Summary
  1. Tribute to Julius Kaiser, a much respected and beloved ballroom teacher, coach and adjudicator in the Boston area. Kaiser himself traces his career from his beginnings as a folk dancer and notator in his native Hungary ; his study of ballet in Vienna ; his immigration to the U.S., where he was sponsored by the Arthur Murray Studio in Washington, D.C., and received a scholarship to Boston Conservatory of Music through the offices of the Dance Notation Bureau in New York ; his activities as a ballroom teacher and judge ; his current work with collegiate ballroom dancers. He also discusses the changes he has observed in ballroom dancing over the years, and the prospect of ballroom dancing (renamed dance sport) becoming an Olympic sport. Melissa Eisensmith and Bhak Tanta-Nanta, students at Boston University, discuss working with Kaiser as a coach. Norah Dale Allen reads written tributes to Kaiser from teacher Mary French, producer Aida Moreno, and several of Kaiser's college students, who are seen in a compilation of video clips from competitions. Also on video are Allen and her partner taking a lesson from French ; Eisensmith and Tanta-Nanta in a practice session with Kaiser ; and other students of Kaiser's at rehearsals and competitions. At the close of the program, Eisensmith describes some local events marking National Ballroom Dance Week.
