We hope this email finds you all healthy and doing well. We miss you but it does not look good for returning to dancing anytime soon. Most of our group is still pretty much "sheltered at home." But there are a few of you that are getting out and around so we thought we'd let you know about the instructors that are teaching.

By the Sea Ballroom and Latin Dance Studio - 1145 Robert Grissom Parkway, Myrtle Beach

Tuesday's 7 pm West Coast Swing with Newell Defreest, Newell is a Pro/Am Instructor from Atlanta Ga.

Thursday's 7 pm Salsa, Bachata & Hustle with Clara Formosa. Clara is the owner of the studio.

No changing partners during the class. Hand sanitizer and face shields are available. 6 feet spacing between dancers is maintained. The instructor dances with singles if no one partners up before class.

Jason Ramey is teaching private lessons. Jason comes to the Myrtle Beach area from Wilmington to teach. He teaches either in Little River or Myrtle Beach. Contact him at 813-431-6127.
