Pittsburgh has a new dance center - a beautifully rehabbed, large ballroom - Pittsburgh Dance Center in Bloomfield - 4765 Liberty Ave - Pittsburgh, Pa 15224.
In a nutshell - Holly Kirby - herself an accomplished Salsa dancer and teacher - arranged for every night - a different kind of dancing with the professional instructions pre-ceding the dance. The dance teachers in the studio - are all top notch. I - myself - love Argentine Tango, Swing and Ballroom variety - so I have a choice of three great nights in Holly's studio.
The dances sessions which include the instructions are reasonably priced and you get some delicious, healthy snacks all included in an entrance fee - which is no more than $10.00 - most nights - unless there are some other events scheduled.
Last Friday's - Dec. 23 - 2011 - Lindy Hop (variation of Swing) dance was well attended and well organized with the instructor - enthusiastic if not overly knowledgeable - offering super good lesson with the new dance moves - to either - either for the beginning dancers or the more advanced ones - like yours truly.
Important update: Holly Kirby's Dance Studio closed - but if you google "ballroom dancing in Pittsburgh, Pa. 15217" you will get an info re: the good ballroom dance events in Pittsburgh's - nice part - Squirrel Hill - that take place in Wightman Community Center which has a super good, large - dance floor.

On Sat. Dec. 3 - 2011 - at the main branch of Carnegie Library - in Pittsburgh, Pa - by the University of Pittsburgh - Pitt's - Campus - Ms. Meredith Mileti - gave out her healthy and tasty little cookies - as she gave an animated, humorous lecture about her new "foodie" novel - titled "Aftertaste: A Novel in Five Courses" - published in Sept. 2010 - available in Barnes and Noble Bookstores.
All the "foodies" and "non-foodies" who like to read a good story - should click immediately on the following website - verbatim - http://meredithmileti.com where you will find all the interesting "tidbits" - literally and in general.
Ms. Mileti - talked animatedly and not too long about her novel which sounds intriguing and fun. Her presentation was short enough - so she did not to bore the listeners but long enough - so people participating in her presentation - were enticed to buy her book - very nicely designed by her publisher.
Quite a few people present - purchased her book which is great - since nowadays - the first-time author - has to vigorously promote their first work - which means - at times - a lot of hard, grueling labor.
Ms. Mileti promotional presentation was a lot of fun - so now - go and purchase her book for a "foodie" on your holiday gift list.
