It's Bollywood Time! This week we are getting ready for our FIRST EVER DANCE PARTY- something we would love to continue doing with a different theme every time. If you've been reading our newsletters then you know this Saturday is the Bollywood Dance Party with our special guest, the gorgeous HEMALAYAA (from the Bollywood Workout DVD, and Yoga for Young Bodies DVD) coming down from Ojai. This party is going to be fantastic- includes food, drinks, an amazing dj, demo by Hemalayaa, and a whole lot of fun! So spread the word! Being a dancer or a Heartbeat House student is not required- bring your kids- bring your neighbor- it will be fun, and it will be worth it! Also- DRESS BOLLYWOOD STYLE! |

Anyone is welcome to attend and no partner is necessary! Chris Hardouin has an extensive background performing, competing, and teaching ballroom dance. He believes in the inherent ability of anyone to be sexy and attractive while dancing. Growing up in a Cuban family, Chris was shaking his tushy to mambos and salsas at an early age. He learned ballroom dance in college and competed professionally for a few years before becoming a teacher. He has taught many workshops across the U.S. in over 15 dance styles ranging anywhere from waltz to swing to tango.
