*** Now here is something really different for the
most adventurous, among us:

Gemini & Scorpio Present:
A Steamy Dance Party at the Russian Baths in Brooklyn

Saturday, Dec 19, 7pm-2am, 21+
At Banya, 602 Coney Island Ave
between Beverley Rd & Ave C, Brooklyn NY
Details and tickets: http://www.geminiandscorpio.com/events.html

ZU list special: two regular tickets for $90 -- $45 ea
(instead of $50) -- with password "welcomeback"

Break out your bikini or swim trunks and join us and our
hand-picked crowd of artsy, different, funky New Yorkers for
the glorious return of Gemini & Scorpio's legendary Russian
Baths party. We will have the newly remodeled & sparkling
clean baths to ourselves, with every steam room and sauna
ready to please, plus a few hand-picked professionals on
hand for the optional platzas and massages.

Inside, Zlatne Uste, a 10-member Balkan brass band, best known
for throwing the Golden Fest, NYC's biggest Balkan party (now in
its 25th year), will get you sweating faster than the saunas,
playing two sets, at 10pm and 12am. Our longtime favorite
DJ Joro-Boro, former resident DJ of the infamous Mehanata
(Bulgarian Bar), keeps the dance floor sizzling with his
hot EthnoMesh Megalophonia mix while we dole out pierogies
for everyone. Tarot mistress Courtney Weber reads your fortunes. Plus, enjoy:
jacuzzi and cold plunge pool; poolside dance floor;
rooftop smoking deck; hookah lounge, poker and chillout rooms;
authentic and delicious Russian food in a private restaurant
room. There will be an open vodka bar 10-11pm.

Three ticket levels: $85 (7pm entry + open vodka bar +
multi-course Russian banquet) /$50 (9pm entry + open vodka bar)
& $35 (11pm entry). More details on each ticket tier are on
our website. Only 100 tix on presale -- 50 more at door --
event tends to sell out in advance.

This is the kind of party you always imagine, but can never
quite find in real life ... and the only one where you'll
come out cleaner than when you came in.

*** Hello Dancers,

Can't believe the overwhelming response we have received
so far, in response to this call for your input !!!

Also, Thank You for the many words of encouragement,
that we have received over the weekend !!!

So far, we have accumulated over a dozen listings of
establishments that offer dinner & dancing to their
customers. It should take us a few weeks to visit most
of these establishments and to write our reviews,
whereupon we will publish the list to our Long Island
Dance Connection web site www.lidance. org

As stated in our prior mailing, we are in the process of
compiling a list of Restaurants and Lounges on Long Island,
that offer dinner and dancing to their customers. Places where
a couple can enjoy a good meal and then have a drink and enjoy
dancing to good danceable live or DJ music.

All suggestions are welcome, and please include the name and
address of the establishment, along with a brief review of
your recent experience there.

Again, Thank You for your input,
George "Cody" Morse

Ballroom Dancers Waltz to Healthier Hearts
An article by by Allison Aubrey, courtesy of Yang Chen (NYUSABDA):

For those who love it, ballroom dancing beats a dull workout on the
treadmill. And now, cardiologists are also realizing just how powerful
the dance workouts can be.

Italian researchers have found that just 21 minutes of dancing, three
times a week, can match the cardiovascular benefits from working out
on a treadmill or bicycle.

Instructor Chris Thompson says ballroom dance techniques work because
they automatically emphasize good health.

"It's not only aerobic, it's [also] isometric," he says. "One of the
most important things we stress is posture, posture, posture."

Thompson says the movement -- which helps the arms, legs and torso --
is also an instant stress reliever.

"You cannot maintain a clench when your shoulders are pressed down,"
he says. "Your arms are extended so it's a very freeing [and] open
feeling. It makes you breath a little deeper and it gets the blood
flowing."

The study finding is music to the ears of 61-year-old ballroom fanatic
Bob Silva.

"I don't like to exercise," he says. "I hate it. But if I'm dancing, I
don't care how tired I am. When I hear the music and see the women, I
can just push myself and it feels wonderful."

After two years of dancing at the Dance Factory in Arlington, Va.,
Silva realized that his hobby was also improving his health. He lost
weight that he wasn't able to lose before, and was able to cut his
blood pressure medications in half.

One of Silva's younger dance partners, Anne Marie Lund, also found
that dancing improved her once-sedentary lifestyle.

"I didn't have any physical endurance," she says. "I could barely make
it though one song. And if I couldn't, I'd apologize to my partner and
sit down and wait until I could get up again."

Lund says the dance studio has almost become her second home. It's
that much fun, she says.

"I can't believe I fell into this just by accident," says Lund. "It's
changed my life. That's a big statement. I was heading towards a lot
of weight-related health problems, and I've turned that around."

Not everyone who tries ballroom dancing falls in love with it. But
those who do find that exercise becomes a form of play.

******************************************************************
Wishing You All a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays
and a Happy & Healthy New Year 2007 !

... and looking forward to seeing you all on the dance floor ...
Keep those tootsies happy . . . DANCE, DANCE, DANCE !
