Just under 200 attendees experienced workshops, dance parties, excursions, and onboat amenities. Including Melissa and myself, four other top professional couples hosted this crazy party. Jordan Frisbee and Tatiana Mollmann, Kyle Redd and Sarah Vann Drake, Ronnie Debennedetta and Brandi Tobias, and Parker Dearborn and Jessica Cox. Most of the couples each taught about 3 workshops ranging in different topics from styling, technique, philosophy, and fun patterns. Every workshop was well attended and each dance party was always packed and full of high energy. This was such a great experience that we're all hosting a new cruise to the West Caribbeans 2009. So make sure you're all there. Dancefun.com   Rochester, New York Weekend Workshops Melissa and I had a great time teaching in Rochester, New York. The community was very welcoming and very eager to learn. All the workshops were well attended with students driving in from cities all around. Melissa and I loved social dancing on thier dance floor.
