Hi Ira: We are still loving your dance "Dancin' Fool" we do it to the music - Hello Dolly. It's one of the girls favorite dances. Congratulations on your sucess with your new dances - S.B.S. and Sweet Heaven. They are both great dances.

Dear Ira, I have some of your dances earmarked to teach and I am interested in your 2 new ones. Would love to teach Cumbia Amore on Saturday(my next Social or Monday,s class) I find Cumbia Semana and Linda Eh a good substitute for "Zumba, which is the rage here right now!

Hi Ira,

I really like the dances you choreograph. I have taught most of them. I just taught Sweet Heaven this week. Thank you!!!!

Ira,

Just a quick note to let you know how much my students and myself enjoy your dance Sweet Heaven. I taught it this morning to my beginner group. Great dance, I think my intermediate group will like it as well. I have a number of older student, quite a few over 80 years old and they will love this one. They keep up on the current intermediate dances, but love a nice easy one periodically and this will fit the bill. Thanks for another fun dance.

Dear Ira

I have taught the dance Sweet Heaven in my beginner class and It's a beautiful dance. I have taught several of your other latin themed dances and would like to teach Cumbia Amore. I'm always interested in your choreography because it teaches pattern steps, latin technique and utilizes great music.

Thank you!

Hi Ira, Hi Diane,

I taught Sweet Heaven this morning and there were several dancers adding their own "styling" to the dance. Everyone was smiling. I'll be teaching it again tomorrow at afternoon classes in Ocala. I just wanted to say the offer is still open to come and visit us up here. It was nice having dinner with you both.

My classes still enjoy dancing “Cumbia Semana” and so do the class I taught it to in South Africa last year!! They have a great style of dancing in S.A. and they can really move their hips, so Cumbia Semana is a great dance to do. I picked out John Robinson right away in this video with his unique style of dancing. I met him a couple of years ago at the Linedancer Magazine Crystal Boot Awards – he was such a nice person.

I would love to teach “Sweet Heaven” to them, it’s such a lively wee dance.
