Hollywood Style Swing
(a.k.a. Dean Collins Style Swing or Smooth Style Swing) is a form of the Big Band Era Swing. This style of swing reproduces the movement, style and dance patterns of the Hollywood dancers who were filmed in movies during the 1940s. The fast footwork and smooth movements of this dance make it one of the more popular forms of swing dance today.
Brandy Anderson began swing dancing in 1993 in Santa Barbara, CA where he learned from the several local world class instructors such as Johnathan Bixby & Sylvia Sykes and Rob van Haaren. After graduating from UCSB in 1996, he moved to Vermont to attend graduate school at the University of Vermont. Starting with only 5 dance students in the Fall of 1996, Brandy's classes steadily grew. Currently, classes are often filled to capacity with upwards of 50 students per class. All classes are taught in a casual, fun and friendly atmosphere where the dance steps and fundamental techniques are presented in a thorough and concise manner.
Local Student Internship Program is Growing Statewide.
Linking Learning to Life, a Burlington based non-profit youth organization, announced that its successful student internship program is being expanded to new schools and communities across Vermont.

Since then students from three additional Chittenden County schools and dozens of other local employers came on board.
Linking Learning to Life (LLL) recently secured a ,000 grant from the Vermont Department of Labor to replicate the program in partnership with six additional workforce regions of the state. The goal this year is to place 132 high school students from 24 high schools into internship experiences with over 100 Vermont businesses.

Several recent fathers brought their new bundles of joy to meet Frank.... The conversation meanders from topics as burping, changing diapers, and feeding, to how the new baby may present challenges to mom and dad's time and relationship. ... The boot camp costs and includes two workshop sessions: one as an expectant father and one as a newly bestowed father. Frank says scholarships are available to those in need.
