President’s Letter — June 2026
Hello Ballroom Dancers,
In May we had a wonderful time at “May I have this Dance.” Beata Howe and Roy Plutchik definitely taugh us the moves of the fast paced 1970s Hustle. They did an amazing job! The improv Jack and Jill performance by Roy Plutchik and Stacy Martin was fantastic! We also had the The Satin Dolls Band under the direction of Carolyn Lee Jones. Their music was just awesome!
The first day of summer in 2026 is June 21. We will celebrate Summer for our June 20th dance with our theme, “Feel The Summer Wind.” Our dance lesson will be taught by Country & Western dance instructor Jim Weber who has over 25 years of teaching experience. He teaches at Studio 22 and Southern Junction Texas. You won’t want to miss this Night Club 2-Step lesson which is a slow, romantic dance. Returning will be the 17 member CrossWinds Dance Band. They played for us in January and they were a big hit. Learn more about them on FaceBook under their name. I am sure we’ll have another evening with spectacular night of dancing!
For those who are members of Ballroom Dance Dallas, our 2026 directory debuted at our May 16 dance. They have a new look and I believe they are beautiful. A BIG THANK YOU to Mario Monteiro for working hard on this project. They really look nice. 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!
See you on the dance floor,
Minnette Kless
