By request, we are offering a five week balboa series starting Friday, Feb 4th. This is a great dance for conserving energy, dancing at fast tempos, and dancing in tight spaces. Contact us if you are interested!
We all had a great time at the Eastern Idaho Jazz Society Jam Session this past Wednesday. The musicians were great and there were lots of danceable tunes. The next Jam Session is Wednesday, February 2nd.
Come join us at Vino Rosso for the Kevin Young Jazz Quartet this Wednesday, Jan 12th at 7pm!

Wrapping up a full October...
It has been a full October dancing in Idaho. During the weekend of October 13-17th, we had the pleasure of attending the Sun Valley Jazz Festival for the first time. Amazing bands and great dance floors all weekend. We will help to promote this event next October as it is well worth the time to attend.
Also on October 23rd, we taught at a workshop in Rexburg. We had a great time teaching there and at the end of night
he Jazz House Big Band played. Updates to come with the November dancing opportunities in the eastern Idaho area.
