Dance

Just as Cheerleaders, Pep Band, and Athletes feed off each other and rev us up, Dance, Music, and Movies often revolve around each other in a similar fashion. Dance is a form of self expression to be judged by no one. So to all you guys who would not dance, that's all that need be said. Too bad you didn't know that fifty years ago but that's why June 27th has been set aside - a chance to redeem yourselves. If two rocks are pounded together one can dance. Dance is what is done on the way to a beat - simple!

Idolized by our age group, Annette and Frankie were as good as it gets. They danced, sang, and starred in movies.They played in five frothy, fun-in-the-sun films, probably the five worst movies with a common theme in the history of movies. The Beatles came to town in 1964 and they pretty much killed off the Beach Movie fans.

Annette left the room where she kept fan letters in April of 2012, letters numbering up to 8,000 a month while in her prime as a Mouseketeer. Announcing in 1992 that she had Multiple Sclerosis, her life played out over the next twenty hears. Frankie continues to perform.
