SWAY …


TumblrSWAYtumblr_ngdsqziIsq1te8hhso3_250SWAY: A dance Trilogy ends … 

Reports are that this Production was hot, even better than the first SWAY which was a hit that led to SWAY2.0 and definitely a show they would love to see come back, with some adjustments to the Meet & Greet.  The breakdown is that Tony …was beyond elegant, so smooth it brought back that classic club dance feeling with some skill sets that we just do not get to see that often when we watch Dancing With The Stars … We see you Tony.  What I heard: The man can dance lest we talk about those insane lifts of his SWAY dance partner and dwts’s beauty Sharna Burgess.  The group dances were fun, kitschy with a whole lot of amazing dancing and word is Henry, Serge & Artem have people wanting more.  Well, all the dancers impressed and like dwts Season16, Zendaya & Val’s SWAY did not disappoint. We all know dance has evolved, this couple added some of their own texture with some urban splashed on it … those that went said their dancing seemed better than last time and made folks want to move, maybe take some classes. Honestly, who doesn’t want to try to SWAY like these fabulous dancers, but the main chatter was about Maks and Meryl. Yes, many fans watched Maks & Meryl’s SWAY videos and thought omg did she just say she never danced in a theatre setting. Well, they did not disappoint either. I have to say, after watching their video’s from SWDOI (Shall We Dance On Ice) and their SWAY, we can all agree that it was once again magical, breath taking, beautiful and passionate, but seemed way too short. The fans loved seeing Meryl in her dwts costumes, yet there was a new flavor, or feeling to their dances unlike their time on dwts Season18 … was it more passion?  If they SWAY again, some hope to see them do a Paso, maybe some up-tempo stuff next time  … the word from those who were able to go  … amazing!

So, if you want SWAY 3.0 say so!   http://dancewithmeusa.com/sway/

Why We #StandWith​Peggy


A Better Balance The Work and Family Legal Center
We Stood with Peggy Young at the Supreme Court to Fight Pregnancy Discrimination
Rally at the Supreme Court in Support of Peggy Young
Dear friend,
Earlier this week, Peggy Young’s pregnancy discrimination case came before the Supreme Court. Peggy was forced off her job while pregnant, losing income and her health benefits in the process. Women should not have to choose between their jobs and the health of their pregnancies. We stood with Peggy inside the court room, at the rally on the steps outside of the Supreme Court and online. Thank you for taking the time to show your support, so many of you helped us to show solidarity with Peggy and all pregnant workers that #StandWithPeggy peaked at 2,300 tweets per hour on Wednesday!
ABB Co-President Dina Bakst was inside the court for the arguments. You can read her Op-Ed, Supreme Court Must Make Clear That Pregnancy Discrimination Is Unjust co-authored with MomsRising here.
The rally emceed by ABB’s Southern Office Director Elizabeth Gedmark was a complete success! More than 200 advocates and supporters came together for the event, enthusiastically chanting and carrying signs despite the wintery weather. Stories were shared of other pregnant workers, who were pushed out of their jobs, like ABB Client Officer Lyndi Trischler. You can read her story here.
ABB’s Senior Staff Attorney Phoebe Taubman was on To The Point with Warren Olney.  If you missed this informative radio program you can listen to it here.
Thank you for all of your support!
