” He grabs a quick carrot stick then the first available woman and dives back in. Not even Jerry Lee Lewis’ “Great Balls of Fire” can slow Stuart’s gimp knee. Ah the power of dance. It’s featured weekly on the ABC show “Dancing With the Stars” which begins its third round of competition featuring professional dancers and entertainers Monday. The power of dance is felt daily throughout the Triangle. Here at the weekly Sunday night dance at the Elks Lodge in North Raleigh more than 200 people typically show up for swing dancing and the occasional ballroom or salsa interlude. Some are serious dancers like the trim woman in floral top and black skirt whose face projects a determination to execute each move perfectly.
Salchows and silliness at ‘Blades’ bash
USA Today – Mar 29, 2007
“It’s always great when the wardrobe becomes part of the joke but the worst part was this thing called a dance belt. Not fun — especially after eight hours. ” “The dance belt hides everything but it’s not a fun trip” concurred Ferrell’s on-screen skating partner John Heder (Napoleon Dynamite). But Saturday Night Live’s Amy Poehler who pairs up with real-life husband Will Arnett to play Ferrell and Heder’s skating adversaries offered little sympathy. “It’s to hold the gentleman jewels and for one time only these gentlemen got to know how difficult it is to be a lady” Poehler noted. Heder’s love interest is played by Jenna Fischer who was joined by a gaggle of her co-stars from NBC’s The ffice. Earlier that day the cast shot two different endings for their season finale which Fischer says involves something life changing for Michael (Steve Carell) and Jan (Melora Hardin)… Real-life skating lympians Dorothy Hamill Brian Boitano Scott Hamilton Sasha Cohen and Nancy Kerrigan all attended to promote their cameos in the film. Blades co-director Will Speck admitted the filmmakers momentarily considered offering a cameo to Tonya Harding the skater who pleaded guilty to hindering the investigation of a 1994 attack to Kerrigan’s knee but Speck ultimately concluded “She’s a little scary. ” Instead the movie takes some not-so-subtle jabs: Arnett pursues Ferrell with a steel pipe and Poehler threatens to break Ferrell’s leg “beneath the knee and above the ankle. “If you can’t make fun of Tonya Harding what are you going to do?” asked co-director Josh Gordon. Even so Kerrigan nixed a line that was to be directed at her by Ferrell’s character. “Wording was an issue for me because I was a victim back then and there’s nothing funny about getting attacked” admitted Kerrigan. “It doesn’t matter how long it’s been.
Making a play for broadband Broadway

uk”; Aleks Krotoski: Making a play for broadband Broadway |Technology |The Guardian. I think I’ve found the way to break through the geek stereotype that dogs the games industry… If the scores of Make Me A Musical SuperStar variety show TV programmes have affected me to the extent that I’ve laid down my indie girl NHS specs and my raver light sticks and picked up my tap shoes surely there is a massive potential market out there begging for a totally integrated fully interactive utterly camp computer game that deals with the staples of the West End show: cheesy love songs over-the-top kick lines and long flowing dresses. I promise you if I’ve been turned you can bet your bottom dollar there are thousands nay millions who’ll make this idea a hit. Unfortunately traditional musical fare doesn’t feature as many explosions as your average computer game (a new niche?) but the good news is that their plots are just as flimsy. Simply swap rocket launchers for romantic stories add some comic relief (preferably of the bawdy variety) and you’re dancing. You could have spin-offs like the management sim Musical Producer where players try to balance the egos of the cast control the vision of the director manage the crew and get funding from the Arts Council. r Rehearsal Boot Camp where budding young starlets who don’t quite make the grade can learn to sashay and sing.
