Direct from ABC 7 News:

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — ABC’s hit show “Dancing With The Stars” is going through some changes next season, according to one of its champions, Cheryl Burke. She dropped by ABC7 to give Cheryl Jennings an exclusive update.

“‘Dancing’ is now only once a week,” Burke said. “It’s Monday nights, so basically Monday, you’ll see what you get on Tuesday, so entertainment will move to Monday and an elimination will happen that same night.”

Burke in town for two days, teaching classes at her Mountain View studio and working with her favorite charities. She and her mother are launching a nationwide web service soon to link dance teachers and students.

“Maybe we can learn from what we have experienced as mom and daughter, when I was looking for a dance instructor for you,” Sherri Burke said.

You can meet Burke right now at her Mountain View studio for a chat session, classes and a cha-cha performance. “Dancing With The Stars” will air on Mondays in the fall on ABC7.

How to Dress for Salsa Dancing

"salsa dancewear"    It’s no secret that in everyday dressing, black is usually most forgiving.  And when dressing for Salsa dancing, the same rules apply.

  1. Dress in dark colors because they’ll usually work best for hiding sweat and any water you may spill when trying to hydrate from all that cardio.  However it doesn’t hurt to add a pop of color hear and there.
  2. Make sure you also wear lightweight stretchable clothing; you’ll be grateful for clothes that breathe and fabrics that are movable help you strike your salsa moves with precision.  However, be aware that Nylon clothing will dry faster than cottons.
  3. Skirts should be worn above the Knee or shorter.  Flirty moveable skirts are best but when it comes to your tops, keep it simple.  Wear short sleeve or no sleeve pullover stretchable tops that are well fitted around the waist.  Long sleeves are a no-no because they tend to get in the way of all that fast salsa movement and may cause you and your partner to disconnect.
  4. Wear shoes that are firm around your feet that also have smooth soles to prevent falls or injuries.  And although we like our heels high ladies, lower heels will allow you to move well during spins.
  5. Last but not least and definitely above all else, remember that all those fast dips and spins may play peek-a-boo with your undergarments ladies, so sometimes briefs under you skirt or booty shorts may be a great option.

That being said, when Salsa dancing, the most important thing to wear is a great smile; which you should have no problem doing when you’re having fun being dipped and spun around the dance floor.
Oh and P.S., … a little deodorant probably wouldn’t hurt!

Take notes, Be Safe, & Live to Dance,

Who is KE?

Hi, My name is Karol and I'm a ballroom dance enthusiasts and a professionally trained fashion designer working out of my DESIGN STUDIO in downtown Los Angeles. I'm writing this blog to help promote the sport of ballroom dancing and to have a place for all ballroom dance enthusiasts to share in the challenges of preparing for competitions.

I often write under the name Vivian as a tribute to my grandmother Hazel Vivian Easley who was a talented fashion illustrator and now my good luck charm. What I love most about ballroom dancing is that it expands along all age ranges ... from kids to seniors, the ballroom dance competition floor is open to everyone to participate.

With my love of fashion and dance combined, I'm developing a ballroom dance gown rental business to help dancers offset the expensive costs of participation. If you're in need of a one-of-a-kind BALLROOM DRESS for RENT, feel free to contact me and I'll see if I can help: karol@KEdancewear.com
