I appreciate all comments. I have just posted a vido on the Graystone Ballroom. Go to: About Us / Partner Dancing and you can view the video on Graystone. I will be posting the Detroit Bop and Ballroom. Let me know what you think. Do you find this valuable?

Thanks for your prompt reply on graystone ballroom dancing. The clips were very helpful towards my visualing the graceful rhythm and steps needed on the dance floor. I'm from Toledo, Ohio and to the best of my knowledge graystone is not being taught by the local tight knit group of instructors. Apparently, my deceased father-in-law learned it during the 1940's. My wife loved to dance with him because he could lead and she could follow. I enjoyed watching them dance. However, I never had graystone lessons so I don't understand timing, rhythm, and how to lead. With the rising cost of gas I have been stuck here in Toledo like many others hoping that someone will come to our rescue. Ball room dancing is on the move locally. I just want to be a part of it. Thanks. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

Just recently we made a trip to Cleveland for an Event "Dance Fusion" we conducted a Graystone Ballroom workshop. The Gentlemen of Ballroom were in attendance as well as others from the surrounding area. We will be more than happy to conduct a workshop in Toledo that will give you more detail on the dance. Let me know if this is something you and others in your city will be interested in and together we can try arrange for this to happen.
P.S. I do understand about the gas prices.
