Dance producers rearrange Nina Simone
Mon Oct 30, 2006 4:19 AM ET
By Kerri Mason

NEW YORK (Billboard) - "You may dig on the Rolling Stones," Mos Def posits on 1999's "Black on Both Sides," "but they could never ever rock like Nina Simone."

With current pop offering little inspirational meat, modern artists are finding grit and passion in the storied figure -- and voice -- of Simone, the jazz singer/songwriter who died three years ago.

Lauryn Hill shouted her out in "Ready or Not." Mary J. Blige and Kanye West borrowed some samples. Even NPR gave her culturally aware props, proclaiming, "In the 1960s, no black woman was more gangsta."

Now it's dance's turn to incorporate the singer's sound and style with "Nina Simone: Remixed and Reimagined" (Legacy/RCA), due in stores Tuesday. "The timing is perfect," executive producer Scott Schlachter says. "Nina's music is experiencing a major resurgence right now."

Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage Swing Dancing!
It doesn't get much more manly than Hulk Hogan and Macho Man swing dance competitions, Vince McMahon is really missing out. Watch as Hogan painfully swings his way in and out of the ring with his completely heterosexual partner Randy Savage. I don't agree with the winner though, I think equal amounts of WTF were had from both sides.  (Click Here)

New 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.
