2. DANCE: WHY DANCING IS BETTER THAN ONLINE DATING. MOSHE RASIER, founder ofAVENTURA DANCE FRANCHISE, a successful dance studio, can discuss why dancingis better than online dating: "My goal as a dance instructor is to create astudent-friendly, fun atmosphere that also provides an excellent workout and agreat way to socialize. For ages, dance has represented tradition, culture andhas carried along with it the heritage of customs, civilizations andethnicity. Not only was dance an expression of culture, but it also allowedpeople to socialize and feel freer under sometimes very strict socialconvention. Dancing has been a form of self-expression and socialization sincewe made drawings on cave walls." Aventura Dance Franchise is the only dancestudio franchise in the U.S. specializing in Latin dance instruction. Rasierhas performed live in front of 80,000 people, as well as for 500 milliontelevision viewers during the Super Bowl XLI pre-game show in February 2007,which was produced by Cirque du Soleil. He has also performed in two MiamiHeat half-time shows. Rasier is located in Miami and is fluent in Spanish andHebrew. Web site: http://www.aventuradance.com (3/19/10)
3. HEALTH: INTENSIVE TREATMENT OF DIABETES DOES NOT PRODUCE DESIRED RESULTS.VIK KHANNA, president and chief exercise officer, GALILEO HEALTH PARTNERS,LLC: "Intensively treating diabetics with both antiglycemic agents and lipid-lowering agents is much less useful than was expected, leading us back to theneed for lifestyle change. While we await the fate of health care reform,Americans must embrace a crucial and immutable fact: lifestyle change -- usingjudicious, evidence-based physical activity and healthy eating guidelines --is the only tool available to nearly each and every person, which will help tolower the steep slope of rising medical care costs. Aiming to increasepersonal physical fitness is a crucial hedge against chronic diseases such asdiabetes and heart disease. The march of chronic disease through Americanculture will cripple quality of life in the U.S. over the next decade and onlyworsen the financial health of our medical care system."
