The gift of giving.

Article Excerpt
Now that the holidays are coming, it's time to make your gift list. Dance Magazine went shopping to give you some ideas. Four New York dancers from Steps on Broadway model our discoveries: Lucia Campoy (BALLET), Virma Caramia (MODERN), Didi Ilunga (hip-hop) AND Debra Jo Hughes (TEACHER). WE also caught up with four other dancers and asked them that their favorite gift would be this year. Still stuck? Log onto www.dancedistributors.com and get a gift certificate for your dance pal. Aand for the dancer who has everything? Make a donation in their name to one of the dance-related charities on page 58.

But shopping for Mark takes a little more time. "It has to be perfect. He has a huge collection of tchotchkes, so I have to iliad him a real treasure." And if she had all the money in the world? "I would give everyone a raise."
