I really don't know<br>>> what's current.<br>>> Tom's out that way! I would trust that he could give you more<br>>> current advice.<br>>> Sorry I couldn't help, but New York City changes, and way too fast!<br>>Ed, what do you mean by "open class"? One where you can just drop<br>>in, or one that's open to any level of competence whatever? If the<br>>latter, I encountered one at Broadway Dance a couple of summers<br>>ago. People of all levels, from near-professionals all the way<br>>down to me.<br>>If you mean, a "drop-in" class...well, I'm prejudiced. (We're all<br>>prejudiced, if it comes to that: we all tend to think the place we<br>>go is the best.) So bear that in mind. I myself take an adult<br>>beginners' class with Robert Atwood at Steps. He's thorough, VERY<br>>clear, good natured & good humored. He has developed a following over the years, & no wonder.<br>>But actually, the best policy is just to shop around. What works<br>>for one person may not for another, & I've found that shopping<br>>around can be very revealing, very interesting, and even fun at<br>>times.<br>>Hope that helps.<br>>Tom Parsons<br>Dear Tom and Balletboy,<br>I have heard great things about Mr.Atwood at Steps. I think I will give him a try.
