Showcase Your Dancing Skills
It takes a lot of blood, sweat and tears to achieve a competitive level of dancing. Most of us would never make the grade. Melbourne Ballroom is however determined to nurture as many hopefuls as possible and have done a fantastic job as proven by the many championships their students have won over the years.
The key way they nurture talent is by hosting showcases at their beautiful ballroom. I have uploaded a couple of videos for your viewing pleasure.
I have taken video clips of many of the routines performed. I can upload the videos onto the Dancing at Melbourne Ballroom section at the top of my Precious-Video-Moments Youtube Channel. I will then give you your unique youtube url to email onto whomever you wish. You can choose to have your dance routine viewable only to your circle of friends. Alternatively, you can elect to have your dance routine viewable to the public. The choice is yours.
Anyone interested to have their dance number immortalized should contact me to have it uploaded onto Youtube so all their family, friends and colleagues can view them as and when convenient.
Put on Your Dancing Shoes
There is no better way to kick off your weekend than to dance your heart out. An added bonus is that Melbourne Ballroom always put out a delicious spread for their patrons - soft drinks, cakes, crackers, meatballs and lots of fresh fruits. You can also bring your own liquor if you so choose.
