Welcome to Elaine's  NEIGHBORHOOD! Live Love Learn Locally is a "How to" spot for understanding and appreciating neighborhoods. Living and Loving Locally begins right here in SoHo -New York City where I can dance my dream to the fullest, drum up daily delights, and match my special lifestyle needs. We're living and loving longer! Please share how you live and love in YOUR neighborhood. One day, YOU may be saying, "WELCOME!"

Elaine wants to help you share in her evening last night at the Danspace Project Gala at St. Marks Church ...just a short cab ride from SoHo.  She says, "Imagine last night, our friend June Ekman came to bring me to the wonderful Danspace Project Gala at St. Marks Church honoring Ralph Lemon & Joseph V. Melillo. Happily for me, part of the wonder of living such a long time (87 years) and being much older than everybody else, are all the wonderful friends that are working with you, and have worked with you, in the world of dance and film, and web.

June is a celebrated and splendid teacher of the Alexander Technique. In 1960 at Judson Church, June was being a part of all the experimentation with movement and ideas about the developing methods of understanding through a kind of experiential anatomy the dancers' need for becoming experts at understanding our instrument, the whole human body and its possibilities to dance.

Thank you, June. It was a wonderful gala. Sitting in the beautiful garden and talking to Beryl Korot, who we'll go to see on Saturday at Bitforms Gallery.
