Hey, great question, thanks for asking!
Waltz Tribe is a private online dance community I'm developing for: -- solo dancers (without a dance partner, like me) -- and couples -- who agree to community rules of positive and supportive behavior -- who pay a very reasonable monthly membership fee (info to come) and receive: -- weekly online Dance Lessons, 30-60 minutes from Peggy, and occasional guest teachers, of beginner to intermediate technique for a program of Waltz, Swing, Tango, Salsa, etc. live and recorded, with technique of one type of dance at a time -- weekly Dance Sessions, 1- hour live and recorded, variety of great music for both open dancing and choreo dance patterns: Waltz, Swing, Tango, Cha-Cha, Country line etc. choreo dances, starting slow paced to start, then accelerating to faster & wilder/ -- private Facebook group of fellow dance learners to encourage and socialize IN DEVELOPMENT: Since this is my TEST launch of Waltz Tribe, I'm still developing some of the structure (tech stuff, yikes!) . . . for hopefully for a BIGGER "real" launch in January 2020 -- "Your Pathway to Dancing Success"A systematic program with Stepping Stone milestones and modules to learn social dancing and measure your progress. in learning basic skills of Social/Partner dancing. -- access to Waltz Tribe library of video lesson modules and dance sessions that you can use on your own schedule Exact weekly schedule of online dances to be decided with the pioneering members, ( tell me your preference in our 2-minute Dance Poll) . . . So I value pioneering "test" members who can give me helpful feedback, in exchange for a BIG lifetime discount ( as long as you continue subscribing) Sound good? Jump into a free dance this weekend learn the Turkey Trot, etc. and find out if its right for you! -- Teacher Peggy

BIG THANKS to you dancers,
new and veteran, who joined this week! Some are my old dance friends from Santa Cruz classes, Friday Night Waltz, Cubberly Ballroom, Starlite and ISI. Which makes me believe his could be a GRRRRREAT community of wonderful dance friends. :-) I'm loving teaching, especially when I can dancers responding onscreen (but its fine to not show yourself too, if you don't feel ready) I'm look forward to growing Waltz Tribe with inspiring and effective curriculum and program and repertoire of more GREAT dances (there's a LOT more great social dances we can learn) and music favorites!!! TAKE THIS QUIZ
Do YOU . . . 1. . . .have a positive attitude to help us build our encouraging dance learning community (no bad vibes allowed!!!!) 2. . . . want to learn (or at least TRY) to move to music, whether just for the exercise or to learn more dance technique and moves? 3. . . . feel ready to invest one or two times/week (15-60 minutes) joining live online, (or by video) dance sessions with a variety of GREAT favorite dance music to dance along either following the teacher or do your own dance mixed with a repertoire of globally popular choreographed dances to learn, waltz/polka/line dances? 4. . . . want the option to do extra practice sessions on your own following our video lessons? 5. . . . want to follow our Stepping Stone Pathway to Social Dancing Success so you can see how you are progressing? 6. . . . like getting inspiration, healthy and trustable information on why social dance is so awesome for your physical, emotional, and mental health? 7. . . . agree to give helpful feedback to me and your fellow dancers for to how we can make an awesome social dance community? 8. . . . willing to invest in your own health & happiness with a VERY reasonable, super-discounted (only until this Sunday midnight --since we are still in development) monthly membership fee, as we grow and improve our Waltz Tribe social dancing community? if NO to ALL of the above... :-( please do us ALL a favor and CLICK here so I can sorrowfully take you off our Waltz Tribe potential members list, and hope to dance with you in future when we do more NON Waltz Tribe dances (maybe monthly?) But if YES to any of the above... . . . or at least MAYBE . . . then WELCOME to our potential members community!!! (watch this space for more info) and jump into any of our NEXT awesome pre-launch online dances Because we've had RECORD voter turnout,
an abundance of journalists reporting freely, in many media outlets, without fear of government suppression, (though not all media are truthful, so listen to a variety of voices) and our vote counting is going on, slow and steady without any actual rioting and killing (that often happens in some more precarious lands) So I'm confident in my prediction of the winner. Because, as unnerving as this election has been, and no matter WHO wins Presidency, and all the jobs let's be full of THANKS for our strong structure of democracy (built on the service of many citizens who have come before us) Therefore, Democracy Wins!! So Let's MADDBA Make America Dance Back Better Again! I propose an instant remedy for our dangerous national division:
REQUIRE every person in the USA to dance The Samba with a member of an opposite political party See Tom “The Hammer” DeLay do this (the dance part of video starts at 1:54) on Dancing with the Stars 2009. If even Tom DeLay could make friends through Samba, we can too! So let’s start our marbled blue-red-green-yellow-chartreuse-brown tsunami… Let’s dance together online, with “other political persuasion” dancers. Our Democ-Repub would be MUCH more harmonious and actually get a lotta good stuff DONE! Yes We CAN ... SAMBA! Now, this week… with big deep breath, let’s Cha-cha-cha together into a new beginning for our nation (no matter who wins the election) Let’s become a harmoniously partnering IndeGreePfreeDemoRepubLib nation! Let's start this Sunday at our . . . Santa Cruz Waltz & Swing Dance |
