Diversions


Dear Madonna,
I hear your new film, W.E., will have it's premier at the Toronto International Film Festival - and that you'll be coming to Toronto!  That's awesome!!

Listen, I know you'll be pretty busy with the Gala, meetings with distributors and media interviews or whatever, but if you want a bit of an escape from the paparazzi while you're here, let me tell you what we're doing.

DIVA ROAD TOUR!  - SEPTEMBER 11
A weekend away with my BFF Shelley - YAY! We're driving to Toledo, Ohio in her new "A Car" nto meet with Doug Rousar and talk about plans for the Spotlight Dance New Year's Eve Celebrations. Well, she's meeting with Doug and her co-emcee, Chris; I'm really just along for the ride. You could join us!

10th ANNIVERSARY PARTY - TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13
This is taking place during my weekly West Coast Swing dance party - preceded by classes, as usual - at the Dovercourt House. I'm commissioning a cake from our resident dancer-cum-pastry-chef, Jade (OMG you'll love it!) and marking the occasion with pictures and stories from when I first started teaching in September of 2001. We've come a long way, Baby!

ACROBAT NIGHT CLUB - FRIDAY, SEPETEMBER 16
Kathleen Campbell has invited me to teach a Beginner West Coast Swing lesson to the regular crowd of Salsa dancers, many of whom have been getting into Hustle.  We're staging a Flash Mob this month at the clube to create some interest - the same choreography as the one we did at the CN Tower. Did I send you that clip?


Anyway, there's always lots to do. Nick might even organize one of his Thursday night outings to the Bier Markt. It would be cool if Dione Taylor's band, Soular was playing. They do a great cover of "Express Yourself"; may-be they'd invite you up on stage to sing with them?
