News about Ballroom Dance Music

July 2006

  Dear fellow dancer;

Summer is here and with it comes hot new CD releases. We finally have stock on all the new CDs that were announced at the 2006 British Open Blackpool Festival.

Unfortunately, we were not able to attend the festival this year but we still have the results for you. Click on Blackpool results at right or scroll down to see who won.

We also have just obtained stock on the Best of Ballroom Music Part 1 Vol. 4 from Casa Musica. This CD was the first to be released in this series, and is the best selling standard CD of all time. Casa Musica has re-released this CD in limited quantity so this may be your last chance to add this CD to your collection. Scroll down to read more about this CD.

We have been working hard to add products to our web site, and we appreciate the patience of our customers who have been asking to see the books, and DVDs/videos on our site. Watch for the new DVDs from Japan to appear shortly. These DVDs are an excellent value and have been flying off the shelves in our retail store. Have a safe and happy summer!

Happy Dancing!
Linda Wilson & the Dance Plus Team

P.S. One of the movies featuring ballroom dancing that I spoke about in last month's newsletter, Marilyn Hotchkiss Ballroom Dancing & Charm School, was released on DVD on July 4th.
