Wowzers! I'm late... again... I'm sorry! I'm finally getting back to my normal time zone, and it's been a very busy couple of days at work since returning from Reno, NV at BLISS. I had a fantastic time at this inaugural event! Dustin and Sierra did a marvelous job with all their preparation and execution, which showed to be very fruitful in creating this new event. If you missed out, I highly recommend you get your tickets for next year as soon as they become available! 

To my Barn Family! I am sorry I've been traveling so much for dance lately- I'm finally home now for at least the next month!  

 

Dance shoes~ 
I've had a LOT of people inquiring about the new dance shoes I wore this weekend. These are the new "PULSE" Dance shoes- I'll be posting about it on my social media in the next couple days, ( I hope.) I think they're fantastic shoes. I DO still support the "Fuego's" However, I have found features with the Pulse that I do prefer and like better. More information about those at the bottom of this e-mail! 

 

This week at the Barn-  
Wednesday night-8/20
 -  Country swing lessons will be in the Main room. Deana will be with you in the karaoke room for line dance lessons.

Friday - 8/22 
 -   Dance Day Summer series 12 & up!

Looking to step up your dance game? **WELLP There's a new player in town!**  I'm now the proud sponsor for TWO different Dance Shoe companies. IF you're looking for some of the well known "Fuego's" 🔥 the code is the same <TREVORT10> OR CLICK THIS LINK- 
 Fuego Dance Shoes 10% Off

*IF you've tried the Fuegos and you've determined they're "just not for me" Well perhaps try out this NEW dance shoe, "PULSE"
I've just received my first pair and while they look very similar to the fuegos, all white, and having the same "pivot points" underneath, there are a few things to mention: 
~The pivot points are actually built into the sole of the shoe, so they cannot come out or break off. 
~ The sole is slightly thicker and materials inside the shoe seem to be a little more of an upgrade for comfort, allowing your foot to breathe a little better and not get super sweaty inside. 
Here's the big one- IF you're in need of a more "wide" type of dance shoe, these are built more for you. These shoes are slightly wider to allow for more comfort! 
If you'd like more information or you're interested in checking them out here's the link to their site. Pulse Dance Shoes

They do have a 4th of July sale going on at the moment until Wednesday 7/9. OF course I have a coupon code for you to save an additional 10% off 
Code = <TREVOR>
