Fun Fact Fridays

Starting now, I'm instituting "Fun Fact Fridays," when I'll share one delicious yet useful fact about showbiz in New York per Friday.

This week's tidbit: Work Study Program at Broadway Dance Center (BDC). Whether you're wanting to learn how to dance or sing, or you're an old hat at both, BDC is an amazing place to study. With the help of the Work Study Program, lifelong learners (young and old) can work two to four hours a week in exchange for $5 dance classes (usually dance class at BDC is $18 per class!).

The program is easy to access, just walk into 322 W 45th (you can't miss it, we're between a gentleman's club and a hostel... in true New York fashion) and request an application. Who knows, I might be the one calling you to set up orientation interviews!

You really can't go wrong with this program or the Broadway Dance Center people. No snooty-ness or hyper-competitiveness here. Everyone - from the dancers behind the front desk to the customers in the lobby and studios - is genuinely happy to be there and to be learning. I can't imagine a New York performing life without BDC!!

Special shout outs this week to my girls Camille and Sharon, who keep me in touch with my inner soul sister, and Joe and Scott, who keep me smiling all night long during the Friday night front desk shift at BDC.

All my love,
