Happy New Year 2009!

I'd like to wish everyone a Very Happy, Healthy and Safe New Year!  A group of us from Arthur Murray rang in the New year in style at the Presidential in East Norriton.  Everyone had a great time.  Photos can be found here. 

 

After serious & cautious consideration . . .
Your contract of friendship has been renewed for the New Year 2009!
It was a very hard decision to make. So try not to screw it up!!!
My Wish for You in 2009!
May peace break into your house and may thieves come to steal your debts. May the pockets of your jeans become a magnet of $100 bills. May love stick to your face like Vaseline and may laughter assault your lips! May your clothes smell of success like smoking tires and may happiness slap you across the face and may your tears be that of joy. May the problems you had forget your home address! In simple words . . . May 2009 be the best year of your life!!!

Arte Phillips
 
Theatrical Dance Champion, Instructor,
Performer & Choreographer


His boundless energy, delightful demeanor, and unbridled passion for dance stands above all.  Arte would be the first to social dance at any event, and always the last to leave.  Everyone has danced with Arte simply because he was so gracious to personally ask.  A man of such talent, wisdom and art has touched us all through his expression in dance. 

He must know how much he was loved by us all, and what a difference his presence made in the world and out dancing with us.  He is an absolute icon, and has left his stamp to say the least.  We are all deeply saddened by his loss, but comforted by our memories that live forever.

I am one of those fortunate souls that knew Arte personally, enjoyed him as a roommate at dance events, and loved every minute of tearing up the dance floor with him.  One of my fondest memories of Arte was asking him to do Strictly Swing with me at Mad Jam with only a minute notice before going on the floor.  He said, "Do I have time to put on my dance shoes and go change my hat?".  I said no.  He said, "Ok.  Let's do it!" and off we went to place 2nd. 

Some people choose to rise to the occasion by living their lives to the fullest, and imprint others along the way with their greatness. Arte Phillips is a one-and-only, never-to-be-forgotten soul.
