Students learn to cut a rug at downtown dance academy
By Gina Kohake Special to the Kansan
Most Sunday nights, KU students Richard Findley and Jen Mellard go to the Flamingo Dance Academy to swing dance under the spinning lights of the disco ball.
"It is the most enjoyable thing I have ever done in my entire life," said Findley, Lawrence junior. "It is something to get out and meet new people and dance."

Since its opening in March, the academy, located at 1117 Massachusetts St., has become quite popular with KU students, said swing instructor Mark Harris.
"It's great because kids are actually touch dancing again," Harris said. "Although it is fast music, they are dancing with each other instead of just bouncing around. Some are even learning other dances."
The academy offers lessons for dances like West Coast swing, Latin, salsa and tango. Students can attend hour-long group classes for $7 or take private lesson for $45 an hour. On Friday nights, the academy schedules bands to perform.
Owner Wade Qandil said the Flamingo taught the five elements of dance: pattern, style, animation timing and rhythm.
Qandil, a former professional dancer, has been a dance instructor in the Kansas City area for the past 28 years. He started dancing in Germany while
he was in college, and one night at a club, a dance recruiter noticed him. Qandil trained to be an instructor.
Dancing is a good way to reduce life's stress, Qandil said.
"Dancing is a way of getting away from the computer and hard work. It's an escape," he said. "It is one thing you can do that is clean, neat and easy. It is a way to relax your mind."
But after a short time, she fit into the crowd.
Mellard, Meade senior, said there was no reason to be afraid of taking lessons. She said she was nervous about going to the academy at first because she didn't know anyone and didn't have a partner.
try at least once."
"It is a great group of friends, and there is nobody here that I don't feel comfortable with." Mellard said. "I know this is something out of most people's comfort zone, but it is a great new experience that you should
Findley said dancing provided an outlet for people who wanted a different kind of rush.
"It is a release." he said. "It's something you can do to get out and have some good clean fun. Once you start, it's addictive."
And Findley said dancing was an easy way to stay fit.
It doesn't even feel like I am exercising," he said.
