Basil & Liane

New owners of Balera, the happening ballroom studio in Newton, where the Yankee Classic winners come from, I hear.
 Russians, they are quite versed in competition, and were asked to teach competition variations.
 In DTCB, who competes? None of us. We are at amateur level really, but we keep plugging away at getting to be better teachers and dancers.
So, in Quickstep, Basil taught easy fun, and then tacked stuff nobody does because it's too hard, at the end of 4 1/2 hours: Double Reverse Spin, Zig Zag and Running Finish. He thought we could do it. But of course I would need a partner who also thought we could do it. ..
