Ballroom Dancing -- Paros Style
I am beginning to see a common thread among the expatriate activities here on Paros. Each is answering the question: What ever in the world can I do to support my lifestyle on this fantastic island? The latest endeavour that I have come across is truly unique. In fact the Paros Dance Academy claim to have the only open-air, floating parquet dance floor on a beach in Europe. Can anyone beat this copy line:
Latin Dancing is cool, sexy, sultry and You really need to see the 700 photos on their web site to get the full picture of Paros’ most popular wind-surfing beach, Golden Beach, as the setting for an elaborate interplay among the characters of this dance drama. There is Nikos, the local landlord and his family that operate the Louridis apartments and beach taverna, providing the traditional Greek hospitality. Then you have commercial photographer Kay Will and his dancer wife, Bettina from Germany. Add to that the dance coach Michael Honig who, partnered with Bettina, has won many dance competitions throughout Europe. They compete in the S-Class which is the premier league of ballroom dancing. These people show enthusiasm for life; they have done a great job of wedding ballroom dancing to the casual Paros lifestyle. With other staff they provide a full range of dance classes and workshops from as little as one hour through multi-day intensive sessions. Of course there is a lot of free fun thrown in as you would expect on the carefree island beach. Anybody who likes to dance must drop in anytime June through October—for serious training call ahead. For years I have used the phrase: Paros, the all around island with something for everyone. Each season this truth becomes more evident as each visitor ponders the possibilities of his or her talents and skills and their viability on a small island. What would you like to contribute to the mix? To read more ideas go to work from home at the beach. Read more at Paros Dance Academy

Karin and I enjoy reading about a destination before our journey. We find that we get more from the experience by knowing something about the area and it's history. Know Before You Go! For North American residents we highly recommend our favorite big book store, Powell's. For Europe and the rest of the world you can't go wrong with Amazon.
