Bored with your Treadmill? Try Dancing!

It is the Best Cure for Two Left Feet

And…Maybe a Possible Remedy for So Much More

Why ballroom dancing?  Let me share a bit of my personal experience.  Attending my very first ballroom dance class well over a dozen years ago, I found myself in a situation where I felt shy, awkward and unsure that I really wanted to pursue this activity.  I struggled to find my place in this new arena.  Patient teachers, repetition, and a stick to it attitude helped me gain confidence.  I find I now hold my head higher, dress differently and walk with greater assurance.  I want the same for my students.  I really like to see the light in their eyes when they find joy in movement. My goal is the same; teach, encourage, equip students to experience and enjoy the Gifts of Dance. Including Physical, Mental, & Social Benefits

“Dance is a very powerful drug Mr. Keane. If embraced judiciously, it can exorcise demons, access deep seated emotions, and color your life in joyous shades of brilliant magenta that you never knew existed. But, one must shoulder its challenges with intrepid countenance if one is ever to reap its rewards.”     ~ From the 2005 Movie: Marilyn Hotchkiss Ballroom Dancing and Charm School

Dance raises our self esteem.  Learning to move as one with a partner requires a knowledge of frame and how we move together.  By working on this we develop better posture, poise, and balance and so very much more can happen once we take up this incredible hobby.

Just a Few Studies That Confirm the Physical Benefits of Dancing

Dance and Alzheimer’s disease

The Einstein Aging Study, summarized in the June 19, 2003 New England Journal of Medicine. The results of the study indicate that ballroom dancing helps prevent dementia.

A group of 469 men and women were studied between the years 1980 and 2001. Each member gave details about participation in six brain stimulating hobbies; reading, writing for pleasure, doing crosswords, playing musical instruments, taking part in group discussions and playing board games and 11 physical activities including: ballroom dancing, team sports, swimming and bicycling.

The researchers found no significant association between physical activities and the risk of dementia – except for ballroom dancing. The amazing 76% risk reduction from frequent participation in ballroom dancing by 130 avid dancers was the highest score of all hobbies and physical activities measured in the study.

Dr. Joe Verghese, assistant professor of neurology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University, New York, offered the theory that the requirements of ballroom dancing: remembering the steps, moving in precise time to the music and adapting to the movements of one’s partner – are mentally demanding exercises. Ballroom dancing offers both physical and mental stimulation.

Try Dancing for Heart Health

A study conducted by medical researchers in Italy found that people with mild to moderate heart failure who took up waltzing improved their heart health, their breathing and their quality of life significantly more than those who exercised by bicycling or walking on a treadmill.

The dancers reported many benefits of dancing: slightly better results for sleep, mood, and their ability to have sex, pursue hobbies and do housework than the group that followed more traditional cardiac rehab.

Dancing allows you to work at your fitness level, increasing speed and footwork as your strength and stamina improve. Other benefits of dancing for health include:

• Using more of your muscle groups for overall toning

• Improving balance, which can help you avoid falling injuries

• Reducing stress

• Improving your social life and making new friends

• Having fun and feeling young

• Using Oxygen more efficiently

• Patients stuck to their programs longer.

According to Elliott M. Antman, MD, a heart specialist at Harvard Medical School, “Dancing appears to be an attractive and fun way for heart failure patients to get their exercise,” Antman said. “I highly recommend it.”

Tango Classes Put Parkinson’s Patients a Step Ahead

From a study published in the Journal of Neurologic Physical Therapy.

Researchers at the Washington University in St. Louis medical school compared the effects of Argentine tango lessons and exercise classes on the functional mobility of 19 Parkinson’s patients. The patients were randomly assigned to do 20 one-hour tango classes or group strength and exercise sessions designed for Parkinson’s patients and the elderly.

All the patients were assessed prior to the start of these activities and after they completed the sessions. The dance classes included stretching, balance exercises, tango-style walking, footwork patterns, experimenting of timing of steps, and dance with and without a partner. By the end of the sessions, both groups showed significant improvements in standard tests designed to measure mobility. People in the tango group showed more improvement in balance than those in the exercise group.

“This type of therapy looks to be superior to what is currently offered,” Researcher Madeline E. Hackney, a pre-doctoral trainee in movement science, said in a prepared statement. “The quality of life improved in these patients because of the social aspect of dancing.”

Downtown Wilmington is always up to something new and exciting; 2012 is no different!

By Christine E. Serio
Director of Marketing and Public Relations
Wilmington Renaissance Corporation

As we say goodbye to 2011 and welcome 2012, Downtown Wilmington showcases why it is vibrant and exciting as ever with existing favorite hot spots for entertainment, grabbing a bite or a drink, listening to live music or shopping for a unique gift. But there are some new elements in downtown for 2012 that will also enhance the city.

Downtown Wilmington is soon to be home to even more residents as the Delaware College of Art and Design (DCAD) expands on Market St.

The art college recently announced the acquisition of the Brandywine Suites Hotel at 707 N. King St., as part of a $4.2 million expansion of student housing and campus services. DCAD has experienced significant growth in the past few years, and purchased the property to accommodate the growing student housing need.

While first-year DCAD students live in The Saville, which the college owns, it has leased other living space from downtown property owners for second-year students. Once renovations are made to the former hotel property, DCAD will be able to offer second-year students housing in one building.

“This expansion is perfect for our needs,” said DCAD President Stuart Baron. “We’ll be able to bring our students into one location and provide additional services to our students.”

The former hotel will be converted to a residential facility with 49 rooms that for 95 students. The expansion plan also includes new office and meeting space as well as a dining area. In addition, Baron said the project includes commercial retail space on the first floor of the facility which opens onto Market St.

For more information, visit www.dcad.edu.

The romantic notion of time-traveling back to the flapper-era and sipping a beer or two with Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald is as easy as dining out in Downtown Wilmington.

Restaurateur Scott Morrison recently launched Ernest & Scott Taproom at 900 N. Market St. The restaurant is among the first beer-centric retailers in America to adopt The Brewers Association’s definition of a craft brewery to determine which beers can make it onto their beer list.

“The depth and breadth of offerings and phenomenal growth of American Craft Beer propelled me to consider doing a restaurant that puts these beers at the forefront, without any mass market beers diluting the integrity of the beer list,” said Morrison.

As part of the restaurant team, Sam Calagione of Dogfish Head has been brought in to advise on craft beer brewing, aging, serving, and food pairing. As a result, Ernest & Scott Taproom will feature a wide selection of cask-conditioned and bottle-conditioned beer. Complementing these, will be a modern beer garden menu, specifically designed to accompany said brews.

The 2nd& LOMA area has a new face in the crowd of tenants as well with Matilda’s Off Market at 230 N. Shipley St.

Owner, John Samluk, has been in the hair salon business for 32 years and has returned to Wilmington with a new salon serving both men and women. In addition to many services for hair, the Paul Mitchell Focus salon also offers waxing services.

The shop is open Tuesday through Saturday and appointments can be made by calling 302-543-6004.

For more information, visit www.matildasoffmarket.com.

This Spring NOSO Boutique, located at 222 West 9th St., will expand into the men’s business and offer Downtown Wilmington men’s apparel and accessories that are fashion forward yet trendy as well sophisticated.

“For Spring, NOSO’s goal is to put together a merchandise assortment by acquiring clothing that could be worn from day to evening and entails a fashion  style that represents  both the conservative professional modern man as well as a more edgy lower east-side NYC hipster who craves the newest trend,” said NOSO owner Anne Hamilton.

Although the merchandise assortment will include trendy clothing inspired from R-T-W runways of New York, Milan and Paris, it will also consists of more basics items such as casual and formal button down dress shirt,  pants,  printed t-shirts and denim.   The accessory selection will feature combination of ties, belts, hats and bags.

For more information, visit http://noso.us.

In 2012, the ever-popular Art on the Town (a.k.a. Art Loop), will see some new changes as well. The Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs presents the event on the first Friday of each month. More than 40 venues throughout the city offer opening night receptions as monthly exhibits open.

In the past, the Art Loops would culminate with a re:Fresh After Party each month. This year, is the launch of “Fringe Unhinged,” a monthly performance series that will take place immediately after each Art on the Town.

“Fringe Unhinged” is a new year-round component of Wilmington’s popular annual Fringe festival, which features more than 80 performances at venues throughout the Downtown every fall. The monthly performances will be held at 9 p.m. at TBA-venues and will celebrate unconventional, irreverent, and sometimes just plain bizarre performance.

In addition to “Fringe Unhinged,” WRC will launch Make it A Night in conjunction with Art on the Town as well. Patrons of the event will not only be able to experience great art and unique performances, but get great deals at restaurants and nightlife spots in downtown and Trolley Square. Make it A Night will make it easy for “loopers” to stay downtown and in Trolley Square for dinner, drinks and live entertainment after they take a spin through Art on the Town.

For more information, visit www.wilmingtonde.gov.

To stay in the loop on all the events coming to Wilmington, sign up for the Downtown News at www.downtownwilmington.com. And if you like an “inside” deal, you can also sign up for the Downtown INsider!

Without a doubt, hair is the most important changeable feature that we have. Many people come to us with a desire for a fresh new style.

Here at Rene Delyn our team of color experts are ready to assist you with making those important decisions about a new style. We believe in educating our clients and giving tips that may help aid in their decision-making about a new look.

First, we want to make sure that a specific style is compatible with our client’s lifestyle. An extreme style may fit well with someone who works in a creative field, but not so much so for the more business professional. Whether you’re making over your color, cut or both, it’s important to know what works well for you. When it comes to getting great hair, look no further than in the mirror. After determining your face shape, we will create balance and beauty by helping you select a style that will emphasizes your best features.  Forget “just the usual” trim and go for something a little more updated. Stiff, over-styled hair is out of fashion; where as flowing, natural hair is currently in style. Women’s hairstyles are seeing a return to more soft feminine waves.

Emily Moses: “I like to change my color a lot and it always feels healthy and shiny even after a drastic change.  I’ve gotten so many compliments.”

Try transforming your fringe to a fuller bang. Bangs, when done correctly, can compliment almost any face shape. You may desire a more defined shaped, which can be created with layering. Some people have a big misconception about layers. However, layering the hair can frame the face in a very complimenting way, create depth and enhance body and movement. When layers are properly placed, it can make thicker hair more manageable and give a fuller appearance to thinner hair.

We believe in staying up to date on current styles and ever changing hairstyling techniques. Our stylists have traveled the U.S. and abroad to further their education in this industry. After studying in Taiwan at the Vern Styling College, Rene has brought extensive cutting knowledge and training to the Rene Delyn Team. By using the Vern Combined Scissors Technique, our stylists are able to create texture, adjust hair volume and transform your haircut to a softer longer lasting style. With the eight interchangeable scissors, there simply is nothing that compares to the guaranteed satisfaction that this cutting technique can provide.

Pam Matthews: “The before and after blew my family away. Thank you for making me feel so comfortable.”

Now, there is no better way to compliment your updated haircut than with a fresh new color. Whether it is highlighting to brighten and accent or lowlights to create depth. It is important to stick with colors that compliment one’s skin tone; the key is finding the right shade for you. From warmer richer reds to icy cool blondes, we at Rene Delyn are here and ready to help you with your color choice.

Rene Delyn Stylists are on hand to assist you in transforming your hair and makeup for even those more special occasions. Hair inspirations are coming straight from the runways. From low knots to stunning braids, these looks are sure to turn heads at every occasion of the season.

Whether you’ve had the same hairstyle for years, or just a short time, you may be ready for a change.

Come visit us at Rene Delyn Hair Designs and let us inspire and transform you today!

Here we are once again, another holiday season is upon us – shopping, cooking, planning, preparing, entertaining – making lists and checking them twice.

It really is a magical time of year, when suddenly most everyone’s focus changes and a giving spirit hums through the air. The holiday season means something different from family to family, but nearly everyone upholds a tradition of gift giving in some fashion or another. From office gift exchanges to Santa’s giant bag filled with toys, the idea of wrapping a special surprise in shining paper for someone that you care about and watching them open it in surprise and joy is an emotion that we all crave year after year. The often unfortunate reality of this process, is our innate desire to give that “perfect” gift and having no idea where to begin.

And so, the quest for the perfect gift . . .
Although we have all been plagued with this thought, women seem to have a slightly better knack for getting the job done than their male counterparts. Perhaps, women listen better or maybe just shop more and “know” what’s available but regardless, I’d like to share a little of my male insight on giving the perfect gift. First let me say, yes, I am a jeweler and have been involved in the jewelry business pretty much my entire life in some way or another. My parents opened Erncol Jewelry Shoppe (named for my sister and I—Ernest and Colette) in 1986. But I am also a “guys-guy” who lives for the Eagles, has season tickets to the Phils, plays ice hockey in a league as well as a father to a twinkling-eyed little lady, so my words are grounded in reality and not just sales.

Why is the gift of jewelry almost always perfect? The list is nearly endless, dating back to the beginning of time. Jewelry has actual worth and has always represented power and wealth and over centuries has acquired symbolism that equates receiving and having jewelry with that of being loved, honored and treasured. No matter how dazzling the iPhone4 S is, it doesn’t carry the unspoken meaning of a simple band of gold. History aside, there are some very simple reasons why giving the gift of jewelry will (almost always) be perfect. First and foremost, jewelry is a gift that can be worn every single day and the metal actually warms to your body temperature, as it is always against your skin. The recipient, can without effort look at or touch the gift as a constant reminder of the sentiment and thus the giver. Secondly, women love to discuss the gifts they receive and whereas a gift certificate for a spa day is certainly desirable, it will never replace the rush of energy and excitement that runs through her when she can lift her wrist to show-off a delicate sprinkle of tiny diamonds scattered on a gold bracelet. Women love to show-off their gifts! Lastly, jewelry – lasts. That iPhone4 will be replaced in a matter of months and even the lavish gift of a new automobile, will in time be traded in but jewelry is something that you keep, you treasure and often pass on for someone else to fall in love with.

As a final note let me add that cost is rarely the determining factor in just how truly perfect your gift of jewelry is. I have a friend who has a very covetable collection of fine jewelry and when I asked her what her most treasured piece was, she quickly responded that it was a teeny-tiny sliver of a gold band that her partner gave her with the inscription CTH+TRL. “It literally cost $90 and I never, ever take it off. It gives me a warm smile each time I look at it”, she said. So unless you know for a fact that the woman in your life is pining away for a new Vitamix or has unabashedly begged you for an iPad I personally would suggest the magical gift of jewelry.

Erncol Jewelry Shoppe is located at 4007 Concord Pike (at Silverside Road) and is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10am until 5pm with evening hours upon request.

You know your best colors; you want to look put together. Where do you start? You start in the middle and work out.

Use a belt to accentuate your waist and give you an hourglass shape. You want to create the illusion that your shoulders are the same width as your hips. If you want to be subtle and effective, use a neutral color that you can match with your shoes. If you want to go for bold, contrast the belt with your dress. An orange belt will rock a turquoise dress; a gold belt brings a jade dress to life.

Scarves are a great accessory too! When you have a magenta dress with a neutral belt, grab a bright scarf (turquoise, perhaps?) to draw the eyes upward to your face. Jewelry is the last thing to complete your look. A good rule of thumb is when you have statement earrings, be subtle with the necklace and vice versa. A great look is when you pull colors from your belt to match your earrings and/or bracelet. I don’t have time to sit down and color with crayons anymore. The crayons I use now are my earrings, necklaces, belts and scarves. I love color – it makes you feel alive. I color everyday now…happy coloring!

Kay Snelling opened Gecko Fashions, a dress & jewelry boutique on Main Street in Newark, in May of 2006. With Kay’s business-savvy expertise and friendly personality, she has created a name for Gecko in downtown Newark and enjoys working with all of her customers.

Testimonial: “Whenever I need an outfit for a special occasion, a unique gift for a friend, some retail therapy, or even some fashion advice, Gecko Fashions is my first choice! The employees are kind and helpful, everything in the store is quality merchandise, and the prices are incredibly reasonable. If someone asks me where to get nice clothing for an even nicer price, I direct them to Gecko, which is just a brief walk away. Gecko also displays avid support for breast cancer research, and as the granddaughter of a breast cancer survivor, that means a lot to me!”~ Ciarra, Gecko customer

FoodEase is family owned and operated by
Cathy Hagan and Camie Bailey, former owners of
Super Suppers Wilmington.

After five years operating as franchisees with Super Suppers, we discovered our customers would prefer us to assemble their meals instead of the original Super Suppers model of, “make your own.” With that said, we are excited to announce our official changeover to FoodEase

How did we get our new name?

It’s a play on the word “foodies”. If you haven’t heard the term “Foodie” it means “people who simply love food for consumption, study, preparation, and facts about food.” That’s us … and you get the benefit by the ease of delicious ready-to-cook food! And there you have it, our new name … FoodEase – Take and Bake!!

We now have a new user-friendly web site for ordering or viewing our menu and freedom to offer a variety of new recipes! Our “take-out or eat-in” lunch menu featuring hot and cold sandwiches, soups and fresh made salads is continuing to grow and because you asked for it, we now have Wi-Fi and coffee in our cafe area.

At FoodEase, we want to help families,
couples and singles simplify one area of their lives – DINNER

We take care of the hassle that comes with shopping for and preparing your family meals.

Using only the freshest ingredients makes our chef-designed entrees healthy and delectable and contains zero trans fats. We know that everyone wants a meal “just like mom would make.” That’s why our delicious, home-cooked meals are family favorites. Now, you can spend more time with the ones you love and still put a wonderful, nutritious meal on the table.

Experts say that taking time to enjoy meals together helps families reconnect.

FoodEase makes it easier for families to sit down at the table together for dinner. All the shopping, chopping, mixing and prepping is done. All you do is cook it and enjoy your time with the family.

We even have you covered for the holidays! Choose from a wide variety of appetizers, desserts and brunch entrees to complete holiday dinners for twelve.

Sound expensive? Not compared to dining out or your weekly grocery bill. It is hard to imagine that having restaurant quality meals in your freezer can cost less than you would spend at the grocery store to buy the ingredients. But it’s true! At a time of fuel, utility and overall cost of food and living skyrocketing, FoodEase is a luxury that actually saves you money!

Our food is all made and prepared on site here in our store.

Some of the customer favorites include, Asian Flank Steak (awesome on the grill), Parmesan Chicken with Wine & Sage Sauce, Chicken Pot Pie, Crispy Apricot Pork Chops, Sunday Pork Pot Roast, Bruschetta Chicken, Heavenly Chicken, Meaty Cheesy Lasagna, Vegetarian Lasagna, Chicken & White Bean Chili, Eggplant Parmesan, Pecan Crusted Tilapia, Classic Shepherd’s Pie and Breaded Pork Chops w/Cinnamon Apples. Also available are Wheat/Gluten FREE entrees and sides. Ten to twelve new entrees are switched each month. Entrees come in three convenient sizes. Single servings, regular (3 servings) and large (6 servings)

FoodEase is not just for dinner.

Besides more than 35 different entrees to choose from daily we are stocked with many breakfast items, like Cinnamon Monkey Bread and Blueberry Cream Cheese French Toast Bake, or Strata Florentine. Some appetizer choices are Crab & Artichoke Dip, Buffalo Chicken Dip, Jalapeño Popper Dip, and Cranberry BBQ Meatballs.

Veggies and side dishes include Parmesan Garlic Green Beans, Asparagus w/Dill Sauce, Orzo with Grilled Vegetables, Southern Baked Mac & Cheese and lots more! And it’s all made fresh at the store!

Lunch! Bring a friend, sit and enjoy our home-made soup,
fresh to order salads or a delicious sandwich from our NEW lunch menu.

Choose from a Pretzel Grill, Turkey Reuben, Hot Roast Beef, Mozzarella Meltdown, Turkey BLT and more or choose to build your own sandwich with your choice of turkey, ham, chicken salad or tuna salad. No lunch meat used here! We cook our turkey breast, ham and roast beef in the store and cut it fresh daily for your sandwich.
