    Hello to all the numerous fans of this website, welcome to the first feature in 2014!!!

    The short review of the New Year's Eve Party 2013/2014 - in a nutshell - it was good. The small but well established ballroom studio in Monroeville, Pa - the suburb of Pittsburgh, Pa - held a lively and fun - New Year's Eve Party on Tues. Dec.31 - 2013. The good feature of the event - much appreciated by all of us who don't like to "flush" the proverbial, hard earned funds - down the toilet - was the reasonable price of the ticket in addition to bringing a dish to share.
   The studio provided champagne toast at midnight, terrific ballroom dance music system plus the selection in addition to the dishes and the kitchen to fix the snacks. Even though their New Year's Eve party favors were skimpy - the studio owner - Mickey - dressed sharp and was a gracious host - notwitstanding his advanced age and him - recovering from a recent surgery.
   The variety of people present made an interesting ingredient in making of a cool New Year's Eve evening. It turned out that the life of the party became an older lady - dressed "to kill" in a seductive manner with her dancing style in the same mode - a good dancer - nevertheless whose beautiful daughter and a shy son-in-law - somehow did not mix in as well as the older lady but they seem to enjoy themselves. Still - the older lady - kept all the best male dancers present - happy since they could make comments about her "free" dancing style to their younger, and more attractive partners. The older "superstar" for the evening continued to "dazzle" as she belted out "Felice Navidad" in a surprizingly pleasant voice. Not boasting or anything - but I had to help her with the Spanish lyrics since I know five languages very well.
    The best thing - though - about this New Year's Eve party of 2013/2014 - was that I - unexpectedly reconnected with a couple of old friends, great ballroom dancers whom I have not seen for a few years.

    Keep dancing ballroom in 2014 - everybody so the New Year 2014 will be great for all of us!!!
