will be out of action for a couple of weeks
as he recuperates from
recent shoulder surgery.

hospitalized. We look forward to seeing him
back at Michael's
Cafe. Get well soon.
Congratulations to Alexis James, the
daughter of
Mark James & Giny Rae Scuirca.
Alexis was selected to perform in the show
"Simply Ballroom" at the
Golden Nugget Hotel/Casino in Las Vegas. http://www.igoshows.com/reviews/review169.html
High five to dance champion Silvana
Gallagher as
she virtually danced a marathon. Actually, it
was her birthday dance at
Michael's Cafe but the men and ladies worked
her for five high energy
songs. It was a great turnout for the big
night.

How about a super singing duet - Shakira
and
Beyonce join forces for their new single,
'Beautiful Liar.'
Certain to be a hot hit this summer. The
video is great too.
I hope you enjoy our in-depth look at
"meeting a mate on the
dance floor."
We invite your feedback. Thank you to those
dancers that shared their
feelings and experiences.
Good bye to the Roxy, the long time
night club in
Manhattan has seen its last days. The
site will be converted
into condo's. Many celebrities and DJs were
on hand including
Madonna.

Finding
Mr/Miss Right on the dance
floor?
The question continues to elude us, "can
you find that
special person when you go out dancing."
Although that is not
everyone's objective, for many, dancing is
the modern day vehicle
implemented to help make the 'real'
connection.
We all hear different comments, usually
negative, that discard the
thought of making a connection via dancing.
You know like: your never
meet someone good at a club. If you want to
find a boyfriend don't date
someone from the dance scene, or dancers are
to cliquey don't waste
your time....the scenarios go on and on.
Dancing appears to be a
wonderfully healthy way to meet new friends
and maybe.....

Serenity
God grant me the serenity

courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful...
