]]> Comment on The Jam Cellar April Fools’ Day by Glen http://blog.alainwong.com/2008/04/01/the-jam-cellar-april-fools-day/#comment-3234 Glen Thu, 03 Apr 2008 02:23:00 +0000 http://blog.alainwong.com/2008/04/01/the-jam-cellar-april-fools-day/#comment-3234 Yes, the Jam Cellar is only about 7 miles from my home, and attracts some of the best DJs and dancers in the Washington area. It can get very hot during the summer though, as the air conditioning is not very good. I would say Chevy Chase Ballroom (also NW DC) on Monday nights and Avalon Dance Studio near Baltimore on Thursday nights are also quite good. The guy Jeff you see at the very beginning of the video accomplished a near-miracle with me during one of his classes--he actually managed to teach me how to do the "pop turn" correctly--I could not understand how to do it from three instructors before him.
