Happy birthday wishes to Sophy Kdep, Cathy Ricci, Jeff Sherman, John Aulicino, Star Seguinot, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Tina Carlo-Mercado, Tony Troiano, Vince Pappanino, Joy Clark and George Velazquez.

A true gentleman on the dance floor, we are sorry to share the passing of Kosti "Gus" Bojazi. Gus social danced in the Philadelphia area for over sixty years. He passed away while enjoying himself this past weekend, at a dance weekend. Gus always had a friendly hello for everyone. Please keep him and his family in your thoughts and prayers.

A memorable video collage has been put together on Youtube. This is from January 18, 2008, the Tribute to Arte Phillips. Enjoy and always keep Arte with you. http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=D34F8485C2FF4B48

One of the original members of the singing group the Chi-Lites has passed away. We are saddened to announce the loss of Robert "Squirrel" Lester. The band was preparing to celebrate their 50th Anniversary. The group, called a doo wop style, racked up 11 top ten hits.

Congratulation to Terry Roseborough. He has given Jen McDonough a ring and asked for her hand in marriage. We are very happy for them both.
