DETAILS WWW.MYSPACE.COM/GROOVEONTAP =========================================== 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). Mr. Wiggles is a featured artist in this exhibit... don't miss it!

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! Bril Barrett M.A.D.D.

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 * Tap Into Cure * Class Schedule * Registration * The Cause M.A.D.D.

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. =========================================== A message from Rashida: Hi friends and colleagues, I am extending this invitation for my curatorial debut @ The Kitchen on June 1st & 2nd.
