I saw your video and steps package on the net and think this would be perfect

Hi Jay

Could you please give me information about your Dance Training Video etc.


We are a small group of 3 who love dancing and have danced ballroom for 3-4 years but we are by no means masters.  We love dancing but unfortunately there are no classes or clubs in Abu Dhabi where we are now located.

 

We want to start our own little club and have found a great deal of interest but we need some video and instructional help.  I saw your video and steps package on the net and think this would be perfect for us to start with.  We are not intending anything profoundly competitive, just personal improvement and to get people who have always wanted to but never had the opportunity to get on the floor and enjoy ballroom.  We have attracted a great deal of interest and so far will probably have about 20 -30 candidates who want to learn.


Jay - please help and give us some advice on what we may need etc.


Could you please reply to leftwich@emirates.net.ae


many thanks, Rhona Leftwich

Rhona, my alias name is Jay HELP, and I do it with the greatest of pleasure. I’ve helped more dancers in South Africa overcome a similar request to yours, than any other dance expert I know of. My ‘Social Dancer’s Complete 4-point Learning Kits’ is the ideal for you and your group, you’ll have a gas learning from it. Already I have hundreds on the waiting list – it’s a quantum leap forward for the social dance scene and the only one of its kind – it’s a revolution to social dancing, a Kit no enthusiast of the sport should be without.

 

Unfortunately, the package is still in the making, and will only be ready in about a month’s time. Although the video is the main learning aid, the book has 130 pages of invaluable information, covering every conceivable aspect of social dancing. For example, above and beyond all the dances and 50 patterns it graphically illustrates, it has a Workshop section that shows how to combine the variations so that they take you anti-clockwise around the floor. It teaches you the fundamentals techniques and principles of leading, following, the styling for the various dances, posture & hold for the various dances, correct footwork, how to dance in time to the music, etc.

 

It teaches you how to prepare for your diploma through this correspondence course. It has a questions & answers section, covering; dancing as a hobby, how to have fun practising, the pros & con of practising routines, dance hygiene, the difference between social and competitive dancing, how to recognise the different dance music, what makes an excellent dance teacher, floorcraft, etc. It also has a 20-page Dancer’s Dictionary.     

 

The video includes the dancer’s Workshop to show you visually how it is done as well. My videos are enormously  popular. What makes them so is that your teacher’s back (on the TV) faces you directly so that you follow your teacher directly, without having to crane your neck. We show the man’s and the lady’s parts separately and slowly to count, plus we show you all the patterns danced to music.

 

What I suggest you and your group do in the meantime is, order one or two dances on video, let’s say the Tango and Boogie or 2-Step and Waltz and get started, and I’ll let you know the moment the Kit is completed. The video tape with 2 dances plus postage will cost you R145, and should you want to add more dances to the same tape it will cost you an extra R39 a dance. Bear in mind, that if you order 4 dances, you get the 5th one free.

 

Rhona, would you like me to add you to the order list and my mailing list?

looking for someone to dance the Argentinian tango with me

Hi Jay

I am looking for someone to dance the Argentinian tango with me.  I have been running a small  dance school for one year specializing in this and have had training with the following masters:  Gustava Naverio, Osvaldo Zotto and Lorena, Fabian Salas, Diego di Falco and Carolina Zokalski,Fernanda Ghi and Guillermo Merlot.

 

I have been told that I am dancing to a good standard, and will train somebody for free providing they are prepared to work hard. Please can you tell me how to go about advertising this.

 

I would like to have my tango dance school and milonga included in the list of venues in Johannesburg.  How do I go about this?

 

Yours sincerely, Cheryl Borkum

 

Ed

To be listed is free, but should you want regular updates and a page on my site, it costs R50 a year. I’ve listed you in the ‘Partner Search’ section.

Good news

Hi all you dancers

Good news. We have been able to book the Roodepoort City Hall for a Ball on Valentine's Day 2003 (Friday 14 February 2003)

 

The floor in the main hall has been repaired after it was damaged by stormwater at the end of 2001. This has to be one of the best dance halls in the west! It is big and has a sprung wooden floor. Security will be provided for your cars. Tickets will be limited to 150 to allow enough room to dance. More details will follow shortly.

 

Our next dance will also be held at the Roodepoort City Hall. It is the Spring Ball on Saturday 21 September 2002. I will provide more information on this dance soon too.

 

If you need more information you can contact Dieter on 083-629-1482 or Lydia on 011-679-3723

 

Keep dancing!

 
Regards, Lydia Allen

Exhibition teacher totally slammed, it was disgusting.

One little girl said to him, ‘oom, ek gaan nie met jou dans nie want jy is te dronk’

Hi Jay

I know you prefer a name attached, but my children still have lessons on their course in this Rietondale Dance studio, and they would like to finish them, so I’ll have to go anonymous on this one.

 

We were part of an exhibition function held at the Piet v/d Walt theatre recently and the owner of the dance school Pierre van Niekerk who danced most of the exhibitions, was so drunk that everybody was talking about. One little girl said to him, ‘oom, ek gaan nie met jou dans nie want jy is te dronk’. It was disgusting. What’s more, there wasn’t much happening, yet they had 5 breaks. It was total chaos.

 

I know the competition dancers have many times complained to you about what they don’t like, but I’ve never seen a letter of complaints from a social dancer, so I thought it is about time we say what really happens sometimes in social dance studios.

 

All I know is that there are a lot of their few students who were upset on this occasion.

 

Jay, you don’t have to publish this letter if you don’t want to, but I think it should be shown to other social dancers.

 

Best regards, appalled

 

Ed

Appalled, believe me, I publish every letter, regardless of it contents. Unless the writer specifically requests for it not to be announced. Soon after their function, I received several phone calls from students who were also there, saying the same thing, I told them, ‘don’t tell me, WRITE’. Even one of their judges said it was disgraceful.

 

To Pierre van Niekerk and his partner in crime Brenton Watt, I’ve only one thing to say, and that is ‘what goes around, comes around’ and the pupils who left our organised studio to follow them illegally, I say, ‘ENJOY! ENJOY! You’re in classy company’.

 

Thanks for writing, and never apologise for telling the truth. We need more people like you.

VILIFICATION OF EXHIBITION TEACHER AND OTHER SLURS ARE WHAT IS REALLY DISGUSTING

Dear J

I read the anonymous letter (I wonder if it really was a genuine one and not just a figment of someone’s fertile imagination choosing to hide behind anonymity) on the dance exhibition held at the Piet van der Walt Hall at the end of June.

 

I presume that I had attended the same event that is now the subject of the anonymous letter, although I saw it as a well attended event from both an audience and dancers perspective and the anonymous author’s reference to "their few students" is not indicative of what I had experienced that afternoon.

 

I was glad to note in the editorial remarks that you will publish every letter you receive and I therefore look forward to you publishing this letter as well. In fact, I specifically ask for this letter to be placed on the website.

 

In law there is the audi alteram partem rule and it relates to hearing the other side of the story for the sake of justice. Lawyers can tell one more about this important judicial principle and they can of course also brief one on legal principles relating to cases of libel, for instance.

 

I attended this particular dance exhibition, just as I have attended many previous ones hosted by Dancewell, for instance and where many of the same participants and dance instructors participated. I do not dance, but I attend in support and appreciation of those members of my family who enjoy dancing. I must admit that I did not stay till the very end of this particular exhibition, I left with about five items still to go. My early departure was not as a result of disgust in any way or form though, but rather as a result of another commitment.

 

During, after and even up to now, I for the first time said that I had found this particular event to have been very well presented, arranged and organised and that for the first time in the past 18 months that I have been attending such events found myself to be really and honestly enjoying it (and I did not even visit the refreshment counter on one occasion that afternoon!). Yes, there were perhaps too many and too long breaks during the exhibition, but that is the only criticism I had and I am sure the organisers had taken cognisance of this and will bear it in mind for the future. I noticed, however, that the smokers had welcomed the regular breaks! Of course there were some other odd remarks, for instance, too much smoke, or inadequate lighting on the dancers, but then again, that was limited and I am sure that one would never be able to satisfy everyone all the time, no matter how professional one professes to be, or is. One has to live with some people’s pettiness.

 

I read the anonymous writer’s remark that "it is about time we say what really happens sometimes in social dance studios" with interest and found it to be very thought-provoking and illuminating. I wonder what other studios do the author refer to – surely they cannot be the newly established ones? Or will they remain anonymous as well?

 

I watched Pierre dance on many occasions that very afternoon, varying his dance steps from a humorous Swan Lake to well executed dance manoeuvres which resulted in spontaneous and lengthy applause on several occasions. I watched him dance with persons of ages varying from children in primary school to adults, even a lady close to 80 and his dancing and co-ordination was excellent through-out.

 

I therefore think that the remarks about Pierre allegedly being drunk are scandalous, libellous and totally uncalled for. Do I sense jealously? It is certainly not befitting for a professional studio to be a partner in this attempt at character assassination and I must express my disappointment at the injudicious publishing of the letter in question. I think it is disgusting. There can be many reasons that one can speculate on as being the driving force in this patently transparent vendetta. Sour grapes, jealousy, anger, can easily be construed by some to perhaps be the real reasons behind this letter being authored anonymously and subsequently published with editorial comments.

 

Some people may have first hand knowledge in recognising a drunk person when he or she sees one, or sometimes there is just a plain error of judgement by the one making the accusation. If one accuses, I believe one should be able to prove and not hide behind faceless anonymity. The generalised reference by the author that "everybody was talking about it" is not entirely (or at all?) correct. Certainly not one in our party of 13 noticed or talked about "it". Incidentally, on several occasions we were right next to or in close proximity of Pierre and not even mentioning the fact that he faultlessly partnered a family member in a dance. In our society there are so many who are always willing to cast the first stone or who wish to remove the splinter from another person’s eye. I do not think that we really need people like this. Unfortunately pompous and self-righteous people will always be with us.

 

It is a pity that the anonymous writer did not have the courage of his/her conviction to provide his or her name. It is so easy for someone with a hidden agenda, or vendetta, or even cowards, liars, mischiefmakers, etc, to hide behind anonymity. A person who is speaking the truth never needs to hide. By including allegedly corroborating witnesses such as the conveniently nameless judge at the event and other equally convenient nameless students in the editorial, just reaffirms my belief that this appears to be an orchestrated charade.

 

The reference in the editorial comment to "pupils who left our organised studio to follow them illegally" casts an uncalled for slur on my child and by implication on myself who had made the decision to change to another studio. I reject that statement with contempt. Freedom of choice and freedom of association are enshrined in our Constitution, so please refrain from such remarks. My daughter and I are both satisfied with the decision we had made, yet at no time did we make any disparaging remarks towards any other studio or any of its staff and we will abide by this common courtesy.

 

For reasons not mentioned, Brenton Watt’s name has now also been dragged into this sordidly one-sided story by means of the editorial remarks and he is now being labelled as a criminal in the editorial statement containing the words "his partner in crime Brenton Watt". All I can say about this whole sordid episode on this website is: SIES!

Perhaps you should follow the honourable way out and publish this response for the sake of fairness and balance to show that there are more than one side to a story and then after a few days remove both letters from this website to avoid possible further embarrassment for a studio I had previously held in high regard.

 

You may publish my name, as I have nothing to hide, or to apologise for, or to be ashamed of.

 

Johan le Roux - 17 July 2002

 

Ed

Compared with the letters that made this site famous, yours is a cute little love story. You are obviously a newbie to my site. Some irate writer in 1998, when World War III raged between parents and adjudications in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng, called my ‘letters’ column The SA Tabloid. At the time, I was seriously thinking of changing the name from DISA to TSAT.

 

But, if you really want me to not open a stinking, rotten can of worms, of which you are oblivious, then my sincere suggestion to you is … SHOOOS - zip the lip. I’ve lots of black & white evidence that will make you and your daughter cringe, and the one would have to be totally censored. You obviously don’t know the inside shenanigans and the nocturnal iniquities of Pierre van Niekerk.

 

It is also clear that you didn’t read my reply to anonymous when I said, “Soon after their function, I received several phone calls from students who were also there, saying the same thing, I told them, ‘don’t tell me, WRITE’.”  Anonymous was only one of a few, but the question I’d like to ask you is, ‘what if that happened to your child, who had 15 lessons left and was really enjoying herself - innocent of all the adult funnies, would you have still put your name to it? For your child’s sake, I think not. The one child wasn’t that innocent though, when she said, ‘oom, ek gaan nie met jou dans nie want jy is te dronk’.

 

Johan, thanks for the note and your honesty, I’m glad you and you daughter are happy. It’s letters like these that have cleaned up many irregularities in DanceSport, which previously went unnoticed and unsolved.

you really don’t want to get yours and Cuban Corner’s titties in a tangle

Hi Jay

This is in reference to your reply of the "Exhibition teacher slammed...".


I am, as the subject denotes, one of your studio's former students who have left to join with Cuban Corner and I am really enjoying their company as well as the company of my fellow students.  What's more is that Cuban Corner really is a classy place, I have never encountered such a level of professional as I do now.  There is such a feeling of being a part of a team at Cuban Corner, that I wonder how people can think that dancing is an individual sport or social event (which is the impression of dancing that I had before I joined Cuban Corner).


As to the "chaos" of the exhibition in question, it is by far the best dance event that I have ever attended, let alone took part in.  Please let us really talk about what is going on in social dance studios – we at Cuban Corner can really talk a lot about all the fun that we are having.


All studios need people like Brenton and Charlinda who actually make dancing fun again and make us "illegal" students really look forward to going to our lessons. "We" (and I assume that you were referring to
yourself Jay), I suppose need people like "appalled" because I suppose that it makes you feel like people were somehow forced to leave your studio and not because they might actually enjoy it somewhere else. We
(and I am referring to us as South Africans) actually do not need people like "appalled" as there are far too many people in South Africa that are too quick to complain about anything and everything, rather than enjoy what they have. I look forward to seeing this letter published on this website as you publish all letters regardless of its contents.


Hendrik (illegal follower)

 

Ed

Hendrik, I’m going to repeat what I told Johan le Roux, but this time I’ll say it very slowly so that the next writer doesn’t make Cuban Corner sound like a funny farm.  I  p u b l i s h  e v e r y  l e t t e r, unless otherwise requested or, it won’t go in if besmeared with pornography or profanity.

 

The reason why Brenton & Charlinda are so wonderful is that Jay trained them, they even received extra lessons from me willingly, which they seem to have completely forgotten.

 

‘We’ in this mag means SA dancers. DISA supports Social, Competitive, Spanish, Freestyle, Modern, Square Dancing, Line Dancing, and Argentine Tango styles and disciplines for the whole of South Africa not just Rietondale, and it has been doing so since 1995, but I understand… you haven’t been dancing that long, so you won’t know about that. As far as the ‘illegal follows’ go, or what happen between myself and those who emigrated, I highly recommend you stay very far away from that one, of which you know sweet fancy anny. But if you really want to get yours and Cuban Corner’s titties in a tangle, try me – I WON’T WASTE A WORD, and believe me Hendrik, you will regret having ever mentioned it. You are obviously prejudiced by a one-side version of what happened.

 

I disagree with you when you say, ‘too many people in South Africa are too quick to complain about anything and everything’. Particularly the social dancer, like docile, gullible sheep they happily accept whatever garbage is chucked at them without having the guts to peep. Complaining is a healthy sign of a democratic country. It’s the stabilising force that keeps freedom of choice flowing freely – ask any Zim reporter. So I’ll say it again, ‘Anonymous, we need more people like you. And the next time your teacher wastes 10 minutes of your valuable lesson-time talking, or reeks of alcohol or gives you a raw deal in any way, WRITE to Jay’. Now that Hendrik, does two positive, democratic things, it makes students aware and teachers petrified.

 

The purpose of this column is DANCE TALK, and I’ve always tried to encourage dancers to say what they feel, whether it be good or bad, that’s the real world Hendrik, but social dancers are a bunch of mutes. What’s more, they won’t condescend to mix with each other. Arthur Murray avoids Fred Astaire and visa versa and both won’t socialise with Dance Easy, Latin Look, DanceWell, Come Dancing or any other little independent social school. This whole social scenario truly refutes the real definition of the meaning of ‘social’.   

 

Hendrik, you did one positive thing… you said your say and I thank you.
