Happy Halloween
 
Happy birthday wishes to  DJ Mark,  Paul Pellicoro,  Brian Gallagher,  Ken Roesel,
Diana De Rosa,  Melba Moore,  Rosetta Varuola,  Donna Yacenda,  Moshe Abelson, Loren Gardner,  Kathy Johanessen,  Scott Leonard  and  Lenny Feldman  
 
New Jersey's own Brian Fortuna continues to shine on 'Strictly Come Dancing', the British version of 'Dancing With The Stars'. This season Brian is partnering with the beautiful actress Ali Bastian. 
 
It's finally here, the Philadelphia Salsafest. It takes place October 30 - Nov 1 at the Ramada Airport hotel in Philadelphia. Join Sonya Elmore and La Luna  for the premier of this three day Salsa Congress. If you want to dance and be treated to great workshops and dancing over Halloween then make this your stop.  http://www.philadelphiasalsafest.com  
 
Mark James and Karen Lupo hosted an amateur preliminary dance contest where the winners now move on to the finals at Mickey B.'s "Saturday Night Disco Fever" concert and contest. Congratulation to  
Maureen Borzell & Mike Ochani and Christine Banih &  Rich Weinstein.
 
Three time Latin champion Corky Ballas choreographed a cheesy disco/hustle routine for the cast of 'Dancing With the Stars'. I guess we have come to expect this. A real mockery and poor representation of the hustle. See the letters below.

If your not getting DanceTalk every week, go to http://www.mjames.org/blog/
The compete edition is posted along with other great dance news. Check it out.
 
The Mid Atlantic Dance Championships, Mad Jam, returns. The hotel sells out fast so don't be left out. This is a major event where West Coast Swing meets Hustle. You can expect to see some of the best Hand dancers as well. March 4 - 7th, 2010 at the Sheraton Premiere -Tyson's Corner, VA. http://www.atlanticdancejam.com/
 
It will be a haunted night out at Michael's Cafe, this Wednesday night as Wingo Hom teaches a free hustle lesson at 8:30PM, then dance to the hot sounds of DJ Mark till 12:45AM. We will be celebrating Brian Gallagher's birthday. Come out for the birthday cake and fun. Street Road in Bensalem Pa.  
 
The Robert Royston production, "LOVE N' DANCING" is now available in stores and on the website. Check it out at Walmart, FYE, Blockbuster, Barnes & Noble and more.   Also check out the  "LOVE N' DANCING SWEEPSTAKES" and win an autographed guitar by Taylor Swift or win 2 Tickets to the Academy of Country Music Awards show in Vegas, as well as many other prizes. WWW.LOVENDANCING.COM
 
Next week kicks off the annual "Readers Choice Awards" where you get to pick your favorites. The polls open next week so be sure to send in your ballots.

Make it a great week,
Ron
