Special Dance Fundraiser for Breast Cancer

I am proud to be assiting my dear friend Tricia Brouk on a very special event to raise money and awareness for breast cancer survivors. A re-working of Tricia’s solo piece “Crossing” will be featured on the program but this time it will be danced by 4 new dancers and incorporating Latin and ballroon dance. The event, “A Tribute”, is the brain child of So You Think You Can Dance chorographers Tony Meredith and Melanie LaPatin and will take place Saturday, October 25^th at the Danny Kaye Playhouse in NYC. The evening promises a magnificent showcase of the best professional and amateur Latin and Ballroom dancers in New York City. Joining the cast include special guests Sabra Johnson and Neil Haskell from So You Think You Can Dance Season 3. Also performing on stage will be Latin Dance Champions Eugene Katsevman & Maria Manusova, as well as the award-winning opera star Aprile Millo, of the Metropolitan Opera.

Thank You, Christine!

I received a lovely message from a woman named Christine who has been doing my Shape workouts on Exercise TV. And I have to tell you, it made my day. I have been so busy lately and was getting all caught up in the business side of my work. I was also beginning to feel that I wasn’t really “reaching” people anymore. And then this note arrived.

I have been doing your interval cardio, bikini body upper  and abs cardio circuit on exercise tv – they are awesome – I am 42 years old and am in better shape than I was when I was 22.  Although the workouts are challenging, you always have an encouraging word to get me through.  I have learned how to push myself and quite often find myself using your phrase “you can do 1 more of anything” not only in my workouts, but in all aspects of my life.

It reminded me of why I became a teacher in the first place. We never really know how many people we can touch with what we do. So it is up to us, the teachers, to continue to motivate, inspire and provide efficient and effective workouts for everyone out there. 

Christine, thank you for helping me out this day. Keep up the good work and I promise to do the same.
