NYC Dancers Prepare for Some Much Needed Cabaret Lawlessness
New Yorkers, used to being told they can't dance where they want to, will soon find themselves able to cavort a bit more freely. Alas, no, the cabaret law hasn't been repealed—incredibly, dancing is still illegal without a license. But at 1 p.m. on May 19, the city's first-ever Dance Parade will take over Broadway at 32nd Street and wind its way down to Washington Square Park. With more than 6,000 dancers signed up and top DJs such as Kool Herc, Danny Tenaglia, and John "Jellybean" Benitez participating, this hopefully annual event may soon rival Berlin's infamous Love Parade.

West Coast Swing & Hustle will represented in the Dance Parade!

Tips for Great Summer Pictures
Spring and Summer offer some fantastic opportunities to start taking pictures with your digital cameras (is there another type).  As you may know, I love taking pictures.  Try to capture the many special moments in your life...even if you don't share them, they create a visual diary of extra-ordinary scenes we are apart of every day.

Whether your camera is drawn to landscapes, seascapes, snow sports, fireworks, street life, gardens, or your family around a campfire, a few tips from the experts can go a long way in turning snapshots into art. The art of taking memorable photos has less to do with technology (like the choice of a film or digital camera) and more to do with seeing images with the eye of an artist. Read and apply some of the tips below – all standard wisdom of professional photographers – and you will bring home pictures of a New England holiday worthy of framing and display.

A Healthy Mix of Rest and Motion
Dance a few songs, take a break....dance a few songs, take a break...sounds like a good fitness program; and you actually might enjoy it.

But new findings suggest that for at least one workout a week it pays to be both tortoise and hare — alternating short bursts of high-intensity exercise with easy-does-it recovery.

Weight watchers, prediabetics and those who simply want to increase their fitness all stand to gain.

This alternating fast-slow technique, called interval training, is hardly new. For decades, serious athletes have used it to improve performance.

But new evidence suggests that a workout with steep peaks and valleys can dramatically improve cardiovascular fitness and raise the body’s potential to burn fat.  Best of all, the benefits become evident in a matter of weeks.
