THE DANCER WITHIN by Rose Eichenbaum  
 
“The impulse to move comes from the spirit.” — Ben Vereen  
 
Where does the urge to dance come from? How does one cope 
with the highs and lows of the artist’s life? What are the 
choreographer and dancer’s responsibilities to each other, 
to the audience, to the self?  
 
These are just a few of the questions that 
dancer-turned-photographer Rose Eichenbaum posed, with 
camera in hand, to America’s most celebrated dancers and 
choreographers.  
 
The Dancer Within pairs Eichenbaum’s striking color action 
photos and black-and-white portraits with excerpts from her 
conversations with ballet icons, Broadway stars, modern 
dance luminaries, Hollywood legends, and prominent 
choreographers. Eichenbaum captures the character and 
vitality of Debbie Allen, Jacques D’Amboise, José Greco, 
Judith Jamison, Bill T. Jones, Mark Morris, Anna Sokolow, 
Ethan Stiefel, Russ Tamblyn, Tommy Tune, and some 30 other 
dance professionals while eliciting candid reflections on 
their lives and careers. Eichenbaum is author of Masters of 
Movement: Portraits of America’s Great Choreographers 
(Smithsonian Books, 2004).

From the M.A.D.D. Rhythms, Inc. Newsletter  
 
Everything you need to know about  
us and what we are up to  
 
Well, they say the third time is a charm. I hope they're 
right! I tried  
to get a newsletter out last month, but I didn't quite make 
it. In the  
picture on the left is Yoshie and me. Yoshie is a dedicated 
tap student  
with discipline that we could all learn from. This picture 
was taken at  
last summers' smash hit "Imagine Tap". In my opinion this 
show marked  
the official rebirth of TAP. It is my sincere hope, that 
this show gets  
a chance to be seen by the world. Secondly, I'd like to let 
everyone  
know that M.A.D.D. Rhythms will be holding a 2 week Tap 
Boot Camp from  
July 9-20. This Tap Boot Camp will be 4 hours a day, 5 days 
a week and  
will be total submersion into the world of "The Dance". 
More details  
will follow soon, but if you want to get a jump on 
registration, let me  
know and I can put you or your child's name on the list.  
 
And as always, the weekly newsletter may not always be 
weekly but it  
will contain everything I want to share about M.A.D.D. 
Rhythms, The Tap  
Academy, Tappin' @ The Shore: The Basement Jam, The 
Wreckshop Training  
Crew and The Chicago Tap Summit! I hope you enjoy.  
 
P.S. I have officially started M.A.D.D. Rhythms G.I. For 
those who  
don't know G.I. stands for Gary, Indiana. Look for more on 
the newest  
addition to the M.A.D.D. Rhythms family in the next issue!

Tap Into A Cure  
Bril Barrett invited to teach and perform at Canada's 
newest tap  
festival. Tap Into A Cure is also a tap festival with a 
Purpose! August  
15 - 19, 2007  
 
Hello Tap dancers, it is hard to believe that 8  
months ago we held our first Tap Into A Cure Workshop, and 
it was a  
roaring success. We donated $8000 to the Stollery 
Children's Hospital.  
This year we are going to help the inner city children with 
our  
donation to the Edmonton School's Lunch Program where they 
feed  
children everyday with a nutritional meal that they would 
otherwise go  
without, even during the summer months. We have added an 
extra day of  
classes, from your requests, and added a participants 
showcase. There  
will be a tap jam, panel discussion and with our special 
guest  
 
Harold "Stumpy" Cromer, you never know what could happen. 
Spending  
time with Harold and hearing his many wonderful stories is  
intoxicating, he is living history, and we are honoured to 
share him  
with you. You will have a chance to perform a piece 
choreographed by  
Harold in "Hoofin' for Hunger", if you attend his rep 
classes. Robert  
Reed, Josh Hilberman, Bril Barrett, Lance Liles, Danny 
Nielsen, Logan  
Miller and Andrew Merrigan will join Mr. Cromer on the 
faculty.  
 
Make your tap weekend an Alberta holiday, Edmonton is home 
to the  
world's largest shopping mall, West Edmonton Mall. Edmonton 
is known as  
Festival City, so there will always be something different 
to do every  
week of the summer. We are a scenic drive away from the 
glorious Rocky  
Mountains, Alberta is home to Drumheller, one of the 
world's best  
dinosaur exhibits at the Royal Tyrell Museum. Calgary, our 
other  
beautiful city, is 3 hours away and Banff and Jasper are 
two of the  
most breath taking towns on the planet. A tour of Fort 
McMurray and the  
oil sands plant is, too, a short drive away. Alberta is an 
adventure  
waiting to happen and you now can include a great tap 
weekend in your  
summer vacation. And remember our Canadian dollar is a 
bargain on the  
world market. Moms could do some back to school shopping 
very cheaply  
while your tapper gets a workout.  
 
For those of you who haven't had a tap class, please join 
us at  
"Hoofin' for Hunger" the finale show and silent auction at 
Festival  
Place in Sherwood Park. I guarantee you will not be 
disappointed, so  
come out to the show on August 19, 2007 at 7 pm and prepare 
to be  
mesmerized by the talent you will see. There may even be a 
few surprise  
guests!  
 
So come join us and share the weekend with amazing Tap 
Masters and  
faculty, who all want to share their styles, secrets and 
talent with  
all of you.  
 
phone 780 722 9562  
 
Hope to see you in Alberta in August for Tap Into A Cure. 
Please pass  
this email to all tappers you know, no one should miss this 
great  
workshop. Thanks Andrew Merrigan

United Way and Silent Fire Productions together at Leaders  
 
Conference  
 
 
Contact: Matina Banks

Email: silentfireproductions@yahoo.com  
 
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE  
 
 
UNITED WAY OF AMERICA AND THE ARTS TOGETHER  
 
 
(Pittsburgh, PA)—Tuesday, May 15th, the United Way of  
 
America Staff Leaders Conference will begin in  
 
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. For the first time ever,  
 
United Way has opened up their conference to all staff  
 
across the United States allowing for a different,  
 
much younger dynamic (most attendees will be between  
 
20 and 40 years old) at the conference.  
 
To meet the needs of this new dynamic, the national  
 
office conceptualized a multimedia performance which  
 
is set to run halfway through the conference, on  
 
Wednesday. Developed through the creative partnership  
 
of L&M Productions of Alexandria, VA. and Silent Fire  
 
Productions of New York City, this performance  
 
includes not only dancing (provided by Silent Fire  
 
Production’s New York based dance company) but music,  
 
video and a voiceover (provided by L&M Productions).  
 
“It’s a lot going on at once,” said Matina Banks,  
 
choreographer for the project and Artistic Director of  
 
Silent Fire Productions. “The challenge was to  
 
incorporate the dancing into all the media being used  
 
without the dancer being lost on stage and  
 
overwhelming the audience with information.”  
 
Three testimonials of personal experiences with  
 
services provided by the United Way of America  
 
correspond to the dance, music and video that make up  
 
the performance. The performance is geared towards  
 
captivating, exciting and motivating the audience  
 
while sharing the story of how United Way fulfills its  
 
mission to help people find answers to their problems.  
 
United Way of America is one of many companies and  
 
corporations who are looking for innovative ways to  
 
inspire and educate employees during conventions and  
 
national meetings. Todd Shanks, one of the dancers  
 
for the performance has done two other performances  
 
similar to this, one for Volvo, and the other for  
 
Ford. “I like doing performances like these because  
 
the people are excited to be there,” Shanks says.  
 
“Because the audience is made up of employees from  
 
United Way, they already know why they are there, they  
 
know what they need. It’s different then performing  
 
at a concert where you are not really sure how the  
 
audience is going to react. In this situation they  
 
are focused and inspired and we, as dancers, expanding  
 
on that by giving them a visual representation of  
 
that.”  
 
 
The three day conference will be held at Pittsburgh’s  
 
Convention Center, beginning Tuesday, May 15th and  
 
ending Thursday, May 16th.

Hi friends and colleagues,  
 
I am extending this invitation for my curatorial debut @

combining  
vocals, verse and video with live and electronic music. 
These should  
be great evenings here in June!

and  
sensibilities for a quintet composed of himself, bassist 
Francis  
Mbappé, pianist Michael Cain, vocalists Kamillah akLaff and 
Amon Bey.

sound through a myriad of verse, language, and electronic 
vocal  
processing. This work-in-progress, Excerpts from Fraud & 
Coda, features  
Diggs (vocals, text, electronics, visuals), Daniel 
Marcellus Givens,  
and Guillermo E. Brown, (electronics and vocals).

Hello all ~  
 
Pacha NY is participating in the dance parade this year to 
be held on Saturday, May 19, 2007. We are gearing up a 
fabulous cherry float with a live DJ, dancers, a truss with 
hanging disco balls, & lots of fun! I will have a body 
painter on-site to paint Pacha cherries on our faces, arms, 
legs, torsos…It would be great if you could join us to walk 
alongside the float & dance your hearts out in support of 
the dance community. If you have children, please bring 
them along too! It’s an event for the whole family! Perhaps 
that some of you are already participating; let me know so 
that I can come by & say hello!  
 
Hope that you will join us in supporting the NY dance 
community. Take a look at this website for more info: 
www.danceparade.org.  
 
Please be sure to sign up at 
http://www.danceparade.org/join/dance.php. In the lower 
right hand side make sure that you click where it says 
"DANCING WITH" and click on "HOUSE: PACHA".  
 
Really hope to see you there!!

Hello friends!  
 
I hope this e-mail finds you all well!  
 
Just wanted to let y'all know that I will be appearing on 
ABC's Good Morning America on Monday morning to compete in 
their "Dancing with the Moms" competition. Four mothers 
were selected from thousands across the country to compete 
in a special live dance contest. I and three of my 
colleagues will be dancing in an elimination round format 
(first round - Cha-cha; second round - Swing; third round - 
Salsa).  
 
Please check it out and don't forget to vote for me and my 
mom partner, Awilda Lopez-Yolich (it'll be a phone-in vote 
like Dancing with the Stars and American Idol). I hope you 
enjoy the dancing!  
 
Take care,  
Rodney Lopez
