Heidi & Benji Invade NY
Mark your calendars for a wild weekend of dancing as Mr. Entertainment
Benji Schwimmer and the adorable Heidi Groskreutz spend a weekend at
Mirelle's. He captivated everyone as he was crowned the dance champion
on "So You Think You Can Dance" while his cousin Heidi stole our
hearts. Together they are incredible.
This young talented team are making a stop in New York in between
motion pictures, music videos and dance performances. Benji showed that
he is versatile in all styles of dance plus with his energetic
personality he stole the show. Last weeks social featuring Tony
& Elana from Dancing with The Stars was an early sell out. You
don't want to be shut out of this one. Louis Del Prete continues to
bring the top talent to the island. Louis hosts his weekly dance
socials in addition to being a cutting edge DJ and an accomplished
singer. As an organizer he has brought the best talent to the long
Island area. Benji and Heidi are two of the premier talents in the
dance world today. Together they will star in the up coming motion
picture scheduled for release in 2008, "For Love and Dance." There are
hints that Benji may portray the King of Dance Fred Astair in a soon to
be release motion picture as well. Dancing runs in his family, he is
the son of Swing champion Buddy Schwimmer. Buddy is a dance event
organizer and competed on the legendary Merv Griffin Show for the TGIF
Dance Contest. Together Heidi and Benji are magical. They will share
their dance skills the entire weekend as they will perform and instruct
dance workshops. It all kicks off .....More @ Dance Talk - Louis (516)

Dancing
on Television Vs the Real Ballroom
Dancing is getting its just dues on television with the hit shows "So
You Think You Can Dance," "Dancing with The Stars" and "Championship
Ballroom." But that doesn't always translate equally as well in the
social dance scene. Although folks are sitting stationary at home
viewing these shows, the majority haven't ventured out to put their
skills to the dance test. The Untied States continues to .....More @

Hi Ron,
I just got off the phone with both of the owners of the Pavilion (Boca
Raton Florida) and due to issues other than attendance, they have
decided to close. After pouring my heart and soul into the place it's
difficult to grasp the fact that our beautiful Pavilion is now a
memory. If the dance family .....More @ Dance Talk

Watch out for this scam
There is a slick routine aimed at stealing from unwary persons. They
say that the gang usually comprises 3 or 4 members. While the 3 younger
ones, all appearing to be cute and innocent, divert their "mark" (or
intended target) with a show of friendliness and fun, the f4th " the
eldest of this gang of criminals " sneaks in from behind the person's
back to expertly rifle undetected through pockets and bags for any
valuables being carried. - The attached pix taken from CTV operating in
the inner city shows the Gang in operation. - view this
