Dancing Downtown

There is so much going on this week, especially a lot of dancing! There is something happening everyday/night that gives everyone a chance to feature their best dance moves.

Dance Life Dance Studio has a ton of fabulous events happening this week!  They are hosting a workshop with guest instructor Ashley Minzes on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday nights this week 7pm-9pm.  You can learn the Rumba on Monday, beginner West Coast Swing on Tuesday, and the Hustle and East Coast Swing on Wednesday!  It’s $30 per class.  You can check their website, www.pcdancelife.com, or call them at 850-215-4453 for more information.

In celebration of an extra party in August, something that only happens once in a blue moon, Dance Life is hosting their first ever Blue Moon Party!  Wear your most comfortable blue jeans or your prettiest blue dress and have fun with the Dance Life family on August 30th, 7pm-9pm! It’s $10 per person and a great way to try out your new dance moves, or learn them!  They are also sponsoring another Backstage Pass concert at the Marina Civic Center on August 31^st at 6:30pm.  It’s only $5 to get in!  On Saturday, they are hosting a “West Coast in a Day” workshop.  This relaxed workshop is designed to build on previous experience, from Tuesday's beginner's workshop or before.   As always you will learn not only the steps and patterns but how to link moves, turning & spinning, freestyle techniques.  As well as being taught the moves, you will also learn how to string them together so you can “freestyle” your way through a dance and you will immediately have a repertoire of core beginner’s moves.  The fee for this workshop is $75.  

Dance Life also has tickets for sale for their 007 Casino Royale Murder Mystery Ball taking place on September 22, 2012 ($50 through August, they go up in September).  This will be a fun filled night of great food, mystery, and dancing! I’m excited for this event; it’s going to be so much fun!

Stop by Franci’s this week to “dance for discounts!”  All you have to do is dance a little jig for them and you will receive 25% off your purchase! Even if you can’t dance, give it a shot and you will get a discount.

As always, Elegant Endeavors has sales on select booths.

Love Me Again (located at 229 Harrison Avenue, next to Gaston’s Hideaway) is having a By One Get One ½ off sale on all their clothing a shoes.  They have some really cute and unique items, so take advantage of this wonderful sale!

Sugar Boogers raised $756 for the Animal Rescue Center of Bay County last Monday!  People really came out and showed their support!

Make sure you check out our Downtown Deals for the different coupons offered from our Downtown Merchants!  When you go shopping, mention that you saw their sales and offers in this blog.

FYI, next week’s blog will be a few days late because I am currently on vacation, but I expect to hear about your Downtown experiences from this week!
