President’s Letter — August 2026
Hello Ballroom Dancers,
Our July dance celebrating 250 Years of our great country was heart-felt. Included in the program, we had a very special ceremony honoring the US Vets who have served our country. Our special guest for the program was Service Officer Matt Preston, representing the local VFW Memorial Post 2195. Accompanying Matt was Robert Bolinger, who represented the Air Force. We were very fortunate to have some BDD members to bear the flags from the different branches of the Military. Walt Hannon – Army, Harold Kless – Coast Guard, Ben DeLaVega – Marines, and Mike Henrie – Navy. It was a proud moment to see these fine Patriots!
Backing the tribute to the Vets, the Kelley Fletcher Band played many Patriotic tunes to add to the evening. It is always so special to see the Veterans step forward when they hear they Anthem of their Branch of Service. Kelley Fletcher’s Band always goes above and beyond to bring us great music for dancing and honoring our country!
Our lesson for the evening was the beautiful Waltz by Natalja Sawal. She did a superb job showing the grace of the Slow Waltz. It was nice to see those taking the lessons taking the large steps to learn from Natalja.
In August, we will be staying cool inside Sokol Hall with the Tropical Flavors Dance. It isn’t mandatory to dress up for our themes, but if you want to show your Tropical Flavors, come show us what you got. We will have a Bachata lesson by Karla Maldonado and our music will be provided by Hall of Fame inductions and Grammy nominated Dave Alexander and his Band. Our Tropical Flavors will have a bit of a country twist. It will be a great evening so get your dancing shoes, bring some friends , and “Let’s Dance!”
Ballroom Dance Dallas needs to grow. Help us grow our attendance each month so we can enjoy our passion for dancing to a live band and lessons from exceptional instructors. Please share the joy of dance. Bring a friend to our dances and introduce them to good times, great music, and new friends to share our love of Ballroom Dancing.
Always a dance lesson! Always a LIVE Band!
