Mission
Statement:
Dot com dance is an organization dedicated to
helping people get out of their cubes (and offices) and on to the dance floor!
While we are specifically geared towards dot com/startup or high tech workers, everyone
is encouraged to join up and attend our events! The organization is all
about helping people get out, dance and meet people!
Objective: To share one amazing secret, with as many people in
the world as will listen. To create a great community of internet professionals,
high tech workers (and anyone interested in making their lives better) to dance.
To get as many people dancing, socializing, and having fun as we can.
What
are we going to do?
We're going to do whatever it takes to get people to dance and
take lessons . . . (and it can take a lot!). We're going to go out and
have fun at some of the cities greatest nightclubs, traveling en masses to
destinations. We're going to create a thriving community. There
are basically three or four social dances, that you can learn quickly and easily
and have a good time. We're going to start (and maybe stay) with Salsa
Dancing with forays into Swing, Hip Hop and Argentine Tango. Oh, and
of course, just regular "Top40" dancing as well.
How
are we going to do it?
By signing up for the email list below (just an email
address), you'll be added to a mailing list for the event(s), and you'll stay
informed! We've already had our first event and it was a huge success.
Sign up now! Classes and other socials happen throughout the year.
There's no money, no commitment, no hassle! No, we don't sell your email,
and yes, it's kept entirely confidential. Everyone, absolutely everyone,
is invited (and encouraged) to join!
What
is this about?
- This
is about you, getting out of your cube, away from the office, and meeting
other people! Doing something social and fun, in a cool, casual
environment. You can come alone, you can come with friends, you can
come with pets (no, you actually can't really come with pets). No
partner is necessary!

to meet people like yourselves (or not) in very cool, RELAXED
environments.

a growing community of internet professionals looking for a little more
- The
Great health benefits OF EXERCISE!
- Much
(MUCH) Better co-ordination.
- Amazing
(and I mean TOTALLY amazing) social benefits. You'll meet a ton of
great people!!
- Get
better at your job (whatever it is)! - Yes, this is TRUE.
There's a whole world that's going to open up in front of you!
It's for everyone! Dancing will open up avenues for you that
you can't possibly imagine before you've tried it. This IS the answer you've
been looking for! Ladies or Gentleman - This is it!
Who's
it for?
Everyone - no age range, no salary range, no ranges period!
From the 70 year old CEO through to the 18 year old intern, this is for
YOU! (ed - most clubs require that you be 21). I can't stress this enough
. . . everyone can get something out of this! This IS for you. You
may work at a big company, you may have a hundred or two hundred people
reporting to you and make million dollar decisions every hour of every day and
yet I'm telling you, you CAN'T afford to let this pass you by. Just join
the list - make the decision to go when you've got the time!
Singles, couples, families - Everyone can have a good time
dancing!
Well, like many of you, I am, most recently, an internet
executive/professional. My
name is Evan Margolin, and my
background is from the computer/video game and entertainment industry where I was lucky enough to
co-found a small startup. I've worked, and continue to work, in
significant, executive level positions in both public and private companies. In
the past, I have worked seven days a week, 12-16 hours a day for long periods of
time, and I want to share the one thing which gave
balance to my life and allowed me to make it through the rigors of demanding
jobs,
without many of the scars. For me, dance offered the one thing in my life that I
needed to make it complete, not just through the act of dancing, but by opening
my eyes to a whole "other world" of social, and enlightening, possibilities,
However, with all my good intentions I can't take that first
step for you. Join up! Come out and have fun with other like minded,
start-up/high tech people! Learn how to dance, and meet the man/woman of your
dreams. I'll say once again, the benefits (social and otherwise) are almost
impossible to imagine from where you sit right now.
Just as a note, up to five years ago, I'd never danced a step!
in fact, I was adamantly opposed to trying it, thinking I didn't look good or that I
was uncoordinated. Well, that all turned out to be untrue (ok, some of it
was true), but it didn't really matter. For you men and women,
there are so many people, from so many different walks of life, with so much
diversity, and so much RHYTHM, if you haven't checked it out by now, . . . this
IS your chance.
