Project Kindness (We'd like you to be a part of it)
|
 The Desert Classic is giving "kindness awards" to recognize good deeds. We've experienced much kindness from others in our lives and are grateful for the blessings. We finally decided to do something about it and are calling it "Project Kindness." The plan has one simple goal: to encourage people to do something nice for someone else. There are many ways to accomplish this. Here are some ideas ... buy a friend a ballroom ticket, donate a pair of shoes to a child, pay for a solo video for someone, give some sort of surprise to a friend or loved one ... or anything else you can think of. It can be anything -- like the student who is giving someone a spa treatment. We want to hear from you if you want to do something. (Of course, if you prefer, you may remain anonymous.) We simply want to find a way to encourage good deeds in our community and to bring smiles to peoples' faces. Shortly after we started thinking about this project we received a call from someone who wanted to give 20 surprise entries to a loved one. Soon after that, we received an email from someone who wants to give away books to kids on Sunday during junior events. It's snowballed a bit and we'll be making some happy announcements during Desert Classic. If you have an idea about a kindness you'd like to bestow on someone, you can reply to this email, post a private message on the Desert Classic Fan Page or on our personal Facebook page. Thanks, Igor & Irina. No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. ~Aesop~ |

In a recent interview with the folks at Designs to Shine, we uncovered some awesome news. First of all, Maria McGill recently became co-organizer of Florida Superstars Dancesport Championships. The McGills also have another company called "Fantasy Guild Tours." And, as if this isn't enough, Maria recently decided to make her own foray into the fashion world and will soon launch a new fashion line of her own. Wow! Who can keep up with this dynamic couple?
Designs to Shine is the largest production house in the ballroom industry and sponsors several top couples including Mikail Avdeev/Olga Blinova, Emmanuel Pierre-Antione/Liana Churilova, Dmitry Kurakin/Violetta Kurakina and Gary McIntyre/Susan Kirkland. Their amazing designs outfitted Ballroom and Latin dancers in the first 5 seasons of "So You Think You Can Dance."
Fantasy Guild Tours offers fantastic, once-in-a-lifetime grand tours of exotic desinations ... like Rio, Cuba and Africa. Think you've visited these places? Maybe so, but it's unlikely you've experienced them in the over-the-top way that Fantasy Guild can provide for you. Each tour looks simply delicious!
Designs to Shine, a Desert Classic Platinum Sponsor, will be around all weekend. You can chat with them about all this and more.
