Oscar-nominated Heath Ledger
1979 - 2008
So many of us are truly devastated by this incredible loss. Never before have two actors on their way to the top of their game accepted the challenges and potential repercussions of playing gay characters in such honest and revealing roles as Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhall did in 'Brokeback Mountain'. And in in the process never before have two actors been so incredibly successful in portraying the true plight that so many in the LGBT community have endured throughout their lives, while bringing that plight to the awareness of mainstream America in such a uniquely beautiful and touching love story. The talents of this gifted actor through this classic motion picture performance and others will continue to be remembered and missed by us all.
During the January 28th, 2008 SAG Awards ceremony, the amazingly gracious, talented and selfless Best Actor winner Daniel Day-Lewis (for 'There Will Be Blood') unexpectedly dedicated his award to Heath Ledger, noting that "His performance in 'Brokeback Mountain' was perfect". Day-Lewis later noted that while he had never actually met Ledger, his death was all that he could think about for the past few days. His dedication speech can be viewed below.

Join us on April 26th Out On The Dance Floor!!
Our next Chevy Chase Ballroom Dance Party Spring Showcase event is scheduled for Saturday, April 26th. As a studio Showcase, this dance will not include the unlimited beginner mini-classes throughout the night as in our usual 4th Saturday of the month Dance-&-Learn Parties, though there will be three 20-minute mini-classes each for beginners, during the first hour in Ballroom, Latin & Swing from 7:30pm-8:30pm. Instead we will present numerous student amateur and pro/am performances, including both amateur and pro/am performances by "The Dancing Kids' Network" as well as a three-dance medley in International Latin by Russian and US Champions, Sergey Vasilyev and Lemerie Rollins, a performance by our resident Sunday evening Salsa Rueda teachers and performance team, SAOCO DC and other amateur and pro/am performers by show time. Don't miss this non-stop, semi-annual event, which in addition to the above will include refreshments and PLENTY of general dancing and practice in all of the social dances throughout the evening between 8:30pm and finally ending at 11:30pm. For those wishing to contribute, "The Dancing Kids' Network" will also be passing the hat during the evening, in addition to a possible donation by the studio as a fundraiser for the much less fortunate orphan children of Darfour.
Everyone who is interested, may learn "Michael Jackson's Thriller" for future Voice Of America TV. We would like as many dancers as same-gender couples during the photo shoots and tapings as possible
Out On The Dance Floor!!

Lambda DanceSPORT DC is a charitable and educational organization with the purpose of promoting the training and expertise in DanceSport for same-gender and mixed-gender couples in both social and competetive Ballroom, Latin, Country/Western, Swing, Salsa & Rueda, Disco/Hustle, the authentic Brazilian dances and more in the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender (LGBT) and LGBT-Friendly communities. Lambda DanceSPORT DC is an affilliate member of the DC Council of Sports (Team DC).

Please be aware that over 70% of those competing in the Gay Games and World OutGames DanceSport events are beginners. Consequently there are plenty of competetive opportunities for all levels in DanceSport for those without previous dance training and experience. Dependable and devoted partners will eventually be found for each potential competitor during the classes and training process (the undependable ones rarely train or come to class...).
