We're re-running our favorite episodes from The Business of You archives. If you missed it the first time, or just want to listen again, check this one out! In Part 2 of my conversation with Jonathan Jackson, we dive deeper into his faith and passion for creative storytelling.  If acting, music and writing were all about entertaining people, Jonathan would have left the industry behind a long time ago. Instead, he uses multiple creative channels to weave authentic stories of redemption, grace and humanity for others - through song, spoken and written word.  While Jonathan still acts, he primarily builds his influence on the foundation of storytelling in every form it takes, with poetry and music taking center stage.  Jonathan recently released a new book called The Harrowing of Hell: An Epic Poem exploring what happened between Christ's crucifixion and resurrection. To Jonathan, it is the story of the Hero of Heroes. He has also authored other books including a work of Mystical Poetry entitled “Book of Solace and Madness” and the non-fiction prose “The Mystery of Art”, which has been translated into multiple languages.  His band Enation has performed alongside artists such as Echo & The Bunnymen, Sarah McLachlan, Echosmith, and more. Their newest album, Ultraviolet Empire, was released in the fall of 2020 and was co-produced by GRAMMY® Award-winning producer Colin Linden.  Jonathan Jackson is a five-time EMMY® Award-winning actor and Critics' Choice Award nominee who has starred in numerous TV and films, including ABC/CMT's hit drama “Nashville” (2012–2018), “General Hospital” (1993–1999, 2009–2011, 2015), “Tuck Everlasting” (2002), “The Deep End Of The Ocean” (1999), “Insomnia” (2002) and “Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights” (2004). He also appeared in episodes of “One Tree Hill”, “Boy Meets World”, “The Twilight Zone” and “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.” Trust the timing Jonathan Jackson is a believer in divine timing.  Rather than many business strategists who will tell you that there is a “right” or “wrong” time to put your work out into the world, Jonathan recommends that we as entrepreneurs turn inwards. Do you feel like the work is done - and is the world actually ready for it? Do the conditions feel right to you?  Jonathan has multiple albums, several books and even some screenplays that await the right conditions. They are in various stays of completion, but they all have one thing in common - it's not the right time yet.  In this episode, Jonathan serves us a welcome reminder that much of life and business is about timing.  Don't be afraid to explore your interests If you're someone with varying interests, it can be easy to cave in to others' advice to just choose one focus. But Jonathan Jackson gives us his honest advice: Don't.  In his young adulthood, Jonathan was an actor while he sought to learn songwriting, screenwriting and more. He never lost sight of his own passions and followed every thread as far as he could, creating new spaces for his own exploration. The results have been incredible. With his most recent book he released an original score of music and occasionally hosts live performances honoring the work. SImilarly, he believes that we can all weave our passions together when the timing is right. Rather than seeing our interests as boxes we have to fit into, he encourages us to stay open minded and see the broader picture. Your interests may seem disparate now, but how could they be woven together in new and innovative ways? Those are the questions worth asking in life.  Soundbytes 4:53 - 5:26 “I look at art and poetry and storytelling as all one reality. To me Christ is the great storyteller. He is the eternal poet, the master of story. You can't get a greater story than the story of Christ. The beauty, tragedy and triumph.” 7:59 - 8:17 “I don't feel like every project has to be overtly religious in any way, shape or form to be beautiful. I just want it to have some kind of meaning. Some kind of honesty about the human condition.” Quotes “I had these deep experiences with Christ. To be, theology is beauty, and poetry. It's not about a religion, it's about life.” “When I'm looking at music, storytelling or films, I can't see the world outside of the beauty and challenging reality of Christ.” “Orthodoxy has helped me to see the whole world as a sacrament.” “When I was younger I was looking at it like acting was the central focus of my income. But I saw the writing on the wall a long time ago, that that was not going to be enough for my soul. Developing my writing and music was a way of engaging with the world in these other ways.” “There is a strange kind of tension between the flurry of inspiration, creating things, and waiting. We have four albums we've created and not released yet, because we're waiting for the right time. I have a handful of books that have been written and screenplays - we don't know what we're doing, really. There is intentionality and prayer and vision, but we're trying to be flexible.” “As a writer, I want to live in it for a while, go away from it and come back. Again and again. It's a testing thing, a maturation process with a particular work. My lived experience finally matches the intention of the work.” “I've learned over the years that the music and the story is about connecting with someone's soul and heart. That's the stuff I care about.” Links mentioned in this episode: Visit Jonathan Jackson's Website at https://www.jonathanjackson.com/  Find Jonathan on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/JonathanJacksonHQ/  Follow Jonathan on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/jonathanjacksonhq/  Subscribe to Jonathan Jackson's Youtube channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4KKxEIbF5kAGOSi26Nx3Bg 

We're re-running our favorite episodes from The Business of You archives. If you missed it the first time, or just want to listen again, check this one out! Jonathan Jackson was a child actor in the 1990's and early 2000's. But since then, he has become a powerful artist, musician and creator. Now on The Business of You, Jonathan is sharing his unique story - including his journey to faith, fame and personal growth.  Jonathan Jackson is a multi-faceted artist who creates meaningful art pieces through music, film, and the written word. He is a five-time EMMY® Award-winning actor and Critics' Choice Award nominee who has starred in numerous TV and films, including ABC/CMT's hit drama “Nashville” (2012–2018), “General Hospital” (1993–1999, 2009–2011, 2015), “Tuck Everlasting” (2002), “The Deep End Of The Ocean” (1999), “Insomnia” (2002) and “Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights” (2004). He also appeared in episodes of “One Tree Hill”, “Boy Meets World”, “The Twilight Zone” and “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.” His indie band Enation has performed alongside artists across the musical spectrum, including post-punk legends Echo & The Bunnymen, the iconic Sarah McLachlan, Echosmith, and more. Their new album, Ultraviolet Empire, was released in the fall of 2020 and was co-produced by GRAMMY® Award-winning producer Colin Linden.  Jonathan is also a published Author. His current books include a work of Mystical Poetry entitled “Book of Solace and Madness” and the non-fiction prose “The Mystery of Art”, which has been translated into multiple languages. Jonathan resides in Ireland with his wife, Elisa, and their three children. He enjoys Greek coffee, good wine, and music. Navigating fame at an early age At just 11 years old, Jonathan left his idyllic childhood in Washington State to work as a child actor in California. Starring in “General Hospital”, he gained notoriety as a soap opera star and quickly began to book other roles.  Working in television and movies, Jonathan had a workload that exceeded that of most grown adults. He knew that if he did not anchor himself in his relationship with God and his connections to his family, he would be swept away. With wisdom beyond his years, Jonathan turned to creative self-expression to set himself free. He collaborated with his brother Richard to compose original music, learn new instruments and write screenplays. Laughing, he explains that he had to begin writing because many of the ones he read were not very good.  Rather than fall victim to the clutches of a dark industry, Jonathan used music and writing to guide himself towards the light. It became the foundation for his life's work. Creativity is a divine gift Self-expression became the basis on which Jonathan connected with others and with his higher power.  Channeling his gifts into music and written words, Jonathan became a known artist and musician with his band, Enation. Since the band's inception in 2003, they have toured periodically and continued to produce new work. Jonathan is the band's frontman, writing most of the songs in addition to singing, playing guitar, and playing the piano. While navigating fame and building a career as a musician, Jonathan was also on another personal growth journey - his quest to deepen and explore his faith. For more of Jonathan's story, be sure to tune in next week for Part II of Jonathan's story here on The Business of You! Soundbytes 11:49 - 12:20 “Writing began very early on. Richard, my brother, is 3 years older than me. My brother and I started writing our first screenplay when he was 15 and I was 12. The inspiration was that some of the scripts we were reading weren't very good. We had this feeling early on - like, we can't just sit around and wait for good projects to come our way.” 12:29 - 12:57 “I started writing songs at 11 or 12, at the same time I started acting. It was a way of keeping me sane, and it was a therapeutic thing. At that age it's just a hobby. It turned into starting a band in our late teens!” 15:28 - 16:23 “One of the things acting gave me at a young age - and there's been a lot of studies about the brain and neuroplasticity - that can happen. When you put yourself in certain situations. People looked into it, the neuroplasticity of the brain changes for actors when you play other characters and perform things. It opened me up to the world. At a very young age I had to think and feel, asking so many questions about how others see the world - and what their fears and desires might be. Human psychology became part of my world at a young age.” Quotes “I'm more of an introvert, definitely. I'm fascinated by the introvert/extrovert dynamic. I'm not sure how much is nature versus nurture. I was extroverted as a child and became more introverted when I started acting. I do love people, communicating and connecting one on one.” “Too much attention, positive or negative, is kind of negative. It's going to kind of attack your ego and put you in a false reality. And if you have too much criticism and judgment, you're potentially in extremes when you have any kind of spotlight. Searching for an equilibrium was my main focus throughout my teenage years. How do I remain sane through all that?” “I glimpsed where my life could go if I wasn't careful. A massive wave could pick me up and destroy me, if I didn't position myself carefully. I thought, I need to anchor myself.” “My brother was my closest friend, growing up. I was grateful that we had each other to walk through the madness of LA and the industry together.” “I was slowly, slowly feeling like something central was missing in my experiences in Protestant churches. Wonderful people most of the time, good intentions. But something about the church itself, I just didn't understand it. There were so many versions. You start looking around and think, this is very confusing. The sense of something missing was not connected to Christ Himself, it was the vagueness of the church.” “The modern question is, what do I believe? It sounds like an important question. But the real question if you have any approximation to Christ is, what do Christians believe, and what have they always believed?” Links mentioned in this episode: Visit Jonathan Jackson's Website at https://www.jonathanjackson.com/  Find Jonathan on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/JonathanJacksonHQ/  Follow Jonathan on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/jonathanjacksonhq/  Subscribe to Jonathan Jackson's Youtube channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4KKxEIbF5kAGOSi26Nx3Bg   

Have the time of your life…all over again. The hits keep coming as Hot Dave's Summer Film Fest Vol. 4: Not THAT'S What I Call Dance Movies! is back with the sequel that everyone in 2004 was clamoring for: Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights. I'm your host, Dave, and joining me as we ditch this boring party and head over to La Rosa Negra for some hot, sweaty dancing are fellow cinephiles and dirty dancers Ryan, Janna, and Kara. Listen as we discuss Miramax's botched attempt at cashing in on the dance movie craze of the early 2000's; the character of Phelps gives Patrick Bateman a run for his money in the nicely groomed psycho department; and finally, the movie's end credits confirm that Patrick Swayze's character is definitely not Johnny Castle (except, he basically is). Be sure to rate, review and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. You can also Follow Us on Twitter, Like Us on Facebook, or shoot us an email at apocalypsevideopod@gmail.com. What are your favorite dance films? Drop us a line and let us know. That'll do it for this episode, folks.

For Tony Manero, freedom comes once a week. It comes on Saturday night... it's called Saturday Night Fever. Summer rolls on, and so do the hits with Hot Dave's Summer Film Fest Vol. 4: Now THAT'S What I Call Dance Movies. This week, we're dancing under the disco ball as we watch the 1977 box office sensation, Saturday Night Fever. I'm your host, Dave, and joining me as we collectively pool our resources to buy that bitchin' outfit on layaway are fellow dancers Ryan, Mike, Jackie, and Nick “Immortan Hoof”. Listen as we discuss how this is a truly great movie…that you probably won't want to re-watch anytime soon; we learn of Gene Siskel's love of the film, including his costly memorabilia purchase; and finally, we'll talk about the Mandela effect with the film and its infamous PG rating change.

This week we watch, review and react to The Archies, the 2023 Indian Hindi language teen musical comedy film. LADS need a funny sunny happy movie to watch this week, when it's a cold, dark January, and this is it. A live action adaptation of the comic book, this beautiful film set in Riverdale is just what we needed. LADS discuss the (fairly thin, let's face it) plot, our favourite characters and the film Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights (at length). Abi tries to pretend she doesn't like Patrick Swayze. Dan outs himself as a stalker of Lucy and Sam. 

Long-time listeners of this podcast will know that 1987's Dirty Dancing is Anita Sarkeesian's favorite film, so for this season opening episode of Feminist Frequency Radio, she is, of course, joining host Kat Spada for a look at the Swayze-ist of Patrick Swayze films. But this conversation has a twist, as they'll also be considering Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights, the (ill-advised) 2004 sequel. Are we still having the time of our lives?Links Mentioned:I Am Cuba on Kanopy: https://www.kanopy.com/en/product/i-am-cuba-0Find Anita:anitasarkeesian.comtwitter.com/anitasarkeesianFind Kat:twitter.com/kat_ex_machinaFind Us:Join our PatreonOur WebsiteSubscribe to FFR on Apple PodcastsTwitterInstagramtwitch.tv/femfreq

Part of her journey to becoming a dancer herself has even been made into a film – the sequel to the Dirty Dancing movie, Dirty Dancing Havana Nights, which was based on her teenage experience in Cuba.

Isis Mussenden is an international costume designer whose film credits include The Chronicles of Narnia, the two animated classics, Shrek and Shrek 2, Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights, American Psycho, and The Waterdance. She has earned CableACE and BAFTA nominations for her designs and was the recipient of both Saturn and CDG awards and a 2018 Ciclope Gold Award. Isis is a native of Los Angeles and attended the University of California at Santa Barbara as a studio art major and later graduated from New York's prestigious Parsons School of Design earning her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Fashion Design.   Isis joins us to share her insights into character development and telling stories through clothes and costume. She discusses how she came to be the first costume designer credited on an animated film and describes the intricacies of what she does as a costume designer, particularly the differences between working with human actors versus animated characters. Isis also shares how she became interested in costume design and dives into the details of some of her favorite recent projects.   “There 10 million paths into the business...we're just opening the doors of access, and showing how many different careers and career paths that there are in film and television.” - Adam Leipzig   “You have a whole new perspective. You don't have any preconceived notions whatsoever.” - Tamika Lamison   “Way before I even think of a piece of clothing, I'm just thinking about the story, the character, the person, the way an actor does, but the difference is I have to be all the actors.” - Isis Mussenden    Highlights This Week: How Isis manages to tell character stories even within very specific period constraints as she did in films such as 13 Days, directed by Roger Donaldson How Isis comes into a movie — how she pitches herself and her ideas to the filmmaker The jobs that Isis interviewed for and didn't get and why she remains philosophical about the process of finding jobs that are an excellent fit for her personality and skills The key roles and responsibilities of working as a costume designer and why Isis feels it's beneficial for graduates to start at the bottom in the industry they love Why terminology matters and the difference between the terms' wardrobe designer' and ‘costume designer' How Isis' close relationship with her mother led to her pursuing her interest in costume design Some of the past projects that Isis is particularly proud of Isis' advice for one of MediaU's emerging costume designers   Student of The Week: Lashell Gibbs - Born and raised in Hartford, CT. I loved fashion from a very young age. At the age of 6, I would put on fashion shows for the company of whomever was at my house. I can recall spending days watching fashion shows during fashion week. In high school I would mix and mash fashion styles to create my own unique looks. I went off to college at Alabama State University. While getting my degree in Elementary Education, I found time to dance in band and theater, work in the theater department's costume shop and become Miss Alabama State University. After graduating I taught math to 7th and 8th graders for four years then went on to teach 2nd grade for three years. While teaching I was collecting vintage and unique fashions for my fantasy online store. After my seventh year of teaching, I resigned and took a leap of faith and started a brick-and-mortar store in Hartford named How Bazaar. We sold my clothing designs, vintage fashions, furniture and local artist goods. After three years of owning the store, I had a vision of taking my shop on the road for a college and music festival tour, to raise awareness around sustainable fashion. To realize this vision, I bought a mobile home and turned it into a mobile boutique. I closed the brick-and-mortar store and ran the mobile boutique full-time. I took How Bazaar mobile boutique across country from Art Basel in Miami to SXSW in Austin and on to Coachella in Indio, California. After Coachella I visited Los Angeles and decided to stay to pursue my dream of becoming a costume designer.  While sleeping in my truck at night and selling clothing on Melrose and other markets I would talk with buyers about what I wanted to do. I lucked out one day and had the opportunity to talk with a seamstress for film. She told me to attend Los Angeles Trade Tech College and learn how to sew, because the industry is always looking for people in costume with sewing skills. So, I enrolled and started attending LATTC for fashion and design. During my first semester I applied for the Academy Gold Program (a diversity program for students wanting to work in the film and television industry). To everyone's surprise, the pandemic happened and there was no more school. I returned to Connecticut and received the best news ever. I made it into the Academy Gold Online Program. After attending the Academy Gold Program, I was flabbergasted when my mentor was announced to be the iconic Ruth Carter! Ruth and I would meet over zoom and phone during which we got to know one another. During one of our meetings, she told me if I can make it to ATL I could work with her on Black Panther 2 and continue being mentored. I packed my mobile boutique up and hauled my car to Atlanta and as they say, “the rest is history.”    Resources: Isis Mussenden Website Isis Mussenden on IMDB   Connect with MediaU: MediaU Website MediaU on Facebook MediaU on Instagram MediaU on Twitter Adam Leipzig on LinkedIn Tamika Lamison on LinkedIn      

Since the dawn of cinema, sequels have always been a dicey proposition. As the media is oft to tell us, fans are absolute monsters and barely register as human, and as such, can be fickle and unreasonable with how they receive follow-ups to their favourite properties. Some sequels meet even the most jaded fan expectations, and provide quality and worthy continuations of fantastic starts - think Winter Soldier, Terminator 2, and Wrath of Khan. In other cases, you get movies like Last Jedi, Speed 2, and Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights, all being served by Howard the Duck in a Miniskirt as he squats over your table and colon-dumps onto your plate. However, once in a long while, you get a sequel that not only manages to reach the level of expectation set upon it by demanding fans, but in many ways surpasses the original source material and becomes legendary in its own right. Empire Strikes Back is an obvious example of this, but in this episode, we get to talk about another absolute gem of sequel legend - 2010: The Year We Make Contact. Strap into your command chair and join Jay and Benny as we blast off into Jupiter orbit, and enjoy one of the best sequels in movie history. 2001 is a tough act to follow because of the whole...you know...absolute artistry and generation-defining storyline. However, 2010 inexplicably knocks it out of the park with a compelling follow-up to the events of the previous film, while adding incredible acting, solid storytelling, and themes of unity and camaraderie against all odds. 2010 is a rare gem in the world of sequels for an obvious yet often overlooked reason - it respects and honours the original material, using it as a springboard to continue a story that makes existing fans happy, while providing an accessible journey to new ones. We wish more studious would take note of this *cough Disney Star Wars cough*. Avoid staring directly at the monolith as we explore such topics as: With two minutes of computer mission review text, the viewer is perfectly brought up to speed on the events of the previous movie. If you never saw 2001, these two minutes would have you perfectly positioned to enjoy the movie. Why don't more sequels do this? Russia and the US are close to an all out war, yet the scientist interactions between both nations are presented with the right amount of intrigue and cooperation. The growing friendship between the two nations' crews is one of the best parts of this movie If you're like Benny, and you have an abnormally strong dislike of women with pronounced chin dimples, you're going to HATE Floyd's wife Dave is a returning character, playing a pivotal role in story development. He is a beloved character that is treated with respect and dignity. Last Jedi is absolute garbage Enough good things cannot be said about the growing relationships between space crews. From Floyd's fatherly comforting of a young Russian officer to John Lithgow's buddy Max, the viewer is treated to enemies slowly becoming friends in a universe that doesn't allow it Dear NASA: We get it. There's clay on Mars. Awesome. How about you get around to launching a drill probe so we can all say hello to the sentient squid race under Europa's icy crust? Pretty please?

Welcome to another awesome episode! We sit down with the ever fascinating Mika Boorem.  Mika has a long list of acting credits in film and tv, has directed, written, and produced, and has worn many other hats in the film industry during her career. She has traveled the world, started a charity (MadaKilonga), and is driven to do interesting things by her passion for her work, in a male dominated industry. We appreciate her coming by to share her amazing stories with us. Mika's bio: Mika Boorem is an American actress who has also ventured into directing. She made her debut with a voice role in 2005's Whisper of the Heart. She next had her first TV role in an episode of Touched by an Angel. She later had roles in the films The Education of Little Tree, Jack Frost and Things You Can Tell Just by Looking at Her. At the same time, she also starred as Alissa Amross on the short-lived series The Tom Show. In the 2000s, she had notable roles in the films The Patriot, Along Came a Spider, Hearts in Atlantis, Riding in Cars with Boys, Blue Crush, and Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights. She also played the recurring role of Harley Hetson on Dawson's Creek. She recently made her feature film directorial debut in 2018's Hollywood.Con. Some trivia: She has a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, is an experienced gymnast, and can speak French.   

Our discussion of the pop culture topics in the July 1988 issue of Sassy turns into a wild ride, as Dave takes tough stances on overstuffed comic books, Pam fact-checks an item on Keanu Reeves's name, and a factoid about fireworks ends up in a revelation about pediatric dentistry in Saskatchewan in the 1980s. Watch It covers Permanent Record and Running On Empty, among others; then Listen Up assigns Jenny Morris the wrong nationality but also tells us about a solo project from a guy in The Smiths. Chris Young tries (and fails) to break the One To Watch curse. Then it's on to the features: Christina reports from the set of The All New Dating Game and delivers a roundup of Australian bands, before Karen profiles a very VERY young Chynna Phillips. No need to hold on for one more day: our latest podcast is here! Visual Aids

Jackson. Fresh devises and executes a brilliant plan to extricate himself and his drug-addicted sister from their hopeless lives.Next up for Boaz was directing the box-office smash REMEMBER THE TITANS.Academy Award® winner Denzel Washington shines in REMEMBER THE TITANS. Based on real events, this remarkable story celebrates how a town torn apart by friction and mistrust comes together in triumphant harmony. After leading his team to fifteen winning seasons, beloved football coach Bill Yoast (Will Patton) is demoted and replaced by tough, opinionated Herman Boone (Washington).How these two men overcome their differences and turn a group of hostile young men into champions is a remarkable portrait of courage and perseverance.

Because nobody puts Baby in a corner.A "Dirty Dancing" sequel is indeed happening, courtesy of Lionsgate, Deadline reports.Studio CEO Jon Feltheimer confirmed the news on an earnings call Thursday, referring to it as "one of the worst kept secrets in Hollywood," according to the publication."It will be exactly the kind of romantic, nostalgic movie that the franchise's fans have been waiting for and that have made it the biggest-selling library title in the company's history," he reportedly said.The 1987 film starred Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey as dance instructor Johnny Castle and vacationer Frances "Baby" Houseman who find love (and a now-iconic dance routine) at a holiday resort.Grey is reportedly set to star in the sequel as well as executive produce it. Swayze died at age 57 in 2009 of pancreatic cancer.The original film sparked other projects including two "Dirty Dancing" TV series, a TV movie, a musical and the 2004 film "Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights."

The Idols of so many dancers, the legendary dancers Tito and Tamara! sharing their journey, experience, how they keep motivated and what it takes to be successful but also to stay successful for many years... Enjoy :) From www.TitoOrtos.com: Ortos J. Gutiérrez Ortiz, better know as “Tito Ortos”, was born in Santurce, Puerto Rico on the 26thof December, 1974. His father, Ortos D. Gutiérrez Colón, a piano and clarinet player and his mother Awilda Ortíz Molina, a guitar and French tube player, both graduated from the "Escuela Libre de Música" in Hato Rey, PR. Years later, Tito took on their footsteps and studied both bass and clarinet during two years at the "Escuela Libre de Música" in Carolina, PR. His musical heritage was undeniable for not only his parent, but also his great-grandfather,Domingo Colón, was a musician. Domingo was the creator of "Mingo and his Whoopee Kids" band, where the famous Puerto Rican singer Ruth Fernández, started her career. Tito began his career as a salsa dancer because of his parent’s initiative. They took him to his first dance teacher, the outstanding dancer, Papito Jala Jala. He taught him the foundations of salsa and his trademark, the art of dancing with flavor. Soon enough Tito was invited to be a member of famous salsa dance group, the Jala Jala Dancers. He also had the honor of being able to take lessons with another spectacular salsa dancer Mr. Tito Bey. During his years as a Jala Jala Dancer, he participates in many local and international events as well as in shows with performers such as Roberto Roena, Cheo Feliciano and La Sonora Ponceñaamong others. At that same time, Tito was one of the singers in his father’s orchestra "De Menor a Mayor" which later became "Songo". In the near future he began to work with choreographer and dancer Stacey López with whom he got to dance for Jerry Rivera and several more artists of RMM Music Company. Other groups in which he participated were "Danzarines de Papa Tambor", directed by Jorge Santana;"Bailadores D’aki", directed by Felipe Polanco and "International Dancers", directed by Angel Martínez. Ortos completed a Bachelor’s Degree in Natural Sciences at the University of Puerto Rico. Here he also took modern dance classes and worked with choreographerViveca Vázquez and Paulette Beauchamp. Because of his open mind and his desire to become a more completed dancer, Tito challenged himself and took upon the experience of moving for several months to the city of New York. His friend and colleague, Jhesus Aponte, inspired him greatly in taking this step. During his stay at New York, he trained very hard in jazz and other disciplines such as ballet, tap and acrobatics at the respectful academy, Broadway Dance Center. Since then, he has visited over 75 cities worldwide giving performances and classes, with his wife and dance partner Tamara Livolsi. Then both participate yearly in congress around the world and work as judges to the Salsa Open and for the World Salsa Championship. Produce the Puerto Rico Hustle and Salsa Festival and they ar part of the organization of the Puerto Rico Salsa Congress. In addition to his dancing career, Tito works with the government of Puerto Rico as the director of the Salsa Dance Program, "San Juan es Salsa", of the Department of Recreation and Sport of San Juan. This Program has over 1,000 students and still growing every year. He also is in charge of the dance competition "San Juan es Salsa". Tito also has acting experience for he has done over 10 TV commercials and was one of the dancers in the films "Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights", Yellow, El Cantante: Hector Lavoe y American Gangster. Nowadays not only has he established himself as a dancer but also as choreographer. He does all the choreographic work for Gilberto Santa Rosa and Víctor Manuelle and has choreographed for El Gran Combo, Michael Stuart, Richie Ray & Bobby Cruz, Domingo Quiñones, Ismael Miranda, Elvis Crespo, Modesto Cepeda, Andy Montañez and Tego Calderón. In addition to all this, he also choreographed the "Bomba" and "Cha-Cha-Cha" intervention of Ricky Martinin the presentation of "Miss Universe 2001 Pegeant" and the 2003 tibute to Celia Cruz, the TV Special "Azúcar" which was held in Miami. Even though he is best know for salsa dancing, Tito is also an outstanding jazz dancer and has performed with Melina León, Yaire, Elvis Crespo, Olga Tañón and among others.

Kicking off 2019 with NPR’s “Wait Wait...Don’t Tell Me!” host, Peter Sagal. Sagal got his start with screenwriting, penning Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights. Writing the sequel to Dirty Dancing was a natural transition to hosting a public radio show. Sagal talks to Catie Lazarus about how he wound up hosting National Public Radio’s most popular show, his new book “The Incomplete Book of Running”, and why to get off the grid.

We had the time of our lives discussing Dirty Dancing (1987), Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights (2004) and the 2017 made-for-TV musical version of the original. We compare performances, plots, and most importantly, dance montages that begin in hesitance and end in pure expressions of love, sex, and self. There are a lot of those.
