www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver Weekend, Saturday January 24, 2009 - 19 Bride and Groom Advertorial Valentine's Day Gift Ideas The Wedding Dance Your soul mate looks deep into your eyes and raises his hands to invite you onto the floor. As the music begins, tears swell up from your family and friends who are about to witness the time-honoured tradition of ... the FIRST DANCE. Have you given any thought yet about which dance that you will be doing at your Wedding? Ballroom Dance studios like danceScape provide emergency dance lesson packages of four to nine sessions. States Artistic Director, Beverley Cayton-Tang, "Professional Ballroom instructors can create choreography that suits your personalities. The process involves putting together some simple basic steps, and adding a few fun dips and twirls that are sure to wow your guests. If you've got more time, consider taking a group class first, and then follow up with some private lessons." Beverley is a former 3-time Canadian and 2-time North American Amateur Ballroom Champion who danced a "Social Foxtrot" at her own wedding. Ideally, you still have a few months yet before the big day, but if you've left it to the last minute, there is still hope! danceScape's "For Absolute Beginners Only" Ballroom Dancing 2-DVD instructional video set covers all the basic steps for seven social dances. The most romantic tend to be Foxtrot, Rumba and Waltz. For the more daring, Tango is dramatic; and Swing or Salsa is lots of fun.

Here are some guidelines for using registries successfully: · Register three to six months before the wedding. · Visit the store during off-hours, so you can examine patterns and consider your choices in a relaxed environment. · Give yourselves plenty of time to select what you like. · Take advantage of registry consultants. · Register in a variety of price ranges. · Use your imagination. China, crystal, silver, linen and housewares are classic wedding gifts - but consider registering for other items as well. Tel: (905) 633-8808 E-mail: events@dancescape.com www.dancescape.com
