It looks like a fairytale dance. You feel like you're flying. And when done at its best, this dance can leave you as breathless as a marathon footrace! No dance captures the aura of romance, elegance, and graceful movement better than Viennese Waltz.

Studio dance parties are ideal opportunities to enjoy social dancing, practice steps learned during classes or lessons, meet new people and relax from work-related stress. In attempting to be helpful, sometimes dancers correct their partners or show them new moves during parties. They may feel this is beneficial, but it can also make the evening less pleasant. If dancers simply remain aware of the following guidelines, their weekend social dancing may turn out to be the most fun they've had all week: • The leader is expected to accommodate the skill level of a follower and convey a sense of complete acceptance for that level. The job of the leader is to lead, not instruct. • A good leader assumes the right dance position (or "frame"), …

From our sister Patch in Mountain View, CA for which Cheryl Burke is a blogger ...
The competition does not get easier with each new week of Dancing With the Stars. In fact, as the weakest celebrity dancers drop off, the fight for the Mirror Ball trophy intensifies. With a tip of the hat to Motown this week, Cheryl Burke and her Latin soap-opera celebrity star William Levy swayed to the smooth sounds of Smokey Robinson and performed the rumba, ballroom's sexiest dance. While a drop from last week, the score still impressed Bruno, who gave Team Fuego a 10. Carrie Ann Inaba gave them a 9 and some advice. "I don't think that was your best dance," said Inaba. "There were some moments when you guys were disconnected and I'd like to see more content. Because you are not just a pretty face. You are a beautiful dancer." But …

Nine teams battled it out Latin-style during week five of Dancing With the Stars.
Apparently William Levy, half of Team Fuego on Dancing With the Stars, hurt his ankle during rehearsal Sunday—but you wouldn't know it from his powerful footwork and smooth handling of partner Cheryl Burke on Monday night. "I saw mood, I saw passion, I saw sensuality and color, well done," said Len Goodman, the toughest of the three judges who last week criticized Levy's Jive. This week the pair's tango scored a 29, their highest of the competition. It was Latin Night on the dance program and the nine remaining couples had plenty of opportunities to shake their hips, shimmy across the stage, while at the same time adding that extra bit of sex appeal that probably went a long way when the public voted. Still, the other teams continue to …

During week four of the dance program, judge Len Goodman critiques Levy for failing on technique.
Cheryl Burke tried to get Latin soap star William Levy to Jive—unsuccessfully according to judge Len Goodman on Dancing With the Stars Monday night. "Well, it is, what it is. You went long, you lost timing during the end part," he said, but was interrupted by the booing audience, "The show is live, you can't say 'let's do it again.' I see a pattern coming. Last week you went long, this week you went long. You have to nail the routines William, otherwise anything can happen." Team Fuego scored a 22, their lowest so far this competition for their routine—a six point drop from last week's 28. Still, the Mountain View dance studio owner, two-time Dancing With the Stars Champion and former Menlo Park resident, Burke, and Levy remain in the …

Looks like Mountain View Patch's Local Voices blogger is off to a great start this season!

By Cheryl Burke Ballroom dance instructors often tell their students, "Waltz is the mother of all dances." That statement is based in part on its popularity, dating back to the 16th century. Regarded as the "mother of all dances" also means this is a dance that opens doors to other styles and a better "presence" on the floor, whether you're doing a Rumba, a Foxtrot or any other ballroom dance. ...

"Not dance above their partners level" - very important. Took me a couple years to learn this (I do Argentine Tango) - now dancing is so much more fun. Best wishes to you Cheryl. more ›
