New Swing Sextet Has New Singer......

NSS_photo A new, suave voice in Orlando Ortiz (an ex Pittsuburgh Pirates baseball player from 1984 to 1986) was adopted by The New Swing Sextet (NSS) to hone his skills and to break comfortably into NSS's sweet sounds last night at TAJ Lounge, NYC. I told George Rodriguez: "This one's a keeper!" The guys of NSS seemed very pleased with him. Orlando's a 43 year old, born in Carolina, Puerto Rico. I asked him who his absolute favorite vocalist was and he immediately responded "Cheo Feliciano!" He continued to tell me that he remembers Cheo was the father of a childhood friend in Puerto Rico but at the time didn't know it. "I remember accidently breaking "una figurita" in my childhood friend's house and he (Cheo) was mad! To think, I didn't even know it was Cheo Feliciano at the time!", Orlando shared. "I have no formal training", Orlando continues, "but my mother is one of 14 sisters and in Puerto Rico, they all played guitar and sang. Singing is in me; in fact, I get anxious when I know I have to sing. I just love singing and exercising!", he shared, laughing. Orlando presently lives in Connecticut and is also the vocalist for Karibe Mambo, a band out of Connecticut (www.KaribeMambo.com) specializing in an Afro-Puerto Rican sound. "A la Cortijo?", I asked. "Yea! Bien Boricua" Orlando said.

Orlando sure did look (and sound!) comfortable and seemed to be having a ball singing for NSS last night. This vocalist was discovered by Angel (conga player and co-leader of NSS) at The Fonda Boricua and he loved his style, excitingly informing the rest of the band about this singer. Look out for him, y'all!! This Wednesday, NSS should be well on their way to Turkey to make people swing out there! "The first thing I am going to find out is where the gym is", said Orlando.

Greetings!

Yes, its no mistake.  We at the FDC would love to share our dance skills with you at our yearly event called Dancing In The Park (DITP).   

Each week, we will feature one different dance style, and every week, we will teach one class of
Casino Rueda at 6:30pm followed by Social Dancing for everyone at 7:30pm.  (I can't promise you will look like the people dancing in the you tube video this summer, but in time and a lot of practise, anything is possible). 

All classes will be at a beginner level only.  So, if you are looking for something to do on Friday evenings with your friends and family, this will be the place to be.  Please check our website for the full schedule;

(This is an email worth forwarding to all your friends)

Everyone is welcome, especially those of you who claim to have two left feet.  Lastly again, due to the low registrations, we have Cancel the Womens Dance Retreat 2009 this weekend.  We will have it again next year and it will be bigger and better (trust me). 

Have a great day, enjoy the great weather and see you all on the dance floor.
