I wanted to be the first to wish you a Happy Valentine's Day! When I think of Valentine's Day, I think of waltzing in a field of red petals, then I think of laughter, then I think of LOVE. Maybe you don't have a field of red petals, but this is a perfect time for waltzing with your Valentine!

If you have not heard about our fabulous new and revised Let's Do Ballroom! music CD, now is the perfect time. Designed by dance teachers and endorsed by DJ's, this wonderful compilation has 3 beautiful songs for waltzing, 3 romantic songs for slow dancing plus 21 additional songs for your dancing pleasure. (And let us not forget the Tango!) The song selection and quality are so beautiful, you can play the CD as background music at your Valentine dinner and I am sure it will entice you to get up and dance for dessert!

Because of my crazy schedule, I will not be having the annual Valentine's Red Party this year. However, all is not lost because we are gearing up for the Red Hat Party in San Diego this summer! There will be dancing, dancing and more dancing for three wonderful days in July. Hold on to your hats as more information will be coming to you in our March newsletter.

I have received numerous calls and emails from dancers around the U.S. who have inquired about places to go dancing. If you have a favorite place for dancing, please email me at christy@christylane.com. If we receive enough emails, we will post them in our montly newsletters. This is a great way for everyone to connect with each other and if you are a traveler, a chance for you to try new venues.

So please stop...right now, just for a moment...take a deep breath...and take the time to enjoy all the love in the air this beautiful month.
