I can make you the most attractive person on & off the dance floor by helping you lose weight, get fit, and feel healthy. Dancing can even help you with depression by calming your anxiety and making you a happier person. Let me help you become a great dancer, it will build your confidence level even if you have never danced a single step in your entire life. Stop saying you have no rhythm or two left feet and start dancing today.

USA ~ Ballroom Dancing of America:
Greater Daytona Chapter Dance

Herb & Evelyn Barth:
Just Dancing ~ South Daytona

The first two links welcome you to come without a partner. Call first. The last link, Just Dancing, is most comfortable if you get private lessons or bring a partner to one of their group lessons.

Historical Florida ~ Lighthouses and Forts

From time to time, our nation's oldest city will be featured, circa 1565. The Old City is of course, St. Augustine! I lived there for just under 3 years. Not much changes there, which is nice when it otherwise seems like change is constant. Note that St. Augustine is technically in North Florida.

Lighthouses to visit:
Ponce Inlet Lighthouse
Saint Augustine Lighthouse

Forts ~ National Monuments in Saint Augustine:
Note: Fort Matanzas is free, but donations are accepted.
Fort Matanzas
Castillo de San Marco

Enjoy these places and perspectives. Real Florida is all about water and nature!

Volusia County Social Groups

A great big blog welcome to you!

Here's the plan, we'll start off sharing some organized groups. Then, we'll share Things to Do in East Central Florida on the basis of sports, social, cultural, and other activities. Note whether these are private, pubic, pay or free Things to Do. There's always a very interesting mix of events and activities throughout the year in this area.

Daytona Beach, Ormond, Holly Hill, South Daytona, Port Orange (not to mention Flagler to the north and New Symrna/Edgewater to the south) have a wealth of Things to Do posted on their websites. Things to Do in East Central Florida intends to gather all of this great information together in one convenient blog... just for you!



Starting off, HSC is awesome! Singles and not-so-singles can join by visiting the website listed here. After that, you're on the mailing list and can choose to attend events or even host your own! Activities range from biking on the beach to concerts to happy hour... and much more.

Looking for a younger crowd? Then visit YPG. I'm not a member myself, but I know many fine people who are. My co-worker met her now-husband in this group. Find your romantic counterpart, or just check it out and have fun while networking with a cool group of young professionals.
