Woman dropped on head alleges 'negligent dancing'
CHICAGO, Illinois (AP) -- A woman is suing her dance partner, claiming he dropped her on her head after flipping her into the air at an office party.

Lacey Hindman, 22, was a victim of "negligent dancing," says her lawyer, David M. Baum.

In the suit, Hindman claims that during a party at a Chicago bar and restaurant in April 2006, David Prange grabbed her by the forearms and tossed her in the air, and then she crashed to the wood floor.

Dancers say ballroom workout rivals one in the gym any day
Ah, the power of dance. It's featured weekly on the ABC show "Dancing With the Stars," which recently began its third round of competition featuring professional dancers and entertainers.

At the weekly Sunday night dance at the Elks Lodge in North Raleigh, N.C., more than 200 people typically show up for swing dancing and the occasional ballroom or salsa interlude. Some are serious dancers, like the trim woman in floral top and black skirt whose face projects a determination to execute each move perfectly. Some just love to let themselves go to the music and may dance with a dozen or more partners over the course of the evening. And some may also have amore in the back of their minds.

"We've had 30 couples who've met with us and gotten married," says Wes Boz, who, with his wife, Debbie, co-owns Mad About Dance Academy, sponsor of this weekly event.

Whatever their motivation, they're all getting one thing: a good workout.

"The whole body is involved," says Lydia Rijos, an avid local salsa enthusiast.

"You burn a lot of calories," agrees Eileen Gonzalez.

Advice to Help You Win Over Your New Sweetheart
Guys. You might be a regular Casanova. But I’m sure Casanova would’ve taken dating tips if he’d been able to listen to the John Tesh Radio Show. So here’s some advice to help you win over your new sweetheart.  Courtesy of Men’s Health Magazine.
  • What’s the best way to ask her out? Forget writing a cutesy note and leaving it on her car. Or making her a mix CD of love songs.  Only 7 percent of women say that’s how they want to be asked out. So what should you do? Call her and say something direct – like “I think you’re great. Would you like to have dinner on Friday?” Women like to know their being asked on a date because it makes them feel special. So skip the vague hints and just ask. And be confident – but not too confident. Women instantly weed out guys who pile on the too-suave one-liners because it makes you seem rehearsed. In other words, they assume you’ve asked out so many women, that you have your “will you go out with me” speech down pat.
