A big "thank you" to David Bennett
who wrote an article for the November/December 2006,
"Amateur Dancers Magazine,"
entitled "Best Cities to Dance:  Dallas".

In the article, David wrote about ballroom dancing
in and around the Irving area.  
He had this to say about the
First Sunday Dance.

"Near Irving, the top floor of the Sterling Hotel
is the venue for a monthly first Sunday dance.
It's one of the better regular social dances
in DFW attracting mostly upscale singles."




Much thanks to Mark Abramowitz
who responded to a survey asked by "USA Dance, Inc."
for "The 10 Best Cities to Live in if you are a
Ballroom Dancer."

Mark's nomination was selected and was published
in the USA Dance, Inc. Publication,
"Amateur Dancers"
November/December 2005 Issue.

Mark wrote, "I would like to nominate the
Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex
as having a very good climate for ballroom dancing.
There are high quality classes all other this area
as well as the best availability of single
female dancers if you are a single male.
Single female dancers in the 40 to 75 age group
are in abundance at almost all places where
there is active ballroom dancing in Ft. Worth,
Dallas and many smaller towns in between."

Next, Mark says, "Traveling to the Dallas area
for ballroom dancing, we find no shortage of good
ballroom dancers or places to go.  First, there
is the "First Sunday" ballroom dances at the
Sterling Hotel in Irving, TX just outside Dallas.  
Quite a popular place for single ballroom dancers
where the ladies outnumber the men I would say
by at least 2 to 1.  This popular spot is
12 floors up in the Penthouse level of the hotel
and is a spot for excellent dance exhibitions
during the monthly dances as well as
attendance by several dance instructors who
teach in the local area.  Dance hosts
available."

Thank you, Mark!  All ballroom dancers
in Dallas/Ft. Worth
appreciate you nominating the
metroplex as a major ballroom dance area.
