Metrotown Tuesdays: Beginner AND Intermediate

We will be the guest speakers at an open forum salon this Saturday in North Vancouver:

Rediscover the Art of Adventure Salon #11
Nothing is more intriguing than hearing about the real-life personal experiences of interesting people.

Our featured guests, Myles Munroe and Tessa Cunningham are both incredibly talented and extremely entertaining. They are the Canadian West Coast Swing Dancing Champions and ranked in the top 5 in the world! And they are going to be here to share their stories and talent with YOU! Listen to them speak about such topics as:

-What does it take to compete and train to become champions?
-How did they translate their passion for dancing into a lifestyle and a living?
-What is it like to travel the world and teach dance to swing-crazed people in faraway lands?
-How do you maintain a world-class partnership under the pressure of competition and teaching?

Wouldn't it be nice to hear from our Canadian Champs in person AND be able to ask questions of your own? Here's your chance!
