Mickey B is bringing Disco Back
Every resurgence has a power source, a stimulus, to ignite the fire. Mickey B, with over 45 years in the entertainment business is on a mission. He is ready to re-light the disco inferno. He has done it all, from radio to television and everything in between. He was given the name “Prince of Rock & Roll” becuase of the numerous contributions he has made over the years. He grew up as the King of the Catskills , MCing at an early age and making a name for himself. For 18 consecutive years he hosted the New Year Eve Gala at the Hyatt Cerromar Beach Hotel. Mickey B. has fond memories of his Catskill days and the dozens of hotels with the non-stop dancing and entertainment. These cherished memories have lit a fire of encouragement for Mickey B. to launch a new wave of dancing. “It’s time for couple to get close and start dancing cheek to cheek again”. That being said, on November 7th, the “Saturday Night Disco Fever”, will take place. You’ll experience some of the biggest names from the Disco Era performing, witness a head to head dance contest (the winners of the preliminaries) and you’ll dance the night away. Mickey B’s illustrious career includes recording 10 records with “Tico and the Triumphs”. Super Star Paul Simon was a member of the group. Mickey B. produced and sung many songs released in the USA and France. He has appeared as a guest on many of the top rated television shows. His great love for music has made him a leader in the industry. As the host of several of his own shows on cable TV, he now produces concerts and music festivals. In addition to writing a monthly column for the “50+ LifeStyles” newspaper, he also supports many senior promotions and events. Mickey B. can also be seen and heard on many radio and TV commercials. Every Friday night you can hear Mickey B. doing his thing via his weekly radio show. Just tune in to 1240 AM, from 7-10, for WGBB as he plays all the oldies and takes your requests. Mickey B. loves the sounds of the 70′s and 80′s and is anxious to help re-create the era when kids, of all ages, would touch dance. The planets are in the right places to make all this happen again and Mickey B. is kicking off one heck of a tribute with multiple preliminary dance contests. The top names in hustle dancing are all getting involved too. Lou Del Prete, Mark James, Donna DeSimone, Lori Brizzi,….The winners from the preliminary contests will move on to the finals, on stage, November 7, at “Saturday Night Disco Fever” held at The Patchogue Theatre for the Performing Arts. The performances will include: Karen Lynn Gorney (Special Appearance), The Trammps, Harold Melvin’s Blue Notes, France Joli, Sweetwater Orchestra and Phil Francavilla. For all the details visit www.MickeyB.com Pass the word, Mickey B. is bringing Disco back.
Letters to the Editor
(our goal is to post readers letters twice a month, unfortunately due to space limitations we can not publish them all)
Hi, I wanted to share my web site with you…please click on www.kidsforcoltrane.com I am an educator who teaches through the arts. My work was written about in The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times. I brought ballroom dancing to my students, and it led to such joy!!! I first started to do the Hustle with my teacher Mark James and had a fabulous experience. Michael Pagan was kind enough to come to my school to work with my kids. Much of his time with the kids was voluntary. Just want to say thank you to the dance community for bringing such joy to so many.
Best,
Christine Termini Passarella
NYC Educator
Hey Ron
I didn’t get Dancetalk last week and two weeks prior? I really look forward to reading it every week. I wasn’t sure if maybe it didn’t come out or you were on vacation? Could you please put me back on your list?
Thank you,
Rose D.
DanceTalk goes out every week. If you don’t get it, please visit the website’s: http://www.mjames.org/ronbess.html or to http://rhythmlounge.tv
Dear Ron,
I saw in your newsletter
Debbie Hopkins
Just a few physical benefits of dancing ( http://www.lidance.org/index.html)
Cardiovascular: Ballroom, Country and Latin dancing can raise the heart rate anywhere from 80 to 120 beats per minute. That is the equivalent of any strength training or aerobic program available today. Sustained in 2 minute bursts over a 45 minute period, this will
build not only your heart’s strength, but it’s endurance, too.
Muscle Tone: Ballroom, Country and Latin dancing, when done at an intermediate to advanced level of technique, use the perfect blend of isometric and isotonic resistance, the two key ingredients to muscle building and toning. The blend and use of the muscles
is perfect for building beautiful tone without building a lot of muscle mass, a big concern for women in particular.
Joints: According to the American Journal of Medicine, the best way to avoid arthritis and remedy current joint discomfort is to continue to use the joints in a controlled manner. The rise and fall of Waltz answers to this beautifully.
Spinal Column: The frame or posture maintained in dancing places the spine in a natural and correct position, even more correct than when standing or sitting naturally! That also puts all your organs in alignment, which is now thought by many doctors and chiropractors to fight sickness, disease, fatigue and more.
Respiratory: Many track greats know that a strong set of lungs get plenty of oxygen, which makes the heart work easier, which in turn allows us to dance and have fun longer! That’s why sprinters run a lot of “wind” sprints: brief bursts to up the heart rate quickly, then bringing it down and doing this repeatedly. This is similar to the effect on the heart in dancing.
