Bring Your Friends to Class
Share the fun of dance. Save a buck
or two.
Your friends are always welcome at Momentum. But, of
course, dance can be intimidating. And not everyone knows
exactly what they want to learn. So please tell your friends
they are invited to watch a class or participate in one.
Their first visit is always complimentary. They can even sit
on the couch.
For the months of March and April (2008), if your friends
sign up and list you as their referral, both you and your
friends will get $10 off group lessons. If they come for
March and stay for April, the same deal applies.
Additionally, those taking private lessons will receive
$5 off any lesson taken during March or April (beginning at
the time your friends sign up).
Students who have already paid for group or private
lessons will receive a credit toward future classes or
lessons (through June 2008).
Not currently taking dance but still want to tell your
friends? Go ahead! During the months of March and April,
those who list nonstudents (but yet actual people) as their
referrals will receive free admittance to any one of the
monthly dances (through June 2008). If you're listed as a
referral, the same deal applies.
Questions? Too complicated? Any tips on how to crack an
egg without getting pieces of shell in the bowl? Contact Marcus.
Learn the original form of swing dance. Built around 8 and
6-count patterns, Lindy Hop is the grandfather of all things
swing.
This is a 6 week series that will meet once a week.
Payment of $120 up front (total cost for a couple for 6
weeks) will
include a private lesson (to be used anytime during the
year) and the option to make up missed classes.
Begins February 19, 2008, and ends March 25, 2008.
Class size limited.
Help Spread the Word
If
you would like flyers for you or your friends, please
contact Marcus or pick some up at the studio. Additionally,
if there's a place you think needs a flyer, let Marcus know.
Don't keep all the fun to yourself.
So When's Your Next Dance?

Lifesong Offers Morning Class for Moms
Adult Fitness Class Begins in January.
Hey Mom!
Now that the kids are in shape, do you need some time for
yourself? If so, join us for the new ADULT DANCE FITNESS
CLASS! This class is a great way for adults
of any age to stay in shape through an upbeat, fun, and
friendly class.
There are a wide
variety of dance styles that will be incorporated in this

classes will be starting on Mondays beginning January 7,
2008, at 9:30 in the morning. Cost is $38 a month for one

Contact Lifesong
Dance at 479-414-6583 for more information.
Gift certificates are available for individuals, couples,
or groups. Both private lessons and group lessons are
available. As an additional tip, if you are going to be
dancing with the person who receives the gift certificate,
you may want to consider giving some sort of personal
hygiene item (breath mint, deodorant, a bar of soap) along
with the lessons. Dancing requires close contact.
As always, if you
have any questions, please contact Marcus. Also, please
limit your questions to the subject of dance. I'd be glad to
try to help you get gum out of your carpet or whip up a
dessert for an upcoming bazaar, but you'd probably be better
off on your own.
