NOTE FROM ME:  Thank you, Dave, for sending this and agreeing to send it weekly. I always look at the list to see what is actually being taught.  Dave is very active in Linedancer activities, lives in England, and has his own Linedancer radio show.   I hope you will participate if you are on Facebook.  There are usually more dances being done in Europe than we might have on our surveys but it is a good way to show what dances we are doing and see what dances are being done in Europe and which dances we have in common and maybe introduce some new ones to each other.

Dance shoes~ 
I've had people inquiring about these new dance shoes I've been wearing. These are the new "PULSE" Dance shoes- 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!

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>
