Jay - I want to enquire if I can advertise some of my daughters Latin American Dresses on your site.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Regards, Sharon Sasnovski

Ed
Sharon, great hearing from you again. With pleasure, in fact, you would be doing the dance community a favour. Why have her dresses hang idle in the cupboard when they could be razzling and dazzling on the dance floor bringing success to someone else.

What we need are the details; the cost, size, a brief description, etc. and don't forget to send us some juicy dance talk.

Our website address is www.notablyunique.com On the website is not everything we carry but included our shoes, men’s/woman’s clothes, jewellery, CD’s both imported and domestic and many accessories from the United States. We also provide professional discounts, and group discounts. We are also set up for wholesale accounts providing there is not another dealer of our products in your area. If you would like our list of domestic or imported CD’s, feel free to call, fax or email us.  Any special wants feel free to call as well. I hope you get a chance to look at our website which is totally safe and secure for placing online credit card transactions.

Thank you for your time and consideration,

Dale Emerman & Edward Brener (owners) NotablyUnique. Phone 714-778-8801 / Fax 714-778-8807 / Toll Free 1-888-278-1116

Ed
Dale & Edward, it's my pleasure to have your link on my site - which serves the dancer. I have also added your web-address to my DanceShop page.

Thanks

Cheers Jay

(1) Blue Lace - covered in Aurora Stones - R400 - it has a striking collar of solid stones (when this dress was made it cost over R2000).
(2) Plumb coloured Velvet Latin Dress - with matching beads and Aurora stones on it - R200-00.
(3) White Latin Dress - with Aurora Stones and Silver discs on it - R200-00.

All dresses roughly size 34/36.

Ed
Sharon, I've also placed your ad in the Bargain Buys section. Photos help showcase the dresses

It's not everyone that can just buy a ticket and fly down to Jo'burg to watch our icons dance. I think this is VERY UNFAIR !!! There were so many competitors looking forward to seeing Michael & Beata, it's not like we can see them dance every second Saturday, opportunities to watch them dance comes but once or twice a year especially for those living in Cape Town. Anyway, I hope to receive some answers soon.

Regards, Latino

Regards, RGP !!

Ed
RGP, long time no hear from... I understand, the new South Africa with the old senaria. I've sent your Q to Alan Sasnovski for clarity, and Alan is one of the most helpful SADS officials, so hang flang for speedy A's.

Regards, Alan Sasnovski : Tel: +27-12-333 6021 / Fax: +27-12-333 8071

Hi J
Thanx for the answers dude, it really cleared up all the confusion.

Regards, RGP

I truly enjoyed every moment and I cannot wait to see their next production.

Scala Dance Studio is putting on a production "The Dance Masters"

The show will run over two evenings.  The 26 and 27th October 2001.  It will start at eight in the evening.
This will be Scala's fourth full scale production and promises to be an event to remember.  Some of the cast have been dancing with this school for more than two years.  Some less than six months.

The school has however proven itself with regards a good quality production. This specific show will be almost unique in the sense that there will be a relatively high level of advanced dancing.

Light refreshments will be served at the end of the show.

The work is eleven sets and will take about an hour to an hour and a half to complete.

Seats are available at R35.00.

Please phone Mathew at 012-345 3812 to book your seat.

Kindly respond by Friday the 19th October 2001.

Once again do not miss up on the opportunity to see and hear a truly live
and entertaining show.

Everyone is welcome.

Thanking you

Mathew Nel, Dance Director Scala Dance

Thanks

Petula

Ed
The best we can do is place your message in a bottle, fling it in the ocean and hope some helpful dancer finds it.

Regards Marilize

Ed
Firstly, having a Freestyle-Modern background is the perfect start to becoming a Latin teacher. Next, you'll needed to be trained by a pro who has at least an associate level qualification. Your trainer will then give you the best advice. Here are the names and numbers of all the top trainers in the land.

Dankie
