August 28-30 Westchester Ballroom hosted "The All American Dance Weekend" at the Villa Roma Hotel in the Catskills. The hotel was packed for the rainy weekend. Our band, "The Bronx Wanderers" had the crowd on their feet and "took the house down" in the nightclub on Fri. evening for an audience of 700. We partied until late at night, taught a vey busy schedule of full dance classes, and performed a "Dance with The Stars Show" to a packed nightclub on Sat evening which received rave reviews. We had a very exciting weekend. I would like to thank my terrific staff, the Villa Roma and everyone who joined us. The Villa Roma is anxious to have us back.

We are fortunate that all of our parties at The American Legion Hall in Mt. Kisco, NY always attract a full house . It is a favorite location for dancers and has become one of the most popular parties in the Hudson Valley
100 -160 ballroom dancers from NY, NJ & Ct. fill the American Legion Hall once a month on Friday all year long.
DJ Antonio always pleases the crowd with an amazing mix of music. Occasionally we have student showcases prepared for a holiday party.
