TO EVERYONE WHO DANCED WITH LAMBDA DANCESPORT DC
ON SUNDAY, JUNE 14TH AT THE CAPITAL PRIDE ARTS CORNER STAGE!

This year (unlike in years past, regrettably) we had a great showing of Swing, Foxtrot and Latin dancers who joined us. It was great fun and we hope to do it all again next year, so please keep that in mind.
PLUS!
Marching in the Capital Pride Parade carrying the Team DC promotional banner for Gay Games Washington DC, 2014 was an absolute stitch. One of the most fun gigs that I've personlly had all year.

The Capital Pride Arts Stage line-up included:
1:00PM - 1:20PM: Performance by Washington's LGBT Swing band, DC Swing (accompanied by volunteering dancers from the crowd and Lambda DanceSport DC).

1:20PM - 1:40PM: "Learn and dance the social Ballroom & Latin dances at the Capital Pride Arts Corner Stage on Sunday, June 14th with Terry Chasteen and Lambda DanceSport DC. Dances will include Foxtrot, Waltz, Salsa & Merengue, Cha Cha and/or Rumba" (Lambda DanceSport DC is an affiliate of Team DC). Visit www.LambdaDanceSportDC.org for details.

YOU NEED NOT COME WITH A PARTNER OR HAVE ANY PREVIOUS DANCE EXPERIENCE TO JOIN US FOR ANY OF OUR EVENTS. WE'LL BE TEACHING THE DANCES AND CHANGING PARTNERS THROUGHOUT.

Team DC Schedule of June through August Events

June 13 was the Capital Pride Parade on Saturday, beginning at 6:00 PM (or rather 7:30PM!). Team DC had a walking contingent that carried the HUGE 20' banner promoting Gay Games FREEDOM 2014 and our Bid to host Gay Games IX. This was a really big sign, got tons of enthsiasm from the crowd and it was an absolute stitch to be a part of it. It was one of the most fun gigs that I, personally have had all year. If you have never walked in the Parade, it is lots of fun so think about it for next year.

June 14 was the Capital Pride Festival on Sunday, we distributed any leftover cards at the Team DC booth located with the other sport clubs and right beside the Nationals booth. We also sold tickets for the Night OUT at the Nationals game on July 20! We will also be using the Night OUT to promote the Rally and our Games Bid, so the more the merrier. Many of us also danced with Lambda DanceSPORT at the DC Swing concert and the Artes Corner Stage.

Volunteers for two VERY important
Gay Games Washington DC, 2014
bid committee events

Both on August 10th, 2009 - DanceSport Venue Site inspection at the DC Convention Center for the 2014
Site Selection Committee of the Federation of Gay Games PLUS! the Stead Field Bid Rally behind JR's.

(1) The Site Selection Committee from the Federation of Gay Games will be in DC from August 7-11, 2009. This will be one of the most important moments in our Bid to host the 2014 Gay Games. A tour of each of the Venues proposed to be used during the Games and this is where we desperately need your help.
The reason the Site Visit is sooooooooo critical is that many members of the FGG Board will simply not read the entire Bid Document from the three cities. They will focus on their specific sport or interest as these Bid Books are all in excess of 250 pages each. The report from the Site Selection Team will be one of the most influential parts of the Voting Process, so we cannot overstate the importance of this visit and your participation in helping us make a good impression.

A draft schedule is set for each sport or cultural event venue. In addition to inspecting the venue itself, the Inspection Team will look at locker room and restroom facilities, ask specific questions about each event and how it will be run, discuss the capacity of our Team DC committee to run an event of this size and scope, and who knows what else???

The Site Selection Team consists of three people. The first is a long-term FGG Board Member, a veteran of 5 Gay Games, and been the director of Martial Arts for several previous Games. The second is the former Co-Chair of Chicago Games, Inc. Board which produced GGVII. The third is the former director of the New York Gay Games in 1994. These people will know what to look for and which questions to ask. We will need to be on our toes!

Our DanceSport inspection will be at 9:30am on Monday morning, August 10th, 2009 at the Washington DC Convention Center (the morning of the same day as the rally at Stead Field).

We would like the various sport clubs and enthusiasts to participate. When the committee pulls up in the van, we would love to have them greeted by 10-20 (or more!) people who play that sport or who are interested in that sport as spectators, etc to demonstrate the breadth and depth of support for the Gay Games in DC. This also includes those interested in C/W dance because that too may very well be held in the Convention Center, but wherever it might be held, none of this will come to pass if we don't show our enthusiasm and prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that DC will support this historic event to the nines.

Many thanks to all of you who can be a part of this exciting endeavor. It will change our community, it will change our city, and it will change each one of us.....all for the better. Please put this date, Monday August 10th on your calendar and tell your friends who might participate. If there’s any way that you can attend during this inconvenient time of a work day, your support would be incredibly appreciated.

GRACIAS!

~ Terry Chasteen

(2) Monday, August 10 at 7:30PM - the Bid Rally for Gay Games Washington DC, 2014 will be at 7:30 PM. It will be at Stead Field (17th and P Streets, NW behind JR's) where we will have a free screening of Hairspray, lots of giveaways, and a fantastic Rally for our Bid. Please start to promote this event to all of your friends, family, co-workers, neighbors, teammates, grandparents, in-laws, etc. This weekend's enthusiasm will do more than ANYTHING to influence the Gay Games bidding committee. And we definitely da wish to influence them so the 2014 Games will come to DC!

(3) July 20 - Night OUT at the Nationals sponsored by Team DC. Order your Night OUT at the Nationals tickets online at www.TeamDC.org . DC had the largest contingent of LGBT sports fans at any major sporting event in all of America last year. So let's break that record once more. It certainly won't hurt the opinion that our Gay Games selection committee members might get of us when it comes to everyone in DC showing our support.

. Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take,
but rather by the places and moments that take your breath away...
(....like when you're dancing 150 mile-an-hour Jive, Salsa, Viennese Waltz or Quickstep!!!...
Now THAT'LL take your breath away!!)

. "We're fools whether we dance or not, so we might as well dance" ~ Japanese proverb

. Make "I can" an integral part of your vocabulary. Whenever you're tempted to say
"I can't," stop, take a deep breath, and imagine what would happen if you gave
it your all.

. To have a passion that brings Joy to one's life and to fail sharing that gift with others is
a direct insult to the God who gave it...(regardless of whichever God that might be...).

. Courage is being afraid to do something, but making the decision to do it, anyway...
(For some people, it takes 'Courage'.....to DANCE!!)

A gift of dance is a gift that will last a lifetime...
and one that gives again and again, every time the music starts to play...

mini-dance competitions, plus
practice & PLENTY of social dancing...

Lambda DanceSport International, along with Lambda DanceSport DC and the Chevy Chase Ballroom will hold fund-raising events in conjunction with the Chevy Chase Ballroom by using previously scheduled Dance-&-Learn Parties as a means to benefit the designated charitable organizations and non-profits of choice for each of those attending. This may include Team DC member organizatins, the Mautner Project, Whitman-Walker Clinic & LSP, LGBT supportive churches, The DC Center, Equality Maryland, HRC and more. 50% of the admission fees of each participant will be donated for those who send an RSVP in advance to TerryChasteen@PleaseDanceWithMe.com and TerryChasteen@yahoo.com (to help counteract the possible spam filtering of new addresses). The RSVP's will help determine the amount of food ( including Terry's infamous apple pie right from the oven... with ice cream!) as well as indicate where the donated funds should be sent. Those who RSVP will receive an email confirmation to bring to the event which should include the organization or non-profit to whom the funds will then be donated.
Even if you cannot attend, notifying others from your organization, friends, family members, etc may benefit your cause. We have room for from 150 to 200 dancers, so there will be PLENTY of dance space!
RSVP at both TerryChasteen@PleaseDanceWithMe.com and TerryChasteen@yahoo.com to receive the $2.00 discount at the door from the $12.00 admission ($10.00 for students with full-time ID). Then by bringing a copy of the email RSVP confirmation, which will be sent back to you, your chosen LGBT organization will receive 50% of your admission fees plus 100% of any additional donations to that organization by those attending.
Mini-dance classes in many of the Ballroom, Latin, Salsa & Rueda, Swing, C/W, Argentine Tango and more for beginners will start at 7:00pm, so do not be concerned if you're not yet dancing the social partnership dances. You will definitely be dancing them by the time you leave. We may also hold "So You Think You Can Dance DC", "Dancing with the DC Stars" and "Dancing With The AC/DC Stars"competitions in many of the social dances as time permits, plus beginner's milonga and mini-classes in Argentine Tango at 9:00pm in the second studio. General dancing and practice in all of the social dances of Ballroom, Latin, Salsa & Rueda, Swing, Disco/Hustle, Brazilian Samba, Country/Western and more will continue throughout the evening in the main Ballroom until 11:30pm (after which the truly hard core dancers will go 2-stepping 'til dawn at Remington's on Capital Hill...and you're welcome to join us!).
During the evening we may also play some Hip Hop by request, including Mary J Blige, Usher and more for those who care to dance to R&B music. We may even learn some of the Fatima Robinson Hip Hop moves to Nelly's "Hot In Here" and definitely a segment of "Michael Jackson's Thriller" for those who DARE to even try it...after all, Halloween is not that far away...(Visit www.MichaelJacksonsThriller.com for details...). We may also be honored with a dress rehearsal of Michael Jackson's Thriller by a team of local high school quinceanada dancers from Maryland.
Snacks and refreshments will be available as always (including our well-loved apple pie right from the oven with ice cream). No previous dance experience or dance partner are necessary as all who attend are always beginners in one dance or another and partners will switch throughout the event. Also possibly included will be demonstrations in the dances being taught plus performances by local dance couples and dance teams, a possible Salsa & Rueda or C/W performance and a possible knock-out Brazilian Samba Show in costume by authentic Brazilian Danielle Areco of www.BrazilLatino.com.
So please plan to join us to aid in the assistance of the charitable organization of your choice by in the LGBT community by contacting your supporters and encouraging them to RSVP in adavnce to dance Out On The Dance Floor!! for your favorite organization during upcoming Dance-&-Learn Parties or by contacting your members and supporters to attend. Our goal, besides the fund-raising objective is to get more and more of the LGBT community off of the couch and Out On The Dance Floor!!.

Terry
