This Site Has Had Millions Of Visitors
Thanks For Stopping By!!
Dear Friends, Students & Subscribers,
We have, after much consideration, and with great
regret, decided to retire from teaching Ballroom Dancing.
It seems to be good time to stop while we are still able to dance
and teach, rather
than waiting until we are
no longer able.
Beginning in 1962 and till now,
it has been a
great ride!
We really appreciate
being allowed to participate in your dancing lives
While we will
no longer be conducting classes, we are not giving up our connection to the
Ballroom Dance Community.
I will continue to maintain the Ballroom Chicago web site and will also keep
sending out the weekly updates to all our subscribers.
We have missed and will miss seeing all of our students and friends.
Hopefully, we might see you on the dance floor sometime.
For more information call: (847) 757 2227
Or email: bob@BallroomChicago.com
Happy Dancing!
