SPECIAL THANKS TO:

Sylvia and Erik Robison, who coined the term "Hollywood Style" and in a few hours blew away the clouds. Marcus Koch and Barbl Kaufer who suffered our sofa bed in the name of dance. Shawn and Debbie Carter who provided us with inspiration and, of course, Dean Collins and all those others alive and dead whose creativity and skill from sixty years ago still provide a guiding light.
