Hi Dave!
Congratulations for providing a wonderful dance Saturday night!
It is great to think that twice a month we will have an opportunity for really good live music and dancing south of Seattle. Usually we have to go to Ballard for such a nice venue!
I thought it was a great success from a dancer’s point of view and I hope it was enough of a financial success for you to be able to continue it. Next time I’ll bring more friends to it than I was able to this time.
Thank you again for providing us with something that appeals to many but is available far too infrequently!
What a treat!

Who says you have to work hard and sweat to stay fit?  I started dancing at the Rockin’ Horse Dance Barn in 2003.  One of the biggest reasons I started was to have fun with my friends who wanted to take line dance lessons. 
The Rockin’ Horse Dance Barn was our best choice because fun was a major focus they spoke about (learn2dance4fun) and the owner and instructor, Dave Serfling, specialized in line dancing.  Quite to my surprise, I got more than that.  Ladies, (and I’m sure men appreciate this also) don’t you just love it when people around you start commenting, “have you lost weight”?, “you look really good”, “you look really fit”, “you look really healthy”…  I started to get these comments and the only thing I was aware of was my new dance regime of dancing 3 days each week with lessons and the social dance. 

In the past, I have been a committed gym rat with my workouts lasting 2-3 hours 6 days each week.  I would work very hard to improve my cardiovascular fitness, tone up and lose weight.   Running, treadmills, elliptical machines, ski cross trainers, stationery bikes, aerobics and lifting weights were the way I chose to do that.  I got results, but I certainly worked hard to earn them.  Within four months after I started dancing, I lost 5 lbs., there was extra room between me and my clothes (especially around the waistbandJ) and I lost overall 9.87 inches.

If you are new to dance or a longtime patron, make no mistake about the health benefit you are receiving while dancing...not to mention the fun!
