Greetings, dancers!
This is the year of online video for BallroomDancers.com. 2012 has been -- and will continue to be -- the most productive year ever for videos and for the Learning Center. In the past 6 months we've added hundreds of syllabus demo videos, and hundreds more are coming including the long-awaited instructional teaching videos! Read on for more details.

New Videos: Silver American Smooth & Rhythm
http://www.ballroomdancers.com/Dances/
Since our last newsletter, we have been very busy with video editing. There are now over 150 new premium video demos of Silver level American style Smooth and Rhythm figures! Come back and visit the Learning Center to see the new arrivals, including 95 Silver Smooth demos in Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot and Viennese Waltz, plus 65 Silver Rhythm demos in Cha Cha, Rumba, EC Swing, Bolero and Mambo. There's never been a better time to be a Premium Member!
And by the way, if you're not yet a Premium Member, you can still view the first figure of the silver level in each dance. So drop by and take a look, whether your membership is Premium, Basic, or even if you're not a member at all! And while you're there, please let us know what you think, either on our Dancetalk message board, or on our Facebook page.

Additions to the Music Store
http://www.ballroomdancers.com/Music/
We have 5 new music CD's! In the Latin department, we have The Latin Sound and Get Up & Baila. For Swing, there's Jump & Jive, and West Coast Swing Music, our very first WC Swing compilation! And finally, for the first time on BallroomDancers.com, a CD mix of both ballroom and Latin music together. Dance Party Hits is a great all-around album, and a perfect sampler or starter CD.
Coming Next: 120 More Video Clips
Up next in our video queue: 120 more demo clips of Silver Smooth, Bronze & Silver Rhythm, Silver Salsa, WC Swing and Lindy Hop, and for the first time, GOLD Int'l Standard! That will bring the total number of videos to over 1,200! The first set to be added to the website is 25 Bronze and Silver Rhythm additions, already in progress.

Coming Soon: Full Instruction Videos
You've seen our full instruction videos for our Variations of the Week. But did you know that we've also begun filming instructional videos for the syllabus figures as well? That's right -- Complete video instruction is right around the corner, and if you're already a Premium Member, you won't need to upgrade to another tier. This will all be included in the cost of Premium Membership! It won't be long before instructional DVD's are a thing of the past, since BallroomDancers.com will be better, more portable, and available for a fraction of the cost!
By the time you receive your next newsletter, we will have posted a few sample videos. The remainder of content that has been filmed to date (approx 5-10 patterns per dance) will be posted by the end of 2012. Stay tuned!
We look forward to seeing you soon!
Sincerely,
