Dance is alive and well in Murray Hill....whether it is from the Astaire Studios or the Tapas Bar on Second Avenue, "Casaville," which has decided to add Flamenco to its menu...
Pertaining to the Astaire Dance Studios, one of my friends joked, "Who gets the royalties?" HA--nothing is ever a joke these days when it comes to royalties or copyright if somebody really gets steamed...for instance, after running out Italian topics to parody/distort in his own unique way, the Director Federico Fellini did a film called "Fred and Ginger," about the TV show of a superannuated dance duo who just won't quit even though they should have long ago...he meant it to be a satire on television and culture...HOWEVER, Ginger Rogers was still alive at the time and INDIGNANT and sued the pants off Fellini. Moral: Watch out for Ginger Rogers and never assume anyone is safely dead until proven so.
