About Us

Ajijic, Jalisco, Mexico
Deb raised her first 2 girls as a single parent and both girls (ages 26 and 22) are doing great. Deb was able to adopt Neisha before she met and married Tom. Tom has never had the opportunity to raise children before, so he is very open to helping to raise Neisha. He is also gifted with a lot of patience and is an excellent father to Neisha. Tom has retired and together, currently, they are raising Neisha in Ajijic, Mexico. Neisha is enrolled in a private bi-lingual school and Tom and Debra have to tutor her daily to help her. Before they moved to Mexico, Deb was hosting weekly dances for her community, complete with social dance lessons before each dance. She teaches West Coast Swing, East Coast Swing, Night Club 2 Step, Salsa, Waltz, Rumba, and more, This blog was originally created to chronicle these dances. But now that Tom and Deb have decided on this new adventure and alternate lifestyle, this blog will be used to chronicle this wondrous adventure as it unfolds. And who knows? Deb just might get this community dancing as well...(lol)

Alright Swing Kids!!!

I went to the Swing kids lesson/dance this evening and what a wonderful group of individuals!  I will be back when they find a regular home.  Robert is going to help me teach the Beginning West Cost Swing at the upcoming dances so that is way awesome!!!

I went over and talked with Jim at Coutesy Ford today and he is thinking about allowing us to rent the showroom October 2nd.  That would be cool!!! I should know more in a day or two.  Will keep everyone informed.

The last Saturday of September is finalized and we have The Brick Loft.  I am so excited about these dance opportunities for our community!

Well I'll write more tomorrow..as things unfold.

what a day!

I was able to get a booth at the Idaho State Journal, "Back to school" community "Welcome Back Orange and Black"  I must have handed out over 4oo flyers and talked with as many people.  I am hoarse now but very stoked.  Almost everyone I spoke with thought my idea of weekly dances was something our community really needs!  I am so encouraged!
Thank you Pocatello!

I am so amazed!!!

Everone I talk with is telling me what a great idea for our community!  I am so thrilled that this is happening!  The radio ads will begin tomorrow and the newspaper ads after that.  I still need that 3rd place for the last week of September...

Here we go! I am so excited!

I have been thinking about this for awhile now. 

My friends and I are always complaining that there isn't much to do here in Pocatello.  We are always looking for a dance to go to.  We don't smoke or drink so there are very few choices for us.  Sooooooooooooo.....

 I am starting my own dance opportunities by weekly renting various places here around Pocatello, hiring DJ's, decorating with various themes and providing plenty of snacks and water  It is going to cost me quite a bit of money so I will have to charge a decent rate for admission to  make sure I don't lose money so that we can continue to have weekly dances here..

These dances will be great opportunities for the singles here in SE Idaho to meet other singles in clean, wholesome, and fun settings.  It is also an opportunity for married couples to be able to get out and dance with each other and reconnect with each other.

Modest standards for dress and conduct apply at all Deb's Dances.

We will have a dress code: No halter tops, spaghetti straps, tank tops, belly shirts, backless, strapless, see through, low cut or otherwise revealing clothing.  Shorts and skirts must be no shorter than 3 inches above the knees.  No offensive sayings on clothing.  No smoking, alcohol or outside beverages allowed.

Our first dance will be held:   at the beautiful and romantic "Brick Loft", 928 N. Main,
                                            Saturday Sept 11th, 2010 from 8:30pm to midnight.         
                                            The West Coast Swing lesson will begin at 8:30 and go til 9,
                                            then the dancing will begin
                                         with music provided by Kelly Martinez (The ROCKINGEST DJ AROUND!!!).
                                            There will be plenty of refreshments and water available
                                            and the patio out to the garden will be available and accessible

The next Friday after that, Sept 17th we will tentatively be at the Booth Barn. We will provide more info as we get it.
