If you've been to <strong>Dance</strong> Fair before, you<br />
know what a great event this is. If this will<br />
be your first year, you're going to love it.<br />
The doors will open at 3:30pm, with general<br />
dancing from 4:00-5:00pm. Dinner<br />
will be served at 5:00pm. Starting at<br />
6:30pm, we will have approximately 50<br />
exhibitions, grouped into sets, with general<br />
dancing between each set. This is a great<br />
opportunity to enjoy the vast ballroom<br />
dancing talent located in the greater <strong>Dayton</strong><br />
area. If you'd like to perform, talk to<br />
your dance instructor.<br />
Ticket prices are $5 higher than last year.<br />
Hara Arena raised their prices substantially<br />
over last year's rates, so this price increase<br />
was necessary to cover our expenses.<br />
However, this is still a GREAT bargain for<br />
such a fantastic evening.<br />

The February dance of the 76 Club was held at<br />
Arbor Hall on February 7 th , 2003. The dance<br />
was attended by 129 dancers; we really appreciate<br />
your attendance, especially given the slippery<br />
conditions. Jack Meinking provided a<br />
wonderful selection of both new and classic dance music and received<br />
many compliments from the attendees.<br />
During the intermission, John Bucholz and two of his students<br />
provided the entertainment. For the first dance, Karen Clute<br />
(wearing a flowing peach-colored gown) and John danced an exciting<br />
and challenging ten-dance medley. Jane Kline (wearing a<br />
black-and-silver dress) then joined John to dance a vibrant cha<br />
cha. The audience appreciated the expertise and styling of both<br />
routines.<br />
The next 76 Club dance will be held March 6 th , 2003. Music will<br />
be provided by Tony Rimkus. We look forward to seeing you<br />
there.<br />

Swing ‘n’ Sway<br />
Think Spring. Think Swing 'n' Sway into Spring<br />
that is.<br />
Our club is proud to bring you the first dance of<br />
Spring 2004, 8-11 p.m., March 27 at Arbor Hall.<br />
Sure to put a "spring" in your step will be the<br />
delightful music of our very own Jack Yaus.<br />
Our thanks to Cincinnatians<br />
Anne Perl and Kevin Kock for their foxtrot<br />
rendition at our January dance. They<br />
have danced previous exhibitions in English<br />
waltz and international tango, which were<br />
choreographed by Bonita Brockert. Neither<br />
dancer is a stranger to exhibition or competitive<br />
dancing. Anne, a native of Austria, began<br />
dancing in her teens. By her mid-20s she<br />
was dancing in Viennese waltz formations and competing in international<br />
standard. Her work as a research scientist for Children's<br />
hospital brought her to the Queen City in 1999. When she found<br />
the local USABDA chapter for social and exhibition dancing, she<br />
knew she could be comfortable in her new home. Kevin is a Cincinnati<br />
native and has performed dance exhibitions since the mid-<br />
90s. By 1999 he had a yen to compete and did so in American<br />
smooth and international standard under the watchful eye of Bonita.<br />
The computer programmer met Anne in January 2000 and<br />
they became exhibition dance partners in April.<br />
It's not too early to be thinking about planning for New Year's Eve.<br />
If you'd enjoy being on the creative team to plan this year-ending<br />
event, contact a Swing ‘n’ Sway board member.<br />
See you 'round the dance floor.<br />

— Dean Shipley, reporter<br />
Annual 76 Club Dinner/Meeting/<br />
The end of the dance year for the 76 Club is fast approaching.<br />
Our final (April) event of the year is always a combination of a<br />
dinner, followed by a brief business meeting and election of new<br />
board members, capped by our regular dance. The date is Saturday,<br />
April 3 rd ; the doors will open at 5:30 PM; the dinner will<br />
start at 6 PM; the business meeting will start at about 7 PM; and<br />
the dance, as usual, starts at 8 PM.<br />
This year, the dinner will feature roast beef, baked chicken, Italian<br />
meatballs, and turkey & dressing accompanied by redskin<br />
potatoes, green beans, and carrots. There will be a 25-item salad<br />
bar for your enjoyment, and the dinner will be capped-off with<br />
assorted fruit pies. The cost for the meal for non-members is $10<br />
per person. There is NO COST to members for the meal, but, in<br />
order to enjoy the dinner, YOU MUST SUBMIT A RESERVA-<br />
TION FORM (printed on Page 5 of this <strong>News</strong>letter) and include<br />
the $10 deposit for each member. The $10 will be returned to the<br />
members at the door.<br />
REGULAR members will pay the normal $6 entry fee for the<br />
dance; non-members pay $10 per person for the dance. Reservation<br />
forms must be received by March 26 th .<br />
<strong>Dance</strong>(tonians)<br />
Our entertainment was championshiplevel<br />
competitive amateur couple Phil<br />
and Marcie Gabriele from South Bend,<br />
Indiana. They danced a romantic waltz,<br />
with Marcie dressed in a beautiful pink<br />
gown, and Phil looking handsome in<br />
black. After Marcie changed into a sexy<br />
black dress, and Phil donned a hat, they<br />
danced a sultry tango with Argentinean<br />
styling. They are wonderful performers<br />
and were very well received.<br />
<strong>Dance</strong>(tonians) celebrated Valentine's Day<br />
by sharing our love for ballroom dancing,<br />
with over 190 in attendance, at Arbor Hall<br />
on February 14th. We handed out chocolate<br />
candy hearts as a special treat to the first 125<br />
guests. The tables were festively decorated<br />
with red hearts, and pink rosebuds in small<br />
vases. Jack Meinking played a wide variety<br />
of music to keep everyone on their feet.<br />
We held our usual raffle of three restaurant gift certificates. Congratulations<br />
to the winners.<br />
For our March dance, the Shipleys will be performing a waltz for<br />
us. They have a new routine, so if you think you've seen the<br />
Shipley's before, you've never seen them like this!<br />
It was great to see such a large turnout for our Valentine's <strong>Dance</strong>.<br />
We hope to see all of you again for our next dance on March 13th<br />
at Arbor Hall.<br />

Open Letter from the Club Boards<br />
Dear Club Members,<br />
As you are probably aware, the past year has been a difficult year financially.<br />
All three clubs have operated with significant deficits ($2-3 thousand)<br />
between their income and operating expenses. The major expenses of hosting<br />
a monthly dance are the rental of Arbor Hall and the DJ fee, totaling about<br />
$1000 per night. These expenses are fixed but reasonable.<br />
Your club boards held a joint meeting in mid-January, primarily to discuss<br />
the deficits and to determine an approach to minimizing the “red ink” in future<br />
years. Among other things, we plan to reduce the amount of money spent for<br />
entertainment at the intermission, and the costs for the monthly newsletter are<br />
being reduced. However, our main problem is with our income. In the past few<br />
years, the number of members in each of the clubs have decreased – more for<br />
some clubs than for others. Also, attendance at most dances has fallen off<br />
about 25%. The membership dues and the guest/regular member door<br />
charges no longer come close to covering the increased expenses. One main<br />
problem is that the current dues for Prepaid membership [for <strong>Dance</strong>(tonians)<br />
and 76] provide an income of only $4.09 or $3.75 respectively per person for<br />
each dance; another problem for some clubs is that the number of paying<br />
guests per dance has decreased.<br />
It is the intent of the <strong>Dance</strong>(tonians) and 76 clubs to increase fees to provide<br />
more income from the Prepaid status; the amount will increase to provide<br />
$5.45 or $5 respectively per person per dance ($60 per year, which matches<br />
the Swing ‘n’ Sway fee). <strong>Dance</strong>(tonians) and 76 clubs are also raising their<br />
Regular membership dues to $20 per person per year. All three clubs are also<br />
trying to attract more guests and new members by advertising in a number of<br />
free publications, including the GO! section of the <strong>Dayton</strong> Daily <strong>News</strong> (and activedayton.com)<br />
and in the Single Source <strong>News</strong>. We also have a Web site<br />
(ballroomdancedayton.com) under construction to provide more information<br />
about the clubs and the dances.<br />
Phil and Marcie Gabriele, pictured above,<br />
performed a waltz and tango during intermission<br />
at <strong>Dance</strong>(tonians) Valentine’s Day<br />
<strong>Dance</strong> on February 14th. The mild weather<br />
that evening helped bring our a large crowd<br />
for the dance. See Page 2 for more details.<br />
We ask for your understanding as we try these measures to keep the<br />
clubs solvent. The increases we have proposed will NOT cover all the expenses,<br />
but we hope that we can increase the attendance at the dances<br />
enough to cover the difference. YOU CAN HELP by “talking up” the dances at<br />
your studios and among your dancing friends. If you have been to a dance<br />
recently, you know that there has been plenty of dancing and sitting space<br />
available (except for the 76 Club dance in December 2003). Even with the increased<br />
dues, the dances are still an entertainment bargain.<br />
Respectfully yours,<br />
Rick Courtney, Chairman, <strong>Dance</strong>(tonians)<br />
Bill Dean, President, Seventy-Six<br />
Pamela Neveu, President, Swing ‘n’ Sway<br />

SECOND ANNUAL "CHALLENGE"<br />
This 'baby' competition is definitely 'booming'! With approximately<br />
2,500 entries this year, the comp has grown considerably<br />
from last year. The "Global Grand Pro-Am Circuit<br />
Organizers", one of which is the always highly visible, handson<br />
Sam Sodano of Ohio Star Ball fame, have put together a<br />
well-run and friendly event that is well worth attending!<br />
The 2004 2nd Annual Global Grand Challange had a "who's<br />
who" list of officials. Heading this list was Scrutineer and<br />
Chairman of Judges Leroy Walters; judging were Didio<br />
Barrera, Rufus Dustin, Donna Edlestein, Ian Folker,<br />
Rosendo Fumero, Diane Gingerich, Maria Hansen, Kristina<br />
Ilo, Susan McFerran and Kathryn Schaffer. The music was<br />
beautifully done by Keith Todd and the registry handled by<br />
the always competent and very busy Brenda Burger. Also<br />
playing a very large part in running this competition were<br />
Anna Harwood, Nancy Senner, Lindsey Rutherford and last,<br />
but certainly not least, Bill Sparks.<br />
The Global Grand Challenge was held in the Marriott Hotel<br />
in Downtown Indianapolis beginning February 5th and ending<br />
February 7th. This is a beautifully appointed hotel and<br />
the staff were always courteous, friendly and helpful in any<br />
circumstance.<br />
The ballroom was lovely, housing not only the beautiful wood<br />
competition floor, but a nice sized wood practice floor to one<br />
side, behind the tables and chairs provided for spectators<br />
and competitors! The vendors were also located inside the<br />
ballroom, but possibly as the comp grows in size the space<br />
now utilized by vendors will be appropriated for additional<br />
seating and the vendors will be located in the spacious areas<br />
outside the ballroom. Just a few steps down the hall from<br />
the ballroom were 2 very large rooms (one for ladies and<br />
one for gents) available to competitors for changing costumes,<br />
freshening make-up, or to just plain rest! Nice touch!<br />
The Global Grand Challenge was held in the Marriott Hotel<br />
in downtown Indianapolis February 5-7, 2004 and was attended<br />
by studios from across the Tri-State <strong>Area</strong> and beyond.<br />
Pro/Am Competitors from Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky were:<br />
Doreen Beatrice with Kevin Kock, Calvin Pauley and Hans<br />
Maaswinkel<br />
Bonita Brockert with Gene Brockert, David Kraut, Chris<br />
Meyer and James Warner<br />
Nicole Carroll with Bill Woodward<br />
