MAY 2010 - Skippy's Farewell Tour to Kona
2009 in Kona was an AMAZING adventure. Comments focused on having SKIPPY,
JORDAN, & TATIANA all together for 4 days, and all talking the same Dance
Language.
What an incredible experience. Out
of 50 participants, 6 took & passed GSDTA Certification. Exams find out not only how much you already
know, but highlight areas that need developing. Exams are by
choice. You do NOT have to be a teacher to take exams. Serious minded
participants attend Intensives: Share the experience with others who love to learn.
Details soon on: Skippy's Farewell Tour to Kona - May, 2010

UNIT CARDS:
It has been exciting to see so many people
"reading" the cards and being able to demonstrate great NEW MOVES. The
Cards have actually changed the way many people are learning to
dance.
Watching the speed & accuracy with which new teachers & students picked up the
"Rhythm
Games" was an exhilarating
experience all by itself.
Check it out at a future GSDTA Dance Intensive.
CARDS are now available - See: "PRODUCTS"

GSDTA Certification Information LISTED BELOW
Golden State Dance Teachers Association
GSDTA
is in it's 51st year and is the longest running Dance Teachers
Organization, particularly when it comes to WEST COAST SWING.
For over 55 years, much of the evolution
and development of West Coast Swing has
come from the direct efforts of Skippy Blair & other Professional Members of
GSDTA who are part of ongoing West Coast Swing and other DANCE INTENSIVES. Check the INDEX section
for "WEST COAST SWING." - INTENSIVES - and Educational PRODUCTS.
INNOVATIONS such as: Rolling Count - Centering
Knob - Center Point of Balance (CPB) - 3-Toe Base - Dance Rhythms - Single
Tracking - Flash-Lighting Technique - Power Point - Sending Foot - Upper Left
and Upper Right Quadrants, etc.
were born in "Skippy Blair's Dance Dynamics" program.
The reputation for GSDTA, creating top flight teachers
and performers, has
been making dance headlines for over 50 years. The reputation continues, as
does the development
and growth, through Certification training.
We are particularly proud of hearing how FAST the system
produces results. GSDTA wants to publicly thank Jordan Frisbee and
Tatiana Mollmann for all the Kudos we receive about the
Universal Unit
System(R) and our Dance Dynamics(R) program, from all over the world.
Their teaching and incomparable performing abilities have created excitement
everywhere they travel. Currently they are spreading the GOOD NEWS of
"West Coast 101" Competitions. So far, we have had great success in Kona in
May, Jack & Jill O'Rama in June and Miami Magic in July. AND - FRANCE was
great in August.
Happy Dancing - Wherever it is - Whenever it is
