About Goran Nordin

Mr. Nordin is a recognized Latin dance professional, is a British National Professional Champion and a UK Closed Professional Champion in dance. Apart from being a Latin dance professional, Goran is a designer and dressmaker, producing garments of the highest quality under his own brand Nordin Couture.

“We are very excited to have someone of Goran’s stature in the ballroom dance community to make a stop-over in Dayton as well as visit Always Ballroom to provide a very special Samba class in addition to a limited number of individual coaching sessions,” shared Always Ballroom owner Elizabeth Apesos.

Dance studios like Always Ballroom are busier than ever since the explosion of ABC television’s “Dancing with the Stars” has motivated many to jump off the couch and begin to learn how to dance. Students find that after just a few months of basic instruction they are able to accomplish fundamental dance moves while instructors continue to encourage them to build the strength of their technique.

Mrs. Apesos, an accomplished ballroom and Latin dance competitor in her own right, found Goran’s interest in visiting Always Ballroom a very important event. “This really is a special opportunity for dance instructors and students in the Miami Valley to participate and learn Samba moves from a true dance Champion, known the world over,” said Apesos.

Save the Date

Goran Nordin will be visiting Always Ballroom located at 552 Wilmington Ave. in Dayton, Ohio on April 18, 2013 where he will be instructing a Master Samba Class. Current students of Always Ballroom can attend this very special opportunity for just $20; with non-students and visitors to pay $25.

Those seeking individual or small group coaching sessions from Mr. Nordin set their appointments by April 15th. Call 937-256-2626 to RSVP for the Samba Class or to schedule your coaching session.

“This theatre is one of the largest and most sought-after theatre venues in Los Angeles and I am thrilled to perform this show about humanity in the City of Angels,” Huynh says.

“USC Dropout” has a clear message: education is a lifelong endeavor, not just a degree. And, despite the show’s title, Huynh completely supports higher education; he merely views it as a slice of education – not the whole pie.

This solo show is written, produced and performed by Huynh and combines comedy, drama and dance. It focuses on the myriad of paths that life provides.

“Where those paths lead, and which paths are taken are left to the individual; that’s the beauty of life,” Huynh says. “The theme and profundity of ‘USC Dropout’ will relate to all walks of life – anyone who is interested in social issues.”

The warehouse-like space provided at the Elephant Stages’ Lillian Theater includes a 20-foot, wood-beamed ceiling; and beautifully exposed brick walls – the ideal venue for Huynh to demonstrate his rich talents.

“My life changed forever when I moved to Los Angeles, and I thank USC for the seamless transition. The vast array of assorted characters allowed me to thrive and discover my rhythm – spiritually and creatively,” he says.

Tickets to the show are $10 at the door and may also be purchased at a discounted rate on the website: http://www.mokyartistry.com/ .

About Moky Huynh:
Huynh was born in Vietnam. He moved to the United States with his family when he was six-months old. Raised in Seattle, he relocated to California where he attended USC. While there, he studied filmmaking, but his passion for live performance could not be quelled. Solo artists such as Bill Cosby, Richard Pryor, George Carlin and Whoopi Goldberg all inspired him. As a result, once he learned the basics of filmmaking, he left school to pursue live performance and filmmaking.

With only one semester left to complete, his drive to perform in the “real world,” was just too strong. “USC Dropout” is a result of this passion. He has performed in Seattle and San Francisco; this will be his debut performance in Los Angeles.

“She is not dancing for the festival as much as dancing for the lions. An African proverb says, if the lions can’t tell their stories, the hunters will. And we have lots of lions,” Salvation Army Major Eric Lo said.

“Lisa needs your vote. Just click on: www.oxnardsalsafestival.com/Lisa_Guerrero.aspx .”

Here are some lions:

Donald lived inside a trash can in the Kmart parking lot. Started as a run-away kid from home 35 years ago, he had been homeless and in-and-out of jail. He came to The Salvation Army Oxnard free medical /dental clinic 6 years ago. Now he owns a maintenance company, conducts weekly Bible Study and recovery groups.

Maria had left her two little boys in Mexico to look for a better life but ended up in prostitution in LA. Three years ago, she came to The Salvation Army Oxnard for food and clothing. Her husband came for help also a year later. Now she owns a house cleaning business, and her husband owns a mobile car wash. Human trafficking and poverty are not hunting them anymore.

Lo says “Let’s get to work to help the lions tell their stories before the hunters tell theirs. Just one simple vote for Lisa on http://www.oxnardsalsafestival.com/Lisa_Guerrero.aspx , and click the cartoon button will do it.”

David Bowie’s 20×200-exclusive edition is an archival print from a lithograph of his wife (and Design on a Dime co-chair), fashion icon Iman. Bowie is allowing the original to be reproduced only once to benefit Housing Works Design on a Dime, and will be featured for auction at the event (New York, May 5 – 7). The celebrity benefit print will be on display in the “dream boudoir” room vignette designed by Iman and style expert Robert Verdi for IMAN Home.

Bowie’s striking art print will then be sold on 20×200 for $800. All proceeds from the sale of the benefit editions at Design on a Dime and on 20×200 will fund Housing Works’ “Get A Room,” a program that provides housing for homeless and low-income New Yorkers living with and affected by HIV/AIDS.
