FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
January 19th, 2009
COMMUNITY ALERT and A CALL TO ACTION:
LEGENDARY MULTI-CULTURAL DANCE SCHOOL CLOSING!
Djoniba Dance & Drum Centre, the legendary New YorkCity multi-ethnic
dance school and not-for-profit organization, closed its doors on
December 31st 2008 after 15 years of "exceptional contributions to our city",
(the council of NYC). Hit by the economic crisis -- with fewer students
attending classes -- and a major rent increase, DDDC had no other option
but to sadly shut down.
The immediate result is 55 teachers and drummers losing their jobs.
Hundreds of children from lower income families losing the opportunity to
receive free dance scholarships, along with thousands of adult students
losing their community workout, a place to release stress and convene
"Since its establishment, Djoniba Dance & Drum Centre-one of New York
City's largest minority-owned cultural centers- has dedicated itself to
connecting men and women of all ages and ethnicities through the arts.
In a letter of June 2007, Mayor Bloomberg wrote, "As we look back on the
incredible accomplishments of DDDC's 15 years, we also look forward to
Even greater achievements on the horizon."
"I am confident that the New York community and government officials,
who understand the profound impact that our philosophy and ethnic dance
taught in our institution has on so many lives, will rally up and help us
continue our mission of providing health, fitness, and harmony amongst
New Yorkers" says the founder Djoniba Mouflet.
DDDC needs funds for a new home and is urgently seeking aid. You can
make donations on line at www.djoniba.com or by mail. Contributions will
allow for construction, fundraising, architectural design, web design,
building materials, office furniture and equipment,
Who knows how long this economic climate will last -but what kind of city
will be left when it's over, if we allow our community owned cultural institutions
to close?
About Djoniba Dance & Drum Centre
Since its inception in 1992, as a not-for-profit cultural and charitable
organization, The Djoniba Dance and Drum Centre has strived to celebrate
our global diversity through world dance and music and is dedicated to
bridging the gap between all ages, ethnic groups,
and cultures through dance and music. The Centre is one of New York
City's largest minority-owned dance studio, and the only cultural center in the
world specializing in multi-ethnic dance and drum. The Centre serves thousands of
adults and children annually, has a roster of 35 master teachers dancers and
drummers, who teach more than 100 dance classes per week in more than 30
different styles of movement and music from around the world.
Founded and directed by Djoniba Mouflet, the internationally-acclaimed
drummer, dancer, teacher, performer and choreographer, the Centre
houses three dance studios, a children's program and
an adult evening program. DDDC has become a popular cultural and
fitness spot, attended by celebrities like Tyra Banks, Julia Roberts, Brook
Shields and featured in several magazines, newspapers and major TV shows.
Awarded "Best New York Dance School" several years in a row by The
Village Voice, New York Magazine, New York Press and AM New York,
DDDC has also been recognized by city officials-including Mayor Bloomberg,
The City Council, Manhattan Borough president Scott M. Stringer, as well
as NY State Assembly N. Godfrey for its outstanding service to the NY community.
"I applaud Djoniba Dance & Drum Centre for your strong commitment to
the culture and community." Richard N. Godfrey / New York State Assembly
"It is the tradition and custom of the New York City Council to honor its most
distinguished citizens, and today we are pleased to recognize Djoniba Dance &
Drum Centre, Inc for its exceptional contributions to our City. Today, we honor
Djoniba Dance & Drum Centre, Inc an organization that has distinguished itself
in service to the community: is has enriched us with its presence and achievements
and is worthy of the esteem of all New Yorkers"

VLA presents,
Law and Film CLE Ethics Class: Conflict of Principles in No Country for Old Men
When:
Tuesday, February 24, 2009: 6pm-8pm
Where:
Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts
1 East 53rd Street (on the corner with 5th Ave)
Auditorium
NY, NY 10022
Note: There are two (2) Continuing Legal Education (CLE) ethics credits available for this class.
VLA is proud to announce a new CLE law and film series. Our new law and film series will focus on the study of ethics through the prism of film and cinema. Attendees will be mailed a DVD of the film along with reading material two-weeks before the class. Registered participants will then attend a two-hour class to discuss the film and readings.
Topics covered will include:
Individual choice (self-interest) vs. collective responsibility
Personal morality, professional roles, collegial pressures, and economic incentives
Competing and unfixed ethical values
Ethical values vs. practical/situational pressures
Fairness, justice, honesty, loyalty, confidentiality, and conflicts of interest
Recognition and resolution of ethical dilemmas
To launch our new law and film series, we begin with Joel and Ethan Coen's film, based on Cormac McCarthy's 2005 novel, No Country for Old Men. No Country for Old Men provides legal professionals with an abundance of ethical problems and conflicts. Ethics, morals, principles and laws are all seen in this film in literal and abstract representations, allowing for both practical and philosophical discussions as to how they may apply to interpersonal relations and how at times certain choices can produce unintended consequences.
All registered participants will be mailed a DVD of the film along with reading material two-weeks before the class, so please register by February 11th to guarantee reception of materials. Registered participants will then attend a two-hour class on February 24th to discuss the film and readings.
This class will be taught by Sergio Muñoz Sarmiento, Esq., VLA's Director of Education. He has previously taught critical theory, film, and visual culture at Hofstra University, Harvard University, USC, and UC-Irvine.

A Message from Rusty Frank:
Greetings Gates,
Where's Rusty? I'll tell you. I'm freezing my dancing feet off! I'm in New York from January 16-23 on a lecture tour.
Ron and Gio will make sure that the Lindy ByThe Sea classes are fun-filled and informative! Robert Vangor and the gang will make sure the Rhythm Club is the best possible. (I want to hear how packed the club was!)
Go ahead and make your On Tap orders; I'll take care of orders upon my return.
I'll have access to email, so if you have any questions, feel free to email me rusty@rustyfrank.com, or go directly to the RustyFrank.com.
If you are reading this and live around Albany, NY (or know someone who does), the schedule is below. I would love to see you.
Here's a brief description of what I'll be doing there: I'm on a lecture tour in and around Albany. I'll be giving fourteen one-hour talks on the history of American Jazz Dance (Cake Walk, Charleston, Tap, Lindy Hop), showing archival clips, demonstrating, and generally spreading the joy of dance to the masses. The talks are geared to small audiences in libraries and local community centers to ignite interest in an upcoming Jazz Dance festival at the big performing arts center in Albany, which is called The Egg. The great thing is they are providing me a driver! Yeah. I had originally thought they were going to give me a rental car, a map, and a GPS. So I am quite thrilled that I won't have to be driving in the freezing cold, and, most importantly, I will be dropped off at the door of each place!
So have a great time in my absence. Thank all the volunteers at the Rhythm Club when you're there, and be nice to Ron and Gio (well, to Ron, anyway - wink, wink).

Young Jean Lee's Theater Company: THE SHIPMENT
Written and directed by Young Jean Lee
January 8-10 (Thurs–Sat) and 14-17, 21-24 (Wed-Sat), 8pm
Saturday, January 10, 3pm
Extended by popular demand!
New dates added: January 28-31 (Wed-Sat), 8pm
Tickets: $15
Known for her provocatively satiric performance works, writer/director Young Jean Lee presents the New York premiere of THE SHIPMENT. For this piece, Lee gave herself the most uncomfortable challenge she could imagine: to make -- as a Korean-American – a black identity-politics work. In collaboration with an all-black cast, Lee takes the audience on an awkward and volatile roller-coaster ride through the absurdities and atrocities that arise when trying to discuss the black experience in America. Ludicrous, honest, and devoid of truisms, THE SHIPMENT dares to ask embarrassing questions and to seek solutions to impossible problems.
Click here to see The New York Times Theater Review of THE SHIPMENT
To purchase tickets please click here or call the Box Office: 212-255-5793 ext. 11. Box Office Hours: Tue-Sat, 2-6pm
VISA, American Express, and MasterCard accepted. Paid reservations only. A $1 per ticket handling fee applies to all phone orders.
THE SHIPMENT was co-commissioned by the Wexner Center for the Arts at The Ohio State University and The Kitchen, and was developed with support from the Rockefeller MAP Foundation, the Jerome Foundation, The Greenwall Foundation, and the New York State Council on the Arts, a state agency. The work received additional residency support from Brooklyn Arts Exchange, Collapsable Hole, IRT Theater, MacDowell Colony, New Dramatists, Orchard Project, and Yaddo. THE SHIPMENT is produced by Young Jean Lee's Theater Company.
THE SHIPMENT is also made possible in part by a grant from the Ford Foundation and the Association of Performing Arts Presenters Ensemble Theatre Collaborations Grant Program.
The Kitchen's presentation of THE SHIPMENT is made possible with generous support from The Greenwall Foundation and with public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and the New York State Council on the Arts, a state agency.

Crazy Sexy Disco Brings the Glamour and Fantasy
of the 70's to DUMBO Let's Boogie Baby!
Crazy Sexy Disco( New York , NY ) Wednesday, January 14, 2009—A new type of dance show emerges at a time where we can fall back in love with sequins, afros and disco balls. Crazy Sexy Disco has announced their eclectic performance gig at The Underwater Lounge at Water Street Restaurant in DUMBO, Brooklyn . Every third Thursday of the month from January through March, a new generation of fun-loving party-goers can experience this disco-liscous production starting at 9pm. Tickets are $20 and there's a two drink minimum.
The show is an hour and fifteen minute trip into the disco nightlife including interactive stories of love triangles, 70's classics and fond memories of 'the good life, as it was thirty years ago. Nine dancers, one vocalist and the MC (Jimbo Smiley) entertain audiences with an unforgettable night. (Did we mention there are roller-skates?)
The show appeals to the generations that lived through the disco era and warmly welcomes new audiences to this full-scale production.
Charging up the East Coast, Crazy Sexy Disco was booked for New Year's Eve at Boogie Nights, one of Atlantic City 's hottest nightclubs. Jen James made the comment, "The energy level was through the roof. Many disco devotees are already coming to see our NYC show. They're even planning to dress up in bell bottoms and fringed vests to get into the mood. DISCO is officially back!"
The show is produced, directed and choreographed by leading artists Jen James, Liz Piccoli and Svea Schneider. Together, their experience spans from the NYC Metropolitan Opera, Knicks City Dancers, MTV, Decadancetheatre and Pink and now lends itself to future off-Broadway spots.
"Dance is so hot in pop culture right now. Spectators that love Dancing with the Stars will be hooked on with Crazy Sexy Disco. Match that with the tremendous impact that hip hop has made on Broadway with In the Heights and we're seeing a new phase of live dance entertainment on the rise," Svea Schneider.
Pay a visit to this show every third Thursday of the month at The Underwater Lounge at Water Street Restaurant in DUMBO. For more information, please visit www.myspace.com/crazysexydisco or call Liz Piccoli at 201.245.2015. Crazy Sexy Disco is available for private and corporate bookings.
"Crazy Sexy Disco fortunately ensures that a love of 70's music is a vibrant, fun time that we can revel in, not have to hide as a guilty pleasure," Charl Kroeger

See THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA in Los Angeles!
Andrew Lloyd Webber's THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, directed by Harold Prince and choreo'd by Gillian Lynne, will return for the first time to the Pantages Theatre in Hollywood in over a decade. With worldwide grosses estimated at over $5 billion, it is the most successful entertainment venture of the twentieth century. The winner of seven Tony(r) Awards, including Best Mus ical, THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA has been seen by over 80 million people in 124 cities in 25 countries.

He falls madly in love with an innocent young soprano, Christine, and devotes himself to creating a new star by nurturing her extraordinary talents and by employing all of the devious methods at his command.

Dear Dance Friends,
I have had a retail dancewear shop for 19 years and with advent of my present circumstances (living in two places 3 hours apart) and a dreadful economy, the store has become more of a burden than it is worth. I am not going to close completely but I am looking to significantly reduce on shelf merchandise and go to an order-only system until the economy recovers. I would very much like to move my stock of pointe shoes as I do not want them to sit on the shelves and age beyond good usage. They are BLOCH and a variety of styles mostly in sizes 3.5 to 6.5 in a variety of widths. I am looking to move them in bulk at $40 per pair plus tax and shipping (if necessary) or $35/pair if 10 pair or more.
I also have a wide array of leotards if you are in need of costume bases or classwear, slippers,jazz shoes, Soffee products, children's ballet books, accessories for pointe, hair, make up and so on.
Please let me know if you have
* an interest in any products
* a special request or need
* a vending opportunity.
* a contact for someone who might be in need of product supply
In this economy it is important that we all help each other and so I thank you for your assistance.
Sincerely,
Kathryn Austin
