A very Big Tip / Heads Up for Ithaca to participate in.
8937 Dancers, 158 Dance Organizations, 50 Dance Styles --- Join Us Now!
In May 2007 Dance Parade New York brought together over 4000 dancers and 13 floats down New York's Broadway and Fifth Avenue
in the first-ever parade and festival to celebrate all forms of dance--everything from African to Zydeco, Belly to Break dance
and Salsa to Swing. The first year success showed that Dance Parade can and should grow to be a positive force and energetic
expression of our diverse dance communities.
On Saturday May 17th 2008 we will once again join colorful floats, live bands and dj's to dance in the streets to Contra,
Disco, Clogging, Ballroom, Irish Step, Hip Hop, Swing, Ballet, Japanese, Sufi, Samba and more - over 50 forms demonstrating
that Dance is a vibrant, expressive form of art.
Our wonderful parade route starts at 32nd Street, heads down Broadway to Union Square, swings West to Fifth Avenue and
triumphantly dances itself through Washington Square's memorial Arch. Inside the park we have a unique Dance Festival with
many forms of performance and social dances on as many as four stages!
We are an all volunteer run Non-Profit Organization who seek to show that dance is an expressive and unifying form of art--Our
aim is to educate the public on the wonderful health and cultural benefits of dance. In doing so, we aim to support and strengthen
the role of dance in our culture.

Set your calendars accordingly.
The Ithaca Ballet, housed at the Ballet Center of Ithaca, is Upstate New York's
only repertory company and is the resident ballet company at The Historic State Theatre. The ballet is a professional ensemble
corps, having a varied repertoire of classical and contemporary works.
From its beginning in 1961, the Ithaca Ballet
grew to be an award-winning performance, artistic and choreographic landmark on the Northeast Regional Ballet scene. Nationally
known, the company tours the Finger Lakes Region and has been the recipient of New York State Arts Initiative Grants and has
performed at challenging and diverse venues including Smith Opera House in Geneva, NY, at the Emerging Choreographers Showcase
at the Glassboro, NJ, Festival the Downtown Syracuse Association's Candlelight Series at Armory Square, and the World Trade
Center. In December 2001, the Ithaca Ballet performed The Nutcracker to three record-breaking audiences as part of the grand
re-opening of Historic Ithaca's State Theatre.
Lawrence Brantley
1947 - 2006
The Ballet is immensely saddened by the loss of our much-loved general manager, Lawrence "Larry" Hathaway Brantley. Larry
passed away peacefully at Cayuga Medical Center on February 14, 2006, from pneumonia, a complication of esophageal cancer.
Larry was a true Renaissance man: a writer, artist, gourmet cook, dancer, choreographer of fascinating and very original
ballets. He knew all kinds of music, from medieval chants through classical to rock and reggae. He sang in his school choir,
and his first paid job was as a singer.
Having spent childhood summers on the farm in Connecticut of his mother's cousin, a landscape artist, Larry knew and grew
house plants. He was an expert tailor and made his own jackets. His leather work won prizes at the New York State craft fair,
at which he was later judge of leather works.
As a young adult, while studying dance at the Ithaca Ballet School, he waited tables and made many friends in the restaurant
business. Within four years, he became the lead male dancer in the Ithaca Ballet, won honors as male dancer and as choreographer
at the Northeast Regional Ballet festivals. He was grabbed into the professional dance world by the Uris/Bahr dancers and
joined the Garden State Ballet in New Jersey. Returning home to Ithaca, Larry became general manager of the Ithaca Ballet
and instructor in the school. He was a favorite instructor of many students at the school. As general manager, he brought
the Ithaca Ballet on tour to many venues in Upstate New York. His love of the Ithaca Ballet was shown in the several tasks
he did beyond his position as general manager. During his tenure as employee and volunteer, the Ithaca Ballet grew greatly
in quality and prestige. Several associates are stepping in to share Larry's tasks until replacements can be found.

Host Families are constantly being sought!

dance interest.

Youth For Understanding (YFU) is one of the world's oldest, largest, and most respected international exchange
organizations. Today, YFU USA administers the Youth For Understanding programs in the United States
Historical Notes:
History of Youth For Understanding
Today, YFU USA administers the Youth For Understanding programs in the United States.
A network of over 50 partner offices and organizations, YFU's global history began very humbly in the United States. In
1951 an American minister, John Eberly, proposed to church leaders that teenagers from war-torn Germany be brought to the
United States to live with a family and attend high school for a year in an effort to heal the wounds of World War II. This
proposal met with approval from State Department officials.
|
"I wondered how it ever would be possible to rebuild what had
been destroyed. Even more important, what had been damaged within people's lives and hearts. What could I ever do?"
r. Rachel Andresen, YFU Founder
written after a visit to Europe in 1947 continues ...[ see here ] |

Luna Negra on the
road...
|
 | This summer, Luna Negra dancers
spent 2 weeks in New Orleans teaching dance to students age 11-18 in a nationally acclaimed program sponsored by the New Orleans
Recreation Department (NORD) and the New Orleans Ballet Association (NOBA) Center for Dance. This was actually the second
company visit to New Orleans. We were there for 3 weeks last year and ended the program shortly before Katrina hit.
This
year, therefore, the residency was especially meaningful. Many of the students had been living in a state of constant flux
and uncertainty, moving from house to house or living in very precarious conditions. "The energy was different this year.
You could feel that the kids had been living under difficult circumstances," says dancer Vanessa Valecillos "but I am hopeful
that through the dance classes and the workshop we could give them an outlet to express their feelings of anger, sadness and
hopelessness."
Ricardo Garcia, who taught modern dance classes notes: "The younger students were exited about the
material given in class and in rehearsals. Some had real potential to go further with the art form. However, others,
mainly teenagers, were a bit rebellious and needed to learn discipline and how to achieve goals. It was a challenge and I
learned a lot from it. I think the fact that we went to New Orleans, gave lessons, performed and interacted with this
community was very important. NOBA is one of the few organizations in the United States dedicated to present only dance
and I feel our contribution was very important to its survival."

Public Service Announcement:
Homes needed for exchange students who are interest in dance too !
Dear Brenda: I am writing to you because YFU USA has several exchange students who are interested in dance and
we would like to let your network know about the opportunity to host an exchange student and dancer. Would you please forward
the following message to your e-mail list and / or post on your bulletin board? We are sure a number of your members would
be very interested in sharing their love of dance with a student from abroad. Youth For Understanding USA is
seeking families to host foreign exchange high school students interested in dance for the 2006-2007 academic year. Youth
For Understanding (YFU) is a worldwide movement of committed individuals and organizations working together to prepare young
people for their responsibilities and challenges in a changing, interdependent world. Each year YFU places a large number
of international exchange students with local families while they attend the local high school. YFU will welcome new
high school international exchange students this August. Our students come from different countries around the world. They
speak English, have their own spending money, health insurance, will attend an American high school and will provide innumerable
good memories and experiences to your family. Open your doors to a new family member and help him/her adapt to the
U.S. lifestyle and culture. Hosting will be a wonderful opportunity to learn about other traditions and languages without
leaving home. Our host families are as diverse as our students. They are couples with or without children, empty nesters,
single adults and also come from all cultural and economic backgrounds. You can host a student for ten months as a
permanent host family, or for six to twelve weeks as an arrival host family. Our trained YFU staff and volunteers are available
to support you every step of the way. If you are interested in hosting a YFU student or would like more information, please
contact YFU today at 1-866-493-8872, visit www.yfu-usa. org to apply on-line or e-mail admissions@yfu.org.
Achara, a 15 year old female from Thailand "Family is very important to me!" says Chin, a socialable, active young woman. "I am very excited about becoming a part of
my American family!" She and her friends enjoy singing, going to the movies and spending time with family and friends. They
also participate in Thai dancing as a group. Chin spends some of her free time working in her parent's clothing shops. During
her summer vacation Chin attended a language camp in Singapore studying English. She is very much looking forward to joining
your family in early August.
Viet, a 16 year old male from Germany This natural leader was selected as class president! That's really remarkable for a guy who was born in Vietnam and moved
to Berlin at around the age of 3! His bi-cultural heritage has made him tolerant and adaptable, but he's also a guy with many
creative interests! Viet likes to make his own movies. He writes the script, films it and burns them on to DVDs via his computer.
He is also a dancer who enjoys practicing hip hop, street dance, jazz and other forms. He hopes to continue dancing while
in the States. Viet says that what sets him apart from the crowd is his Vietnamese heritage. He speaks a little Vietnamese
and has traveled there with his mother to see his relatives. Maybe he will share with you the cooking he has learned from
his mother, a sushi cook! His friends describe him as a happy guy with a good sense of humor!
Carole, a 17 year old female from Switzerland With a positive and easy-going attitude toward life in general, Carole is a teen from a village of 1000 people who hopes to
"perfect" her English while she is in the USA. (Other languages, such as French, Spanish, and Italian, interest her too.)
On weekends, sometimes she wants to go out and do things with friends and sometimes she prefers to just stay home and watch
TV with her family or even cook for them sometimes. The family--including her twin sister and older brother--maintains a close
relationship based on respect. She is confident she can experience that with you too! She has been dancing since the age of
five, and she currently practices and performs often with two different dance troupes. To keep active, Carole also plays volleyball
and goes snowboarding on the weekends. She is willing to attend church with her host family. (Fear of dogs)

DON’T MISS: The 3th intl. Salsa Congress Munich (Germany) 3 – 5 November 2006 www.salsacongress-munich.de You
can order the following offers now: DVD of the 4th Intl. Salsafestival Hamburg 2006, 30 Euros Specialprice valid for
orders and pays before Sept, 10th -------------------------------------------------- Dear Sir/Madam, The
4th. International Salsafestival Hamburg was a huge success! More than 2500 participants from about 46 different countries
came to share workshops, shows and great parties! We thank you very much, because you were the reason for this success
and without you we couldn´t have done it! We also really appreciate the support of those who believed in us and we like to
thank our partners, which you will find on our homepage! Because of renovation of the big hall, we had to change this
year to alternative rooms. Next year you will find again the modernized big hall to which you are used to! Many dancers
enjoyed a lot of fantastic workshops. Unfortunately some of the teachers couldn´t come. Although we didn´t have any influence
on the causes, we want to say sorry for that. Between Frankie Martinez and his management (coly david from New York) were
problems in coordinating his schedule. But we are proud and happy, that we found Franklin Diaz as substitute and like to thank
him for his flexibility! In the name of Alex da Silva we apologize: He was already at LAX Airport, when he had to cancel
his flight, because his passport wasn’t valid anymore. For further information he offers to contact him: adasilva@hotmail.comWe were also surprised, when Francisco Vasquez called us, to tell us that he couldn´t fly, because as he is often in Europe
he has no permission to fly to Europe again until autumn. As a kind of compensation you will find the workshops, that
he designed especially for the Salsafestival in Hamburg a video download on his website: reybarcena.com/media/Untitled2.wmv Alex
and Francisco promised to be there again next year! As compensation we offer the participants of the Salsafestival
Hamburg 10% reduction on the ticket of the Munich Congress from the 3, to 5. of November 2006. The 5th . International
Salsafestival Hamburg will be from the 20th to the 22th of July 2007 in Hamburg! All workshops and Parties will be in 1
location (CCH Congress Centrum Hamburg), on more than 3000 m², in fully air conditioned modernized big hall! We want to
organize the festival as good as possible and therefore we need your support! Please tell us honestely what we can improve.
We appreciate every wish and suggestion and we really try to realise them! We hope to meet you at again at the
festival 2007 in Hamburg! Best wishes! Imad Production

SALSA VIVALDI...The Bronx & Beverly Hills unite!
And who says opposites don’t attract? Mix hard core SALSA Dura (energetic 1970’s Nuyorican salsa)
with… of all things… CLASSICAL Music, on ONE stage, performing in a DUEL… The result is an EXPLOSIVE and
CLIMAXIC experience to the ear.
The genius of Jimmy Bosch along with his band is continuing with their spectacular
series of performances, together with symphony orchestras. Salsa fans are tranquilized, while most classical music fans are
left with reactions of ultimate heaven. The few ultra conservative classical music fans left in shock and disgust wouldn’t
even dare mix a Puerto Rican or Dominican mofongo with their imported caviar! WEPA!
Oh, who wins the duel? YOU decide!...

A tribute to YOMO TORO, loved by millions!!
 If you claim to know the history of salsa, then Yomo Toro needs no introduction. Maestro Yomo should as easily qualify as
a legend of his cuatro as Cachao does his contrabass. Yomo Toro is still kicking hard at selected venues. He was in
action as recently as the Fania Allstars Renuion concert in Atlanta, and at our very own Cuatro Festival in Long beach, CA.
He's also still issuing new CD's, with his latest CD, .................. Yomo, however, is so much more than simply
a superstar musician still performing. For those of us fortunate to call Yomo a friend or a "hermano", personally knowing
Yomo means knowing one of the nicest, most down to eart human being one can possibly know. Loved by millions, myself included
(ever since I first saw him perform with Hector Lavoe in the 1970's), THANK YOU YOMO!

A tribute to DON JIBARO, of the WORLD WIDE NET!
 There is hardly a Puerto Rican on Earth who hasn't heard about Don Jibaro. There is also a Boricua Latino CULTURAL website
that carries more punch among salsa fans around the world than any other, and that's Don Jibaro's website: jibaros.com. If
a person could be nominated as the World Ambassor of all Good, it would be Don Jibaro! True lifelong friends are hard to find.
Most of us only have one or two... Getting together with my closest friend and confidant is like waking up to a beautiful
sunny morning every day!

Dance Community Get - Togethers:
*****************************************************
With Dance Meetup additional requirements, membership and facilitator dues, several dance meetups have disappeared.
Thus along with Rebecca Katzenstein, former dance meetup, Tri Falcon and Dove Productions' Dance Community Get - Togethers System in now being implaced in the markets of California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, New York, Ontario, Pennsylvania,
Quebec, and Texas.
These are the markets in which Tri Falcon and Dove Productions has established INTERNET visability and contacts-through small alumni, and groups which Tri Falcon and Dove Dance
Academy has established link exchanges with.
The prime factor is to keep and return social dance in the hands of the workers-who have always been
the traditional backbone of social dance. It was the working middle classes of the early 20th Century who made social
dance popular in American culture; this is what I learned at Arthur Murray Dance Studios-Washington DC, 1970. Want to
get started then join Dance Community Get Togethers @ [ GroupSite ] See what is happening - some where around January 20th, 2006 @ [ ProBoards31 ] ..
Dance in Ithaca:
An on - going feature article.
Dancer ! Dancers ! Dancers ! are wanted now !
Recently there has been a call for more and more dance troupes of paticular style of dance innovation
and expertises. Many areas are desparately looking for good quality groups, and the cruise lines industry, and Asian
event producers are paying top dollar to boot too !
Emails flood in to me every day asking for performers, and they are not looking for groups who are club
dancers, the Ithaca genre, but are looking for those dance troupes who have a body descipline characteristics of ballet
integrated into various Latin and Ballroom Theatre Arts, as well as Lyrical Modern Dance.
Editor's Side Note: Do not be fooled by the hustle, or those who are looking for a quick
buck. Small towns are full of this activity! Salsa Wild of the Falcon and Dove Dance Troupe is auditioning for dancers of all ranges, but most importantly with classical ballet-two years, African,
Modern Jazz combinations. This is " now " the standard for professionals and dance competitors. Stage presences
is most important. Goto http://salsawild.tripod.com and fill out the online forms there.
The dance scene is already being impacted by the recent upsurge of dance related Telecast shows on various
Television networks. Nonetheless, it has cause a change in Ithaca's dance focus, and this has had a negative impact
upon Ithaca's Swing sociocultural fixation. The rise of Latina Danza is one of the results. Nonetheless,
dance may be" in " right now, and later reports on what happen in the next ten days, will be reported on later...Editor (September,
2005 ).
Follow through - minimal impact ( only an investment shift in whose pocket the dollars are going ) here
within Ithaca, as Syracuse has gained as a direct result, but great in Los Angeles, New York City, and Boston ~ December 7,
2005.
" Guess who is the big'est in Ithaca / Tompkins ? De Santis - Franchise
owner of Arthur Murray Dance Studios Incorporated, Syracuse, New York ! "
In a follow ups-Novemeber 18, and December 7, 2005. The private sector marketing of dance shift has
been what has happened in the National and International world of dance. Dance competitions enrollments are up, and
stage productions are likewise increasing. Yet, at the sametime a lot of dance troupes are failing in being retained.
During the begining of December it got worst!
In an email correspondences - November 2 - Decmeber 7th, 2005 - with New York City, London, Hong Kong,
Berlin. Boston, Paris, Tokyo, Washington DC, Miami Beach, Rome-Italy, and Moscow, many groups they have tried in their
clubs, cabarets, and stage venues American dance troupes have came high in the sales pitch, along with decpetive
videos, but failed in stage delivery. Many event providers are becoming extremely anxious, and American
troupes are being increasingly viewed with skepticisms among most Euorpean, and more recent Asian, especially in Hong
Kong, event providers, even among American event providers themselves in Boston, Chicago, Austin, and Washington DC.
The telecasts of various dance shows really did not deliever the expected windfall. Though a marginal increases
were felt by everyone nation-wide. What is most tragic:
The recent loss of various foundation for the arts funds is at the root of the establish
dance companies inability to make significant gains during this important era. They had all the wanted - marketing
stage presence and retension factor most Internationally frustrated event providers are looking for.
" Increasingly everything depends on ticket sales, and not in subsidies from
traditional art foundations."
This was stated by event producers, dependent Non-for-Profit Dance Academies,
and their Theatre Associates, and private club owners alike. Cities are likewise nervous in investing in the dance
arts too! This came by a statement from both London, Austin, Los Angeles, Miami Beach, and Chicago.
Else where and in reverse, Asia has loads of money..but no takers. Event producers there are being
also fustrated in finding dance troupes with staying power. " One email comment " Are Americans
becoming cheap and cheats too." Hong Kong December 2, 2005 . This in the wake of roll backs in Dallas, Washington
DC, and Miami are still ( December 8, 2005 ) making Asia look better all the time.
Nonetheless, Asia is still looking good if you got the " ...dance
bang .." Shanghai - November 28, 2005. Leading this comes from the fact " That you
do not need to know the language." This statement coming from dance enthusiast Wy Ping from Beijing - Peoples Republic
of China on a visit to Los Angeles who email me about my Los Angeles Night Life ( NightLife ), RMC WebSite.
Stay tunned! Up dated December 8th, 2005 - Note: This is ongoing..as I see no end in
emails I am getting. Roger...
Dance Market Intellengence responce Dance Ithaca E ~ Magazine support WebSites created.
Emails flood in daily, and from them significant trends were denoted and subsequently acted on.
Dance In Ithaca.
Dance enterainment, over dance class / classes is the future for all dance in Ithaca, New York.
Moreover, this is good news for the Ithaca Ballet, in as much as most dancers inorder to achieve
the dramatic dance body lines needs classical ballet backgrounds. Also, a focus must be developed within the Ithaca
market on what is a qualified choreographer. Both the fundemental features of classical ballet and experienced and trained
choreographer are essential elements to make a dance performance with the all powerful market reality of stage presences really
work here in Ithaca.
Dance if produced and staged professional can gain the critical attention Ithaca needs to
attract visitors with cash in their pockets for Hotel accomodations, restaurant tabs, and gift article purchases @ "
Historic DownTown, Ithaca."
Also, and upon the new horizon is the growing cultural democracy movement. This is more of a private
sector movement than political. Remember. Dance is the first performance culture. This has significance for dancers
- as the interplay of dance and what dance can represent can trigger upon any stage emotional results and projected
egocentric responces among the populace. Thus, and with my INTERNET world wide groups assisting - who I have
been moderating since 2003, another WebSite The Central WebSite " For " Cultural Democracy was created. To understand this go to Cultural Democracy, An Evolving Essay by Roger M. Christian. This has triggered my own network of Internatiional Supporters at the sametime.
Check out one of my European webpages which promotes Ithaca as the Cultural Magnet Destination City
's for Paris Night Life ( NightLife ), RMC . The INTERNET has come to the doors of Ithaca, New York. Last estimate of my total monthly hits
is 680,000/month ( 3rd largest in Tompkins county )/ supporters 167 Internationally-and they are both growing!

Dance alliance being formed to renovate the second floor of the historic Cascadilla Boathouse, adjacent
to Stewart Park on Lake Cayuga.
During the early part of the 20th Century, one of the most popular local destination sites for young people
falling in love, was the Cascadilla Boat House. Here several proposals were made with young kneeling Ithaca males in
their high button stiff shirts, and anxious young ladies with ankle lenght flowing dresses teasing with their yes-es.
As a sport outlet, the boathouse was used frequently by future rowing champions who were attending Cornell
University. Moreover, it was a location site for early locally produced films.
Now interest has started to focus back on this historic site, and many within the area, with tears holding
back picturing their earlier romances there, awaits it's rebirth. The Dance Alliance was announced to me by Cornell
Dance Instructor Marguerite Frongillo-while she was in a waiting line at the local filming of Farenhight 9/11.
A letter to the Editor proboard was developed for this and other items about Dance Ithaca. Click on
here for your written support for the venture >>>>>>Here:
November 20, 2004 - Update:
A letter ( about dancing in the Boathouse, and renovation ) is now being drafted
to be sent to the Mayor of The City of Ithaca. Details to follow...
New England Ballet's social event, The End of Summer Open House, August 27th
Good News Dance in Ithaca
Dance Classes for the Winter Spring to be
expanded to include Flamenco, Pasa Doble, and Modern Dance, as Well as expanding the staffing.
Flamenco: Styles directly from Valencia, Cordoba,
Granada, and Madrid Spain and are being taught as back drop - supplement the Paso Doble dance program.
Paso Doble is the Ballroon Flamenco dance in which elements of both are
integrated into a Spanish melodrama depicting various village folk dance movements in 19th Century Spain. This dance
was first developed on the West Bank in Paris, France, and one of the first to exhibit this form was the fame and
at times over dramatic ( in todays standard of acting ) actress Sarah Bernheart
Modern Dance Curriculia is developed to emphasize sharp differnces in
gender role functions, and will stress more athletic forms for males, and more lighter, yet , extremely strong moves for females.
The music and choreography is to denote courage, the challnege to conqure gravity-litteraly trying to fly on the stage.
In both, gender strengths will be the single issue, and the items being selected will look into the followoing themes.
Our U.S.Troupes, their sense of courage and duty, who are now fighting, and will be fighting for the years to come, The
Holocaust, The Horror of Rape. The importance of being The Life Giver, America's Democracy and It's Creativity,
and most of all the ongoing struggle that all dancers have " To Conqure Gravity."
This is only the begining in as much as there is to be a new step in creativity
in dance. Configured Dance Movement - The ultimate in Dance Partnerships. This is to
stress those exciting ballet movements, which were traditionally done apart, mostly in solos, now modified
to be done in partnership with one - two - and three partners - full body contact.
This was first talk about during the 70s - the time of great
creative explosions within dance in the United States and Europe. Now with the dance horizons starting to open up again
through out the nation. The national dance scene now is more demanding, and thus to maintain interest a new movement
has to be forged. Dance in Ithaca, and the central reason why this location is important, is the relative economy is
very low for creative development and as to allow this take place here. The forging of new radical dance
forms in Ithaca, in the end will trigger cultural inertia.
Dance Teacher Training now underway.
Mr. Christian is now 57 years old, and feels it is time to pass on what he has accumilated over the 49 years
of dancing experiences in Latin, and Social dancing, and 36 years of dance teaching.
With his earliest recollections in Latina Danza ( 1950s ) to Mambo Danza Cultura, and the fantastic experience
in his early years over social dance events at Miami Springs Junior High, Florida, when Southern Style Lindy was dance side
by side with Latin dance, The leading factor, a massive expansion of Latin students into Dade County with the
rise to power, and the subsequent massive Cuban refugee influx, as a result, of Fidel Castro. Thus Latin dance started
to dominate through-out Dade County Florida. At Miami Spring Jounior High everyone was full of excitment as both
styles were appreciated to it's fullests. Mr. Christian experienced and learned the centrality and
diversity dance has to offer. Thus, Mr. Christian's teacher training is developed to have depth, and that one
SPECIAL historical added element in dance techniques, movement, and continuity
of the diversity of styles- in passing ( in the first person-witness ) on an era ( the magical 50s-60s ) to the next
generation of dance teachers.
This also includes the very essence of professionalisms. As. After The Vietnam War. Then.
Mr. Christian was furthered trained by Arthur Murray Dance Studios Incorporated it's treasured Teaching Techniques ( at one time considered trade secrets ).
After that Fred Astaire Dance Studio's dance performance emphasis, after social dance training,
his knowledge, and dance accomblishments further bloomed. Reaching it's high point with Dance Performances in
Central America.
Other areas included two years classical ballet, African and Modern Dance, Israeli Folk Dance,
and most of all the experience he obtained in teaching children with Down's Syndrome. There
are alot of trade dance teaching secrets to pass on
His Dance in Ithaca programs, The Ithaca Social Dance Economy Program, though
suffered over issues concerning the Wessex Bristol location, and other resistance. Nonetheless. the canidate
list of teacher prospects was then concentrated upon, as the main direction of his very small dance school
( subsidized by his Vietnam Veteran's Administration Disability Compensations - 70% ) during
this Fall of 2004, as a result. This will eventually lead to adjudication to come in the summer of 2005. Moreover,
Mr. Christian is still accepting canidates.
The qualifications are excellent character references, has a present job, dance experience not required,
but helpful, and a person who understands the fine line between humility in silence, rather than being vocal.
Your youth will not be held against you either, as every generation is always the better generation. The training is
work study related, very much like how he was ushered into cadre of Professional Teachers with National Rankings during the
70s. Basically - training is somewhat free.
This is rare experince..so if you ever wanted to something new, and willing to move beyond prevailing
small town self - perceptions, the resulting clickish personas, and have a client centered value system possibility, then
you should also find out if you qualify.
Why?
Mr. Christian was one of only three canidates to have survived the 27 initial canidates' list during
his Training Class - Arthur Murray Dance Studios Incorporated, Washington DC, 1969 - 1970 ( 3 month intensive - with
aditional supervision for 6 months ), supervised by Glenda Nelson ( She is in Dallas Texas now ). The two
issues for surviving the weeding out process was the willingness to learn and achieve, and have
the A type personality " humility "- character - necessary to be client centered ( and not the
self -centerness which hampers most non-professionals in both dance excellence devlopment and the ability to teach ).
The ends of which is totally empowering the client to become a leader, event provider-producer, and
participant in all social dance forms.
The underlinning motive - professional standards:
" The critical differnce between a Dance Teacher and
and a Dancer is humility. " The dance teacher's experience and social success in dance has to be so personally significant
enough as to invest our lives in other peoples It was for the reason alone why Mr. Christian invested $ 27,00.00
out of his VA disability compensation during past six years. He has not earned not one dollar during this time-as
bank and other records can prove. Moreover, and because of the additional impact of his disability-which
he was warned would increased as his age progressed- there are other further physical harsh conditions in
which he has now have to contend with at the sametime. Do you have the heart for public service and love to dance?

develop a local core of supporters, and students for the 2004 to 2005 year.
Dance jobs, as well as modeling calls are now being posted at Ithaca Dance Jobs . This is a continued effort to promote dance in Ithaca. This is gain more attention from the outside
world whose common interest is to locate top dancers, and potential Model Resources. And, at the sametime, promote Ithaca,
and Ithaca's dance scene as the central reason why Ithaca should be a Cultural Magnet Destination City. With all the
differnent types, and great diversity in several cultural outlooks here in this tiny college community Dance in Ithaca is
just one a whole string of events, and things to do in this town, and among us too. The Dances, Dancers, and raising
the community flagg should be made apparent everywhere. Once again, happy dancing in Ithaca.
Social Dance Leadership programs and seminars openings for Summer 2004.
First stages are in the works. Step one is the Latin-Salsa practice dances for the students of Tri
Falcon and Dove Dance Academy, and guest ( you must be with a present or past student of this school ). Then, as how
Arthur Murray Dance Stduios Inc. did it, once a leadership has emerged then another location will be located on the same time
and date.
Coming soon is weekly TFDDA Latin-Salsa Practice Dances on Tuesdays 9:30 to 11:30 PM, at the Wessex Bristol
Gallery of the Arts, 119 East State Street, Ithaca, New York 14850. A leadership class will be also posted through mailings.
The mission of TFDDA is to empower others, client centered, with the enjoyment of dance. Moreover, it was the
central learning character of those of us who went through Training Classes of Arthur Murray Dance Studios, and who at the
sametime were also lucky to have been trained by the teachers of the " La ' Grand Guarde de Danse " of this systems too, who
created professional dance instructors who are totally client focused. This made not only social dance popular within
America, but also, and with out the hindrences of ego centricities limitations, made the " La ' Grand Guarde de
Danse " of Arthur Murray the world's best dance masters. In humility, and most of all in retrospect, this is the
mission behind empowering the public with social dances, and this is most critical within Ithaca.
The Golden Era of Ithaca Social Dance Dancing:
During the 1930's to early 1960s at least 6 dance socials were given in the city of Ithaca weekly.
Moreover, in out lying areas like Groton, Dryden, Trumansburg and Spenser, at least one social dance per week. Furthermore
on campus, at both Cornell University, and Ithaca College several more, or at least one per day. The only social
dance from this golden era of Ithaca Social Dance to have survived to this day , is the members social dance at VFW Post
961.
The Program to bring back The Golden Era Of Ithaca Social Dance:
" The critical differnce between a dance teacher and a dancer is humility. " Mr. Roger M. Christian
1993 - 2004 Ithaca, New York. " The teacher must be willing to prmote not only the client's interests in dance, but
also the ego - centric aspect of the intent of the client taking dance lessons too. "
Developing Leadership:
The program is based upon four couple groupings in which program managing, site managing, publicity managing,
and accountant manging responsibilities are deligated to each separate couple. The centrality of social dance ethics,
the separation rule of professional and amatuers within the social dance scene are also discussed. Yet it is in the
acquirement of empowering by the public within the market of dance which gives the community a means in which to socially
interact and form those bonds by which a community finds it's real strenghts.

We are an E - Publishing and are looking for dance news.
March 16, a new phase has entered, and more dance news about Ithaca is now in the making.
Up Front:
Two new players have appeared on the social dance scene, and after a couple weeks to see if these social
dances are really social dances, and not a sales promotional stunt, then they will be actively promoted as recommended social
dances. This Saturday at Common Ground is a Latin Dance, and at the Chanti Loft, above The Chanticleer Lounge, Club
social dance.
December 1, 2003, Dance Ithaca E - Magazine became a part of the internet. Moreover
with 35 year of dance experiences, Ithaca Dance Master Roger M. Christian has a lot of information, true stories, and
dance quips to publish.
