A Message from Brian “Footwork” Green:
NY! JAN.3, 2008! HAPPY NEW YEAR from the HOUSE DANCE
CHRISTIANS (Conference)!! BBOY/BGIRL CONTEST! $500!! KEN
SWIFT & HONEY ROCKWELL!!
PARTY PEOPLE,
HOUSE DANCE CHRISTIANS ( a.k.a. COnference), is here this
month to give people CHRIST (who says,' I AM THE WAY, THE
TRUTH, and THE LIGHT!! Whoever believeth in me shall not
perish, but have eternal lift!!). MERRY CHRISTMAS
EVERYONE and let's try to remember and celebrate the birth
of JESUS CHRIST everyday!!
HAUS FRAUS did very nicely. They wanted to perform, and
they did it!! Good job. WELL!! HDC PATRONS!! It's been 2

ROOM!! If the FUNK ROOM don't take it in JANURARY for the
bboy contest!! WELL!! THAT's IT!! TO THE SHOWERS!! The FUNK
ROOM will be in the small room!!
MESSAGE: LOVE ALL OF YOU and stay truly loving, tolerant
of others that are still sinning against others while you
are not and have realize the errors of your ways. Because
when you were in sin against others, there were people who
were tolerant of you. If you have to take a person 1 on 1
and tell them their errors of their ways, and listen to
them as well. Have forgiveness, and try not to repeat what
you hear. Passing what you hear, only passes sin to
another's ear, and then makes a person assume about another
person. Which does not give the person talked about any
time to grow and change in the mind of the person that
listened to the rumor said. Let's start to change.

News from Dance/NYC:
SAVE THE DATE!
Dance/NYC will be having an Open House at our new digs on
Thursday, January 17th from 5PM to 8PM. Come meet the new
staff, see the new Dance/NYC loft and join in some music,
wine and good times!
------------------------------------------------------
IF YOU ATTEND DANCE/NYC EVENTS PLEASE READ!
Dance/NYC is now set up in our new home on the 6th floor of
Greene Street. For those who have had the opportunity to
visit, it is apparent our new offices are much smaller and
we only have conference room capacity to accommodate 15
people or less for our in house events. As result of this
change Dance/NYC will be required to rent outside space for
many of our events. To cover our expenses in having events
offsite we will begin charging a small fee for our
professional development events. Our Roundtables and Town
Halls will continue to be offered free of charge.
We have developed a system we believe will work very well
with artists ever changing schedules (and budgets), and you
will have the option of making decisions that work best for
you.
As of January 1, Dance/NYC will offer a Dance/NYC class
pass. This pass will be $10.00 and offer admission to 3
Dance/NYC events for the 2008 calendar year. Once you have
paid for the dance class pass through our donation button
on our website you will be mailed a card which will be
punched each time you choose to attend a Dance/NYC event.
This way if you can’t make the event at the last minute you
don’t lose the admission fee, you can just apply it to
another event.
Should you elect not to purchase the Dance/NYC class pass
then admission for the Dance/NYC event will be $5.00 and
will be collected at the door the day of the event.
We will still ask that all attendees RSVP through our
website so we can have an accurate count for every event,
but if your plans change you don’t lose out.
Below is a list of tentative upcoming events at Dance/NYC,
and remember, many events will be coming to your door step
in Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx - you don’t want to miss
out, so get your Dance/NYC class pass today.

Judy Bady 2008 Eastern Europe Touring Schedule:
Saturday - February 16, 2008 - I leave for Russia, and
will be there for several weeks touring Siberia,
Russia with the wonderful Alexander Mashin Trio,
http://www.jazzmashin.com.
Thursday - 3/27/08 - I leave USA for Szczecin, Poland,
where I'll be presenting several jazz vocal workshops
and performing at the Royal Jazz Club,
http://www.royal.szczecin.pl.
Tuesday - 4/1/08 - I leave Sczecin, Poland for
Katowice, Poland, where I will be performing at as
well as presenting two days of jazz vocal workshops at
the Third Annual Silesia Jazz Festival.
Please be on the lookout for additional information on
my touring schedule. Also, please visit my website
for information on purchasing my debut CD,
"Blackbird." The October 2004 Down Beat review of
"Blackbird" by Fred Bouchard says:
*** (Three Stars)
In-your-face candor, raw musicality, fab time and
blues heft mark Bady's fresh, personal readings of
classics, from churchy "Battle Hymn Of The Republic"
to sand-in-your-shoes "Dindi." Bady's acerbic timbre
and salty directness recall Della Reese and Carmen
McRae. Her rich alto delivers honest, reality honed
readings with bare trio or less--just hands-off
producer Misha Piatigorsky's simpatico piano or, on
"That's All," only Greg Searvance's snare drum. She
scats a little, hums reedily, stretches words and
lines sumptuously. Hear her exuberant swoop through
"Caravan" like a desert hawk.
Ordering Info: http://www.judybady.com
My total discography includes: "Jazz Appreciation
Month 2006" - Released by the Embassy of the United
States of America in Armenia; "Book of Unstandards" by
Chris Chalfant; "We Want to Give Thanks," by Piotr
Wojtasik; "Gospel Jazz Mass: Live at Ascension
