Supa Star!
“Super Star” and her “Bling” take over the Friday Night Dance at Agape and everyone has a blast!
Friday, July 23, 2010, we had a fantastic evening at Agape! We were visited by local “Super Star,” Ann Marie Donegan, and her posse of “Bling.” (as in smaller points of light!) The thing about Ann Mari’s posse of “Bling” is that it seems to include most of the Central Pa Ballroom Dance community.
I think we celebrated the birthdays of Ann Marie, Kirby Smith, and Kitty Verzi, there may have been a few anniversaries, as well!
Ann Marie used her powers of persuasion to bring Studio 5 Productions down from the Great North to DJ for her Birthday Gig!!! Her main Courtier, Sally Deitz, filled a large cooler full of liquid refreshments so that we could all stand the heat form being so amazingly close to our beloved “Super Star.” It should be noted that there is a certain cadence for uttering the words “Super Star.” It’s kind of like Rumba but with the energy of Cha Cha. It’s a “quick, quick, SLOOOOOOOOW.” “Super Star” is 3 syllables…so, properly pronounced its “Sue-Pa-Star,” said with a “quick, quick, slow” timing – emphasizing “Star!” Now, if you’re really going to utter these words in the true Character of their essence, then, you also need to LUNGE straight forward, throwing both hands up as if you’re creating a set of goal posts, and utter “The Words of Tribute”….”Sue-Pa- STAAAAAARRRRRRRRR!!!” Are you feeling me?!
The party brought Ken Crone out to help keep the ladies happy, Sally Meints and George Winchell, who provided the week 3 of 4 lessons on Salsa, stayed around and celebrated with some of their old and new found friends. Cindy and Rick brought a banner so we could all be reminded of the “Super Star” with us for the evening.
…I imagine that I have forgotten a few other contributors like Kenna Rotz and Sharon Swank who get stuck with door duty and Joe Jason who brought the most amazing White Pizza!!!
…And to top it all off, the newspaper, who interviewed Kenna and Steve Rotz that morning regarding the National Dance Day to be celebrated Saturday, July 31, came and took pictures for an article to run in the paper Friday the 30th about the Fund Raising Event for a Youth Program to be started a the York USA Dance Chapter!!!
…And we set a record for atten”dance” at a Friday Function!!!
…The Final And…..Thanks to all who are the “Bling” for making Agape a Place for Community and a hangout for “Sue-Pa-StarrrrrrrS!!!”

The Soopaahstaah and a few of her entourage came to the Promenade last Sunday and I had a good time dancing with them. So, to reciprocate, I’m bringing a date to Agape this Saturday. Do I need advance reservations?

It was the best night yet at Agape. Ann Marie you are loved and you are our favorite Supasta.
Notice I don’t put an s on the end. She doesn’t say it…..besides, it looks like pasta and that makes you think of Ann Marie. What a crazy circle.
