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

look back on the
incredible accomplishments of DDDC's 15 years, we also look

• have offices within the five boroughs of New York
City;
• be a current member of Arts & Business Council of
New York (or become one);
• contribute $1,000 to your intern's stipend (that
works out to $2.50/hour on your part, such a deal);
• be able to provide an intern with a meaningful
project (i.e. not completely clerical).And this is what you
get:
• an bright, shiny undergraduate intern for 10 weeks
of full-time assistance;
• $1,500 grant from ABC/NY to contribute to the
intern's stipend;
• an unlimited MetroCards for the duration of the

Law and Film CLE Ethics Class: Conflict of Principles in No Country for Old Men
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: Where’s Rusty?
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).

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.

Crazy Sexy Disco Brings the Glamour and Fantasy of the 70's to DUMBO
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

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.

Dancewear & Shoes Available!
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

are and project the same to the outer world - their
audience.
F.A.C.E. will connect you with the performer you are and
provide you with the tools necessary to compete in today's
world. Auditions and even interviews can be challenging and
F.A.C.E. provides the tools to manage nervousness, low
self-esteem, and lack of focus.

Djoniba Dance & Drum Centre, the legendary New YorkCity
multi-ethnic
dance school and not-for-profit organization, is closing
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 has no
other option
but to sadly shut down.
The immediate result would be 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?

The Shipment by Young Jean Lee @ The Kitchen
The Shipment by Young Jean Lee @ The Kitchen
Young Jean Lee's Theater Company: THE SHIPMENT
Written and directed by Young Jean Lee
January 14-17, 21-24 (Wed-Sat), 8pm
Saturday, January 10, 3pm
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.
To purchase tickets please 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.

2009 NIGHTLIFE AWARDS
THE ALL PERFORMANCE AWARDS CONCERT!
"THE NIGHTCLUB WORLD'S EQUIVALENT OF THE TONY'S" - Stephen Holden, NY Times
TheaterMania is proud to be one of the original sponsors of The Nightlife Awards. It's the only broad-based critics' award for Nightlife performers in New York City. Better still, it's the only all-performance award show in the world, making it totally audience-friendly! It works like this: the best performers in cabaret, comedy and jazz in the nightclubs of New York are chosen by a distinguished panel of more than two dozen critics and judges and the winners, rather than make acceptance speeches, perform to show why they were chosen. And not just the winners! Special guest stars also perform! This year, expect to see a glittering combination of both winners and special guest stars that will include Larry Gatlin of The Gatlin Brothers, Stephanie J. Block (starring later this season on Broadway in 9-5), Euan Morton (Tony Nominee for Taboo), multiple Tony winner Tommy Tune, and Broadway song and dance star Noah Racey and the New York Tap Ensemble. Among the Nightlife Award winners who have already committed to performing this year are the legendary Marilyn Maye, jazz great Freddy Cole, the sensational pairing of Tony Award winner Christine Ebersole and the sophisticated Billy Stritch, comedy sensation and star of "Sleepwalk with Me" Mike Birbiglia, cabaret star Baby Jane Dexter, crossover jazz star Allan Harris, the brilliant comedienne Helen Baldassare, up-and-coming cabaret star Brandon Cutrell, and many more surprise guests from across the world of entertainment!
The Nightlife Awards, about to celebrate its seventh edition, was created by Scott Siegel, who also created Broadway by the Year, Broadway Unplugged, The Broadway/Cabaret Festival, and The Summer Broadway Festival -- all at Town Hall. His unique Awards Concert offers Bang, Bang, Bang entertainment by the greatest entertainers in New York nightlife. As a longtime contributor to TheaterMania, and because TheaterMania is a premier sponsor, you will receive the opportunity with this E-Blast to get the best available seats in what has become a hugely popular awards concert that has been hailed by the likes of the NY Times and Variety.

Dear Friends,
You may already have received this, but it is so important, I'm
passing it along.
Quincy Jones has started a petition to ask President-Elect Obama to
appoint a Secretary of the Arts. While many other countries have
had Ministers of Art or Culture for centuries, The United States
has never created such a position. We in the arts need this and
the country needs the arts--now more than ever. Please take a
moment to sign this important petition and then pass it on to your
friends and colleagues.
