President’s Letter — July 2026
Hello Ballroom Dancers,
In June we danced to our theme, “Feel the Summer Wind.” Our instructor and his partner, Jim Weber and Sue Michelson, started the evening off with the smooth C & W Night Club Two-Step. It is a very beautiful and romantic dance for slow songs. Jim Weber can be found on Facebook and he teaches at Studio 22, A Ballroom and Social Dance club. Retuning again this year was Crosswinds Jazz Band under the direction of Bryan Bass. Their 17 piece band comes right out of that Big Band Era. The band can also be followed on Facebook. Their music was so enjoyable!
On July 18, the Kelley Fletcher Band will help us to celebrate 250 Years of Freedom of our great country. We will honor all those who have served in the military. Come dressed in your finest “Red, White, and Blue” best. It will be a very special evening.
We will be honored to have Natlja Sawal who will teach us with a Waltz lesson. Come spruce up your Waltz. It is a very standard basic that all Ballroom Dancers should know. Natalja is a Dallas-based professional dancer, teacher, choreographer and pianist. Come take advantage of her talent!
If you joined BDD this year, we thank you for your support and encourage you to utilize our Sponsors. There are some extra directories and if you’d like one, let Mario Monteiro know because it’s never too late to join.
We need more hosts for unescorted ladies. Ladies, if you’re not getting to dance, wear a dance bracelet provided at the door. If there are men interested in being a Dance Host, 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. Ask someone to dance that you have not danced with before. Invite someone to our dances and introduce them to the fun we share of Ballroom Dancing.
Always a dance lesson! Always a live band!
See you on the dance floor,
Minnette Kless
