Dancing Like the Stars |
|
By Janice Gaston
JOURNAL REPORTER
Sunday, October 22, 2006
...As a disco ball
twirled, sending shards of light throughout the darkened
room, the music shifted to a waltz. The couples took to
the floor with big, sweeping steps, swirling around the
room. Feet that had stumbled and stomped through the
mambo moved surely and gracefully.Similar scenes
are being staged all across America as people try to
imitate the moves of football great Emmitt Smith and
actress Monique Coleman from ABC's Dancing With the
Stars - or simply try to learn enough to get by on the
dance floor.
Ballroom is
back.
Teachers at
several local dance studios said that such shows as
Dancing With the Stars and So You Think You Can Dance
have increased the demand for ballroom-dance lessons
around 30 percent.

Ballet bash:
Connecticut ballet marks its 25th anniversary with
'Cinderella' |

Launched:10/23/2006 05:52:28 PM EDT
What better way to celebrate the 25th anniversary of
a ballet company than by presenting an all-new
version of one of the all-time favorites.
For the nonprofit Connecticut Ballet and its
founder and artistic director Brett Raphael, the
perfect celebratory ballet is "Cinderella," which
will debut this weekend with Raphael's original
choreography. The production — with refurbished
costumes and sets from the San Francisco Ballet —
will be offered Saturday at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 2
p.m. at the Palace Theatre, 61 Atlantic St. in
downtown Stamford. Tickets are $25 to $50; same-day,
half-price tickets will be available to senior
citizens and children. A "Cinderella Tiara Ball" —
featuring dinner and dancing to the music of South
Broadway Rhythm — will follow Saturday's
performance. Tickets, which are $250 per person,
also include a pre-performance wine-tasting event
and center orchestra seating.

Canaan / Darien Monthly Magazine
I was featured in the July 2006 edition of the New
Canaan / Darien Monthly Magazine. It had a full feature
article on dancing in the southern CT area. It's great to see
dance getting some very good press. Congratulations to all of
you (students and friends) who have helped the scene grow.
Special thanks to Suzanne Gerber for writing this article.

Cornerstone students study up on dancing |

BLOOMINGTON -- Instead of doing calculus
Wednesday, Megan Belgrave was on her feet counting “four,
five, six” as she learned new dance steps.
“I’m probably better at calculus than dancing,” the senior
at Cornerstone Christian Academy joked.
She and the 50 other high school students at the academy
learned new steps to prepare for their homecoming banquet
and dance on Saturday at Doubletree Hotel and Conference
Center.
This is the second year in which the school has provided
dance lessons for its students for homecoming, and the
program has been very popular, said Beth Sondgeroth,
academic dean at the school.
