Matter Life Ways Senior Concert - Super Dynamite.

      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 - Dan Kanosak - an International champion in Ballroom Dancing - offers group classes every day of the week. For more info - go to the website - http://www.laclassiqueschoolofdance.com/
    In the interim - Tuesday afternoon is a lot of fun at Dan'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 shows a relaxed attitude.
    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 afternoon!!!
