Celebrate New Year's Together: I would like to put a table (10 people) together for the New Year's Extravaganza (see below).  Please click on the link or email me to join me for an amazing time with some of the best dancers in WCS, Hustle, Lindy and 2-Step.  This is a perfect event for beginner and intermediate dancers.  Even though the main hotel is SOLD OUT, the overflow hotel still has availabilities and shares the same parking lot.  My table still has seats...and I'm planning on performing in the dinner show.

Swing-themed school dance averts 'grinding'
By JOHN WHITSON
Union Leader Staff

WHEN TRINITY High's students turn out Saturday for their winter formal, young ladies and their escorts will, as usual, turn heads as they dress to impress.

When the music starts, the gym floor will, as usual, fill up as selections range from hip hop to '70s rock, from rap to R&B.

And at some point things will, unusually, swing.

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 (picture also features former partner Tami Harris).

Gift Idea
A Therapeutic Massage

Angelo Giordano can often be found at Monday's West Coast Swing night at the Black Bear Saloon with his wife. 

Angelo is a therapeutic masseur of the highest quality.  I could boast and brag about him or you could just try it out for yourself....unless you want to keep crying about your tense neck, stiff shoulders and tight hamstrings.

As a professional dancer, Angelo is essential to my body maintenance.  It enables me to keep tabs on the parts of my body that are essential to me.  I see him every 2 weeks. 

Perhaps it's time to give the gift of a Therapeutic Massage to someone you care about....or maybe it's time to add one to your own gift list.
