LettersLettersLetters from... Dear All at DO40, Please excuse my tardiness in sending dues. Too busy working as usual! Cancel my London address, phone #’s, e-mail, etc. I will be based in France until further notice. Will be in Las Vegas in April for the opening of my show at MGM, “The Crazy Horse.” Hope all is well with you!
Hello, Dancers, My first job in NYC was as a “Roxyette.” And then musicals: the original “Pal Joey,” “Something for the Boys,” “One Touch of Venus," and operettas at Carnegie Hall and City Center U.S.O. shows. I worked with Zoya Leporska – can’t remember which operetta. She was a beautiful dancer. After WWII, I married and taught dance for 50 years (and retired at 80). Jeanne (Jones) Snow introduced me to DO40. I roomed and worked with her along with Jeanne (Coyne) Kelly, Gene Kelly’s wife. We’re planning a reunion in NYC, so would like to know when your next event is! Enclosed is my check for dues, and a donation for your next dance concert.
Ann Pimm spoke at the Annual DO40 Spring Fling on May 20th about Broadway, her friends (Jeanne Coyne and Zoya Leporska) and her 50 year dance career.

....MembersMembersMembers Dear Dancers Over 40… Dancers Over 40 affirmed my dancing years, 1943 – 1966 on Broadway, TV and ballet. “Dancers” is a tonic, a CPR for we who “once were.” Today I am 84, living in my home state of Indiana. Not much doing artistically except Indiana University, which boasts a reputable ballet department and an excellent music school. Once in a while, a Broadway show with an Equity cast comes to Bloomington! “The Producers” revved me up for a week! In 1950 & 1951 I did the Old Gold Dancing Cigarette Pack commercial on ABC on Bert Parks’ “Stop the Music.” So I am a tapper. The month of May will find me “mother of the groom,” so it is doubtful that I can be with you (for your spring events). I’m sending my dues without the form – don’t want to cut into the newsletter! If I have eyes to read, Dancers Over 40 will continue to be a pleasure. In addition, I’m hardly a whiz on the computer – but hope springs eternal.
Hi, All !!!! Sorry to be so late with my dues! Ballet for Young Audiences still keeps me busy. Do you have a bulletin board for casting notices? Recently I needed a mature dancer with combat skills for our new ballet (of) The Pirates! Ron Stratton – I remember you working with us some years ago! --xoxo
Dear Harriett, We sure do! Just check out our website and discussion board! And soon we’ll be in the casting business as well, thanks to founding member Frank Pietri’s efforts on behalf of our folks! --xoxo The DO40 Board
