21.01.2022 We have been a little quiet for the last couple of weeks and thought we should give a little update. We are now almost 2 weeks into a second lockdown here in Melbourne that is scheduled to last for another month until August 19th. With studios closed we are not able to conduct any of our Ballroom & Latin webinars. Whilst we could resume our Online Training Sessions from home, instead we have decided we will use the 6 week lockdown period to prepare our home for the arrival of... our baby and allow Karla to continue the later stages of her pregnancy in comfort. During the last lockdown period we conducted over 100 Ballroom, Latin and Pilates & Stretching classes with our Online Training Sessions and we are ever so thankful for the support we received. We have spent the last 2 weeks preparing the full library of our Online Training Sessions as on-demand video. We’ve made it easy to access and you can watch every individual episode of the more than 100 episodes of Ballroom, Latin, or Pilates & Stretching at your own leisure. If you are interested in getting access to the on-demand videos of the Online Training Sessions please email us at [email protected] or message us here on facebook. Our thoughts go out to all fellow dancers here in Melbourne and anywhere around the world that are currently in lockdown. We are also envious, but very happy for all the dancers who have been able to return to the studio and do what they love. We look forward to being back in the studio too as soon as we can. Be safe and take care everyone!

18.01.2022 Due to the lockdown of the Metropolitan Melbourne area we have had to cancel this week’s Ballroom & Latin Webinar. It was so nice to have been back in the studio for a short period of time, surrounded by very happy and hard working dancers and to be joined online by all the webinar participants. We will be counting down the days to when we can resume our Ballroom & Latin Webinars live from Star Ballroom again, hopefully in late August. We send our best wishes to all of our fellow dancers here in Melbourne, Australia and around the World and hope that they take care and keep safe.

11.01.2022 After more than 3 months and 102 individual free classes, live-streamed from our living room, we will be returning to the studio this week!!! It was our goal over the past few months, while studios were closed, to help the dancers, to be there for them, to keep them inspired and motivated at no cost, offering our services for free as a way to give back to the industry that has given so much to us. It was so nice to receive so many beautiful messages of support and to feel the... warmth and love and appreciation from the dancers who took part and this confirmed for us that we had achieved our goal. We were overwhelmed by the generous contributions we received throughout this time and are ever so thankful to everyone that supported us. It is our goal to continue our Ballroom & Latin Training Sessions Online as well as returning to where they began live in the studio at Star Ballroom in Melbourne on Saturday afternoons. Live-streaming classes from a studio brings different challenges and as result, after a lot of thought and research, we have decided to stream our Live Ballroom & Latin Training Sessions via a new platform, Zoom Webinar. This platform enables us to stream in real-time and most importantly, unlike Zoom meetings, it offers anonymity to participants. The webinar will also create an on-demand video to allow those who take part either live in the studio, or in the webinar or who can’t actually make it to the studio or the webinar to be able to go back and watch the Ballroom & Latin Training Sessions on-demand for a certain period of time after. It has been easy for us to offer our sessions for free whilst doing them from our own living room with minimal technology required and with no live, paying students in front of us. However, this is more difficult when we are offering the sessions live in the studio at a cost and it would not be fair to those paying for the Live Ballroom & Latin Training Sessions if we were to do it online for free. So, we have decided to charge a nominal fee for our webinars at $10AUD per device. This allows the participants to take part in any or all sections of the Ballroom & Latin Webinar. You can find all details about the webinar here: https://us02web.zoom.us//7515928/WN_ob4duS8hQeW4EyP9eZNz9g On this page you can register and pay via PayPal with your PayPal account or Credit Card. This enables you to watch the Training Sessions Online live in the webinar and or on-demand, after the webinar. We hope that the dancers who have taken part in our Training Sessions Online can understand the need for us to charge for the new webinar service and we look forward to their support and to the support of any other new participants who would like to join. Remember that you are always welcome to come and join the Live Ballroom & Latin Training Sessions at Star Ballroom In Melbourne too! We would love to see your faces!

10.01.2022 During this time we have been so lucky to be able to share with everyone the magic that is the music by Ashley Frohlick and the Empress Orchestra! It has been great to highlight their magnificent music during our Training Sessions Online and we are ever so grateful for the opportunity to do so. If you love the music of the Empress Orchestra as much as we do, please support them by purchasing their albums online, if you haven’t already. It’s so important that we the dancers, t...he people who practice to their music over and over again, legitimately purchase their music so that the orchestra can earn the money necessary to make it worthwhile to produce a new album. There are so many amazing new songs from the Empress Orchestra that we get to experience live, but that have not been produced onto an album yet. Let’s all get behind this amazing orchestra and support them!

03.01.2022 FREE ACEESS TO OUR LIBRARY FOR ALL VICTORIANS We are still here for the dancers, especially our fellow Melbournians and Victorians who are now in a stricter Stage 4 and Stage 3 lockdown. We know that this second lockdown period is extremely difficult for everyone, mentally, emotionally and financially and we want to help the dancers to get through this. It’s so hard for us all to not be able to go to the studio and do that we love after having a taste of it again for a short ...period. So we have decided to give free access to our library of Online Training Sessions from the first lockdown period to anyone living in Victoria. That’s 100 individual Ballroom, Latin & Pilates classes. So whether you’ve seen them all and want to review the classes again, or maybe you missed some, or perhaps you didn’t see any but would like to watch them to help get through this period, just contact us and we will create your free account with access until the end of September 2020. You can send us a private message on Facebook or email us at [email protected]. Although we are taking it a little easier this lockdown and using the time to prepare for the arrival of our baby, we are still thinking of everyone and hope that you are all coping ok. Our thoughts go out to all fellow dancers here in Victoria and anywhere around the world that are currently in lockdown. We are extremely happy for all the dancers in Australia and around the World who are allowed to be back in the studio and some even competing! We very much look forward to the time when we can all see each other again! Take care, be safe and be kind!
