On July 26 - 2012 - The Mather Lifeways Center located at 3235 Central Ave - Chicago, Il 60634 - held a delightful concert for Seniors and everybody who appreciates the multitalented performers.
The talented performers do a variety of pieces - from Broadway hits and other famous venues. The audience enjoyed every piece - so the soloist performers do show a lot of enthusiasm - however the lady who accompanies on the piano needs to be complemented on her mastery of the instrument. She knows how to make the piano stand out - but never upstages the performers. It's a very hard task to accomplish.
All the tunes were done well - but "Mack the Knife" eternal hit sounded extra good. All the veteran performers seem to have a great time - performing. It has to do with lack of pressure to become a "super star" in their advanced respective ages.
Another good thing about this group is that the they involve the audience to participate in their acts - they seem to be more successful in their involving the audiences than other ansembles. Again - in an advanced age - the lack of pressure for stardom equals - great, relaxed performances.
In a nutshell - the show flows and the smiles on the faces of the audience - are contagious.The lady singing the steady hit - "Can't Help Loving this Man of Mine" - has a magnificent mezzo voice. The whole group collectively shows tons of talent.

Chicago has a sensational tea dance in a local studio.
La Classique School of Dance - a nicely designed dance studio located on 4146 N Elston Ave - Chicago, Il. 60618 - phone 773-588-0806 - holds a successful Tea Dance every Tuesday afternoon. The entrance to the lovely studio - is marked on Hamline Ave - so if you look for that address on N. Elston - you will never find it. I speak with the voice of experience.
Tea Dancing session - happens every Tuesday from 1-4pm. The entrance fee is only $10.00 and that includes the lesson from 2:30 till 3 pm - also that entrance fee includes the delicious refreshments.
The studio owner - Dank Kanosak - an international champion in Ballroom Dancing - from Malasia - offers group classes every day of the week.

In the interim - Tuesdays afternoons - is a lot of fun at Dank's studio. Some Tuesdays lots of youngsters show up - while at times - local dance teachers - "fish" some - for private students - however - in general - everybody dances well, has a lot of fun and thus - a relaxed atmosphere - prevails in the studio.
The beginners can practice - some more advanced moves - while the more accomplished dancers have an opportunity to show off - a bit.
One way or another - it's a lot of fun. See you at the studio - Tuesday afternoons!!!

Important Note - The La Classique studio owner - Dank Kanosak - sublet that studio - from the impressively designed - spacious Latvian Community Center - at the heart of Chicago's - Rogers Park - for quite a few years. Unfortunately - Dank Kanosak - an international ballroom dancing - teacher/champion - from Malasia - passed away - suddenly - at the beginning of 2021 - he was only 60 years old. Now - he is dancing in heaven!
