Happy birthday wishes to John Fandokokis,
Andre Phelps, Tim Kovalick, Donna Roesel
, Mambo Joe, nbsp;
This past week Levi Stubbs the lead baritone
vocalist of the legendary singing group the
Four Tops passed away. With so many hits including, "Baby I
Need Your Loving", "I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch)",
"It's the Same Old Song", "Reach Out I'll Be There", "Standing in the
Shadows of Love", "Bernadette". Stubbs comes from a singing family.
His cousin is soul singer Jackie Wilson,
his deceased brother, Joe, was a member of both The
Contours and The Originals (Down - Love Town). He will be
sadly missed.
UPDATE: Susan Lucci broke two bones in her foot, expect changes in
tonight's show. Hustle and West Coast Swing will debut on Dancing With
The Stars tonight. Paul Pellicoro (DanceSport NYC) the King of
dance, gives and Tony Dovolani a hand with the
hustle. Make sure - vote for them in support of the
hustle.
English professor Dr. Peter Lovatt writes that his studies on men
attracting women were impacted on how well a man dances. The better he
moves the higher is rating. They suggest for men - "channel Travolta".
It really works.
It will be the 7th anniversary for Mad Jam,
taking place March 5 - 8th, 2009 at the
Sheraton Premiere Hotel, Tyson's Corner, VA. One of the most exciting
events, anywhere. With over 50 dance experts on
staff it's the largest
swing/hustle event in the mid atlantic.

Medical research says that the hit song, "Stayin' Alive" might be more
true - its name than the Bee Gees ever could have guessed. At
103 beats per minute, the disco song has almost the perfect
rhythm - help jump-start a stopped heart. Read the full story

Hey Ron,
L.A. California was great! Going - see "Dancing With The Stars" "LIVE"
was amazing - watch!! It was a great experience - be there &
especially - meet alot of the celebrities like, Brook Burke, Susan
Lucci, Toni Braxton, Warren Sapp, Cloris Leachman just - name a
few- The crew that puts the whole production together was
tremendous & very well done! I want - Thanks Karina Smirnoff
for
inviting me there & spending time with all the pros &
celebrities!! It was truly amazing & I hope - attend again in
the
near future! Pictures of the show will be posted on my wesite site in
about a week at Click
Here Thanks again,
Louis Del Prete

Greetings Ron,
I enjoyed your story on the future of dancing and the hustle.
I wanted
- mention that I was a product of the 1980's and hustle dancing in the
Wayne area of New Jersey, not far from NYC. We always had school
canteens, dances and other places - go - dance. There was a skating
rink that held dances and some of the adult night clubs also had teen
dances, without alcohol. I have a son and a daughter (14 and
17 years
old). There is nothing for them - do on weekends with dancing
in
mind. It is sad, I think they are missing out. I
appreciate all that
you do,
Sincerely,
Regina Casillas

Hi Ron,
I was just reading Dance Talk & the letters - the
editor. I got a
laugh out of the guy who wrote about Plato's Retreat &
the dancers
on Sat. nights. That was us... me & Danny Llaurado, Ricky
Quintana & Lee Rofrano, Eddie
Espinosa & Gina Figueroa, &
Deano Georgio & Jean Camilletti. Your newsletter
always brings back
great memories. By the way, we danced with our clothing on. LOL
Carol

Hey Ron,
Big fan of your newsletter as is everyone here in
Utica. I do have -
make some comments about your write up last week on the hustle. I agree
with you for the most part that it was big business that
drove disco. I
was attending Community college not far from Syracuse, NY when
Disco
took off in the clubs. What I saw happen here was the
discoteques had
different things going on each night of the week. It brought dancers
back night after night for fashion shows, live performances,
exhibitions, pizza nights, new record releases and give
aways etc..
Each night was a little different and made you want - go back. There
were some clubs we would go to 5 nights a week. In
fact we did a lot
of club hopping going - 2 or 3 clubs on some nights. It seemed like
when the music and dancing died out, up here most the places converted
- sports bars and put in huge TVs and billiard tables.
The few clubs that remained still have a dance night but that was it,
one dance night a week. The clubs don't have the loyalty of
dancers
they once had and not sure if they will ever again. That's my
take,
Wes Lawson
---
For those of you that know me know that I have navigated through the
most challenging 18 months in my lifetime. I attribute my
deliverance
in part - my Honey, my genetic family, my dance family. In my
6th year
as a dance "rookie", I'm still not a huge fan of being the center of
attention. But what the heck, foolish apprehension aside, I
went for
it and finally experienced the legendary Michael's Café birthday
dance. - the Leaders, DJ Mark, Jennifer and my fellow dancers
and
friends, many, many thanks for the support; well wishes; cards, gifts
and dances. And last, but never least, - my favorite partner
on and
off the dance floor, a heartfelt thanks -
Wingo.
