President’s Letter — May 2026
Hello Ballroom Dancers,
“May I have this dance?” is the polite and proper dance etiqutte way to ask for a dance, which Israel Peña taught at our dance in April. Offer the lady your right hand, guide her to the floor, and then hold up your left hand for the dance frame. Remember to escort the lady back afterwards. The Bolero lesson that he taught was esquisite! Israel lPeña teaches at You Can Dance Dallas. Contact him if you would like to improve your dancing skills. The Doc Gibbs Band kept us busy dancing a variety of styles throughout the evening and the time just flew by. Hisband always presents a wonderful night of dancing!
In May we will have the all-female band called Satin Dolls under the direction of Carolyn Lee Jones. Check out her website, www.carolynleejones.com You won’t want to miss their smooth style of music and variety. Returning to BDD will be Champion Dancer and Choreographer, Beata Howe, where we will learn a three count dance step in 4/4 time: The Hustle. Find out more at Beata’s site online and at Facebook www.dancewithbeata.com YYEEAAAAHHHHH!
For those who have joined a membership of Ballroom Dance Dallas, our 2026 directory will be coming out soon, hopefully by our May 16 dance. Be on the lookout for your copy. If you joined BDD this year, we thank you for your support and encourage you to utilize our Sponsors.
If you have a favorite style of dance or a particular song you would like to have during our break, please feel free to text me the genre, composer, artist, etc. (575-571-6829). Let’s make it happen!
And, if you are interested in being a Dance Host, or know someone who would, please text our Dance Host Coordinator, Merlyn Monteiro at 214-546-4682.
Our dance community thrives when we continue to grow. Spread the joy of dance with your friends. Invite someone to our dances and introduce them to the fun we share of Ballroom Dancing. Always a dance lesson! Always a live band!
