BLS Dance Club Videos

Hustle was the dance of the night. Can you name the different dances? Our thanks to DJ Rick Pinedo, our videographer!

In 2001, BLS once again came together to celebrate the joy of dancing with National Ballroom Dance Week performances by amateur, pro-am, and professional dancers -- just three weeks after our country suffered the horrendous al-Queada terrorist attack on NYC's Twin Towers and the Pentagon in Virginia. -- Converted digitally from original VHS tapes; please forgive the quality.

In 1999, many amateur, pro-am, and professional dancers got two opportunities to show their moves. BLS sponsored its annual Showcase celebrating National Ballroom Dance Week in September. - Converted digitally from original VHS tapes; some parts were not retrievable. Please forgive the quality.

By 1997 the Ballroom, Latin & Swing Social Dance Association was sponsoring regular Showcases for pro-am, amateur, and professional dancers to show off their performances each year to celebrate National Ballroom Dance Week. -- Converted digitally from original VHS tapes; please forgive the quality.

The year after BLS was born, then-Arkansas Governor Jim Guy Tucker declared National Ballroom Dance Week in Arkansas to coincide with the national celebration. Several pro-am couples appeared at the state Capitol on September 10 in full ballroom attire for the Governor's proclamation. The group danced inside the Capitol rotunda, and landed on KATV that evening as they danced outside on the Capitol steps.
