Appel Swing Party...Houston, Tx
I held Another Swing party in Houston on Saturday, May 13. It was a very good party, not as large as most of my parties, but it was packed with mostly new people...at least new to my party. SWEET!
I will probably never schedule another party in the month of May again. There are just too many great functions that happen at the same time and not everyone can attend everything. I also, did not have workshops ahead of time which will not happen again. I think that the workshop's help get the party...partying sooner:-) That and the wine:-)
So many beautiful ladies...So little David:-)
I played a lot of new swing music that evening. As usual I spent hours scouring the stores and internet for music. It is not a business or a hobby...it is an obsession! I like finding good music. I could play what I know is safe but, I occasionally like to try something new and different. If it works I play it again. If not then I scrap it or use it for teaching.
Speaking of music...I released my website AppelDance.com
On my web site there is a link to my iTunes iMix of 99 WC Swing Songs.
What is an iMix? A iMix is a playlist of songs that I can put together and then publish on the iTunes web site. You can purchase the songs straight from iTunes after you have opened an account and downloaded the free software. One song is .99 cents or the whole playlist is less than $100.00. This means that you do not have to search for good music. I have done it for you:-)
It was also exciting to see Brian Spivey and Valerie Menard debut their awesome classic swing routine to "Baby Get Lost" by Queen Latifah. It was a fabulous performance, especially for the first time on the floor and I was glad that I could provide a good venue for them to debut their swing routine. As usual Valerie was sexy as ever and had everyone's attention immediately, while Brian demonstrated what a man with rhythm looks like. It was fun to watch and I will be looking forward to seeing them compete in Atlanta at the Grand Nationals.
Good Luck Guys!
