   Thanks for doing your perfect work, Brad!

   I really appreciate your tireless devotion — for all these years — to establish and solidify a well known and widely recognized place of honour for DC Hand dance, in the world of dance, in the history and culture of our people in this world and in the Washington, DC community.

   The ancestors are proud of you, and so am I.

   Be well & happy,
   Cherryl

   Dearest Brad:

   I was asked by Mr. Larry Skinner, president of a professional recording group specializing in Acapella Doo-Wop, if I would teach them – or recommend somone that would teach them some hot dance steps, moves, skills. The groups sings wonderfully but their body language is awkward and out of sync. He wants the group to have that special edge – dance. And he is very desperate and says it is an urgent need.

   Although I was taught by the best – you, of course, I could not allow my ego to run wild – thinking I might actually be good enough for such a task as this. Money makes people do crazy things; and I am still floored by the fact that men actually do like dancing with me!

   However, I could think of no better teacher than you, and I recommed you. I said you were the best in the nation! I promised the president that you could make his Acapella-Doo Wop group smoother than the Temptations.

   And guess what else! The name of the group is “Smooth Teaze Singers.

   I did say that you were a busy bee, and that you might have a full schedule but I would forward the request anyway.

   The group is called: The Smoothe Teaze Singers 1-410-688-3788 and 1-410-961-7407. The president said just to speak to you would be an honer indeed, even if the answer was no.

   Thank you again for everything you’ve taught me and still continues to teach me everyday. I am so proud to have you as a Dance Instructor/Teacher/Friend. If you have any questions or need more information, please do not hesitate to contact me at 410-728-3651.

   Sincerely,

   Deborah Teel

   The Friday evening line dance class is FUN!!! At first “It’s a Wrap” was VERY intimidating. Now that I half way got it, it’s a LOT OF FUN!! Kelly

   Where can I purchase dancing shoes for hand dance classes. My dress shoes are killing my feet and my ankle is starting to hurt.

   Lawrence “Brad” Bradford is our resident expert on Hand Dance music. His knowledge includes musical styles suitable for Old School and New School Hand Dance and the Bop. He can help you pick out music based on your personal interests and tempo preference (slow, medium or fast). If you are currently attending classes at the Eclipse on Monday, Wednesday or Saturday just stop by the DJ booth and ask Brad before or in-between classes. If you would prefer, please send an email request to smoothandez@gmail.com and include your contact information and Brad can contact you personally.

   Hi. Just checked out your website and facebook page. I’m interested in a Saturday morning class. Are you still doing the Saturday classes; and if so what is the fee and how do I register?

   (I work too far away to make your evening classes.)

   Thanks.

   The Saturday morning classes are geared toward students who have completed both the Beginner and Intermediate classes. Please check our Class Locations page to determine if there are other classes in the area that will accommodate your schedule.
