DANCING IN THE KITCHEN

In the 60’s and even the first part of the 70’s many dance studios continued to teach dancing hoping that the big ballrooms would come back.  They waited for resurgence of the big bands and those old-fashioned dances even though they had largely died in the 40’s and certainly in the 50’s.  They hoped they […]

Dancing in a Pandemic

First of all, I expect most of us are home or working as best we can from home.  That being said, over the years, we have known numerous nurses and doctors who found dancing a great way to relieve the daily stress of their jobs, even long before the talk of pandemics.  To all of […]

More Dance Shows on Television

Dancing With The Stars features “stars” of TV, movies, sports or music mostly.  They are then matched with one pro partner to develop a relationship that sometimes even transcends the show and often the dancing.  Winners of these series included not only some great dance pairs, but also couples who developed a relationship or even […]

CATCHING THE SHOW

Like many dancers or, in actuality, any aficionado that enjoys a sport, art or leisure activity we look forward to the chance to see our chosen art displayed, performed and enjoyed.  As many dancers continue to enjoy the shows DWTS and SYTYCD, it is not surprising to see these shows spin off some acts and […]

Do clothes make the dance

I will first admit I am getting older.  It is true that many people will immediately toss out any elder’s opinion regarding fashion, style and dress as old fashioned.  However, in keeping with Oscar de la Renta’s long ability to show that true style had to be neither gauche nor gaudy and looked good on […]

Why so international?

I have been and continue to be a big supporter of Dancing With the Stars and the other dance shows that offer any style of dance to the public at large.  I am also a big believer in the unique position America has had in increasing the world’s awareness of various dance styles and rhythms.  […]

IT IS TIME TO GIVE THE AUDIENCE SOME TECHNOLOGY

It should be no surprise after seeing the really popular dance TV shows and the often detailed background stories that display all the emotions, garner sympathy, or invite the audience to suffer the long hard road the competitors slogged to get to the stage that precede each competitor’s performance.  Today’s competition spectator might expect some […]

Is your studio using media or losing to media

For an industry that made its big names and subsequent popularity on new trends in music, dance and the middle class social lifestyle of the twentieth century, I am amazed on how few of these same businesses fail to incorporate new trends in television, dancing and most importantly media in their business models today.  These […]

The Stars Are Different

I know that when this is most likely published, this season’s Dancing With the Stars may well be over, but I write this after the 200th Episode. I find it interesting to compare the stars that have survived thus far this season and will do that soon.  However before I do I must state that […]

My friend, Jack

My friend, Jack I learned just recently of the passing of a dear friend, Jack Duddy.  I feel bad or at least sad that I had not learned of his death earlier.  He went to big floor February 25, 2010 at the young age of 80.  It is in many ways indicative of much of […]
