Social Dance in Belvidere IL

Darrell Dieringer — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 02:00:18 +0000

USA Dance of Northern IL
Belvidere Community Center
111 West First Street
Belvidere, IL
(815) 547-3928
( map )

7-8pm: Night Club Two Step Lesson (taught by Darrell)
8-11pm: Social Dance
Admission:
- $5 (USA Dance members)
- $7 (non-members)
- $2 (students)

The social dance includes several mixers and a showcase by the instructor, Darrell Dieringer.

Belvidere is only a few tolls into IL, just past the familiar “Belvidere Oasis” freeway overpass convenience station. It only takes about an hour & fifteen minutes to get there from Madison, and it is well worth the journey!

I have been to the dance in Belvidere many times and enjoy it for not only its beautiful venue but for the energy, enthusiasm, and welcoming environment provided by the many people who attend. I usually expect to see over 100 people at the dance!

I am seeking volunteers to perform during the 15 minute showcase in the middle of the dance. In the past, performers get in for free!

We will carpool from a convenient downtown location (near Kanopy dance), meeting promptly at 5:00pm on Saturday, 22 November 2008. Please post a comment below if you can drive or if you need a ride. Passengers, please bring gas money for the drivers.

To participate in any available carpool, caravan, or other accommodations (if offered), you must register in advance. RSVP to Road Trips.

Though this event appears on the studio’s website / calendar, the studio may know nothing about the event itself. The event is listed here as a convenience for those interested in going out to dance. Please contact the event organizer or the venue where the event is held to confirm location, directions, times, dates, cost, and all other details.

BYU Summer Dance Camps

Darrell Dieringer — Sun, 02 Mar 2008 23:19:54 +0000

Every summer, Brigham Young University in Provo, UT (50 miles south of Salt Lake City) hosts two Ballroom Dance Camps for Adults, and one Ballroom Dance Camp for Youths.

In years past, I have attended the adult camps and had a fantastic time. Not only is the access to quality instruction superb, but the instructors are the very people who often judge at the competitions Sarah and I attend.

Youth Camp
04-07 August 2008

Adult Camps
Camp I: 07 July - 11 July 2008
Camp II: 28 July - 01 August 2008

The adult camps offer a full week of dance classes, social dances, performance, and full immersion into ballroom dancing. The organizers limit enrollment to ~250 participants. In the years I have attended, there have been about 30-40 participants under age 30, with most of the participants ages 40 and above.

It is mostly amateur dancers who attend the camp, most of whom do not compete in dancing, but rather enjoy dancing as a great hobby. Classes are offered in beginner through advanced levels and are taught by skillful nationally (and internationally) prominent dancers and dance teachers.

Private lessons are available with any of the instructors. (Look at the website links, above in the white box, to see who is teaching. The current Rhythm champions are teaching at the first adult camp, if that gives you some idea of the caliber of instruction available.)

I have never attended the youth camps - intended for HS students - so I do not know first-person details about them. I suspect they are quite similar to the adult camps in quality. HS students may attend the adult camps, and each year I was there several HS students were participants.

I have no relationship with the camp or with the organizers. I am posting it here so that you may consider planning to add a dance camp to your summer plans.

To participate in any available carpool, caravan, or other accommodations (if offered), you must register in advance. RSVP to Road Trips.

From I-94 East (toward Milwaukee), exit Bluemound Road (by Goerke’s Corner park and ride lot) and veer to the right on the off ramp. Follow the curve of the ramp all the way to the top (you will use the yield sign), merge with traffic, and stay in the right lane.

When you get to the lights, take a left (this is Hwy 18 East), then a right at the next light (this is Barker Rd).

Go straight for about 2 miles to Greenfield Ave. Follow the curve to the right. Casa is less than one mile ahead on the left near the top of the first hill. The google map - link above - is accurate.
