Hair and Makeup Update
By: Chris Santarlas

Hi Gals!
Hair and Makeup Classes will be coming to an end this coming Saturday, October 17th, so sign up for the last class! Advanced Makeup will be held on Saturday, October 17th at 2:00pm. Please feel free to contact Chris Santarlas at 703-521-2992, or at girlsinger@hotmail.com if you have questions. So far, the classes have been alot of fun and have made alot of gals look really good! If you were at VSO, you witnessed the transformations first hand!

Although this particular series is concludes on the 17th, I'm planning to do another series, which will be announced in the next week or so. The classes will be Basic Hair, Advanced Hair and a Glam Makeup class. Prices will remain the same, and I will be providing a makeup kit (to be purchased) for the makeup class.

I would like to arrange classes so that college-going Lindy Hop Dolls will be able to attend the Basic Hair and Makeup class while at home for Turkey day, so send me the Thanksgiving break dates ASAP!

Finally, if you have had a hard time fitting any of these classes into your schedule, and are dying to learn the glam face and 'do, don't fret! I'm doing private sessions. Just give me a call and we'll set you up for an individual class. My schedule is relatively flexible, so just let me know what time works for you.

Thanks to everyone who has been participating in these classes!
See you on the dance floor!

Origin of the "Dean Collins" Style By: Charles Wyler cmwyler@erols.com

Hi guys,
I just read a comment forwarded by Kenny Roesel concerning the origin of the Dean Collins style whicn I first heard at the ASDC last year during the awarding of the Dean Collins award. The explanation of who Dean was and what he ment to dance was one of the most carefully worded political statements that I have ever heard, very diplomatic and as such I kind of took to be revisionist history. The man himself has long since passed and so we will never know the real how and why, and while some of his contemporaries are still alive I have heard them admit that they didn't like him much at all, so no help there. The idea that he sat down and figured out a lindy figure that would be easy to photograph for movies just dosen't ring true to me. First of all Lindy, any style, photographs quite nicely, thank you. It's West Coast that loses something in the translation.

I had a conversation with Jack Carey(winner of the 1949 Harvest Moon Ball) about West Coast and Collins style last year and his explanation was this " It all started when some girl went out backwards, the music was fast and she just went out backwards (facing back to the man on 5 )" Knowing how Americans dance and what we all do on the dance floor, ie. saving the good "mistakes" this seems to make the most sense to me. Shall we try to reconstruct the conversation?

Dean: hey, that was really cool
Jewel: huh?
Dean: that was really cool, that thing you did
Jewel:(playing dumb) what thing?
Dean: on 5, that thing on 5
Jewel: five?
Dean: Yeah, that thing on 5
Jewel:(rolling eyes) humph!
Dean:(urgently) When you WENT OUT backwards on 5.
Jewel: read my lips, I DON'T WANT TO GO OUT WITH YOU!!
Dean: that's not what I SAID! What I said was, I liked that you turned to face me on five, it was just what I've been looking for....
Jewel: I turned back to face you because I'm tired of the way you are always checking out my BUTT!!
Dean: (busted) I was not. I was checking out your swivels!
Jewel:(playing dumb no longer) I don't swivel on 5.
And so on....

Well, sorry for the humor but the whole thing ain't that serious. There were many styles of Lindy, as many as there were dancers. So pick one or two or three and enjoy. It ain't Strictly Ballroom. By the way if anyone out there has ever had a conversation with Dean Collins in which he alluded to sitting down with a stage director, lighting director and a paper and pencil to create his style let me know. I'd like to hear it.
