I met Mario at the Jessye Norman School of the Arts on First Friday in July. Gary M Dennis introduced us--Thank you Gary.

Mario is a very interesting guy- he swing dances, teaches dance all over town- both partner and 'exercise style'. He'll be starting classes at the Jessye Norman School in late August so grab you dancing shoes (leather, flat) and a partner and have some fun.

Of course I covered events now and in the future. don't miss Jay Jacobs Art at Westobou Gallery, Ben Folds on the Savannah River in Augusta, GA, Ed Turner Rock and Soul Revue- with an added show on Saturday, the Eclipse watch at the Augusta Library and more... check out the Arts Calendar on AugustaArts.com.
