cate turns and twists. Deeann
understands the power of
forthright gestures in her
work and she does it with
style and grace. She loves
what she's doing and it
shows.
"I'm happy when I'm danc-
ing," she said.
Deeann and her partner
have been competing in in-
ternational dance competition
for three years. Last spring,
the couple gave a knock-out
performance at the 23rd an-
nual Detroit International
Dance Ball and Dance
Championship held at Cobo
Hall. They walked away from
that contest with four top
prizes, making a total of 11
top trophy awards won from
1983 to 1986 by the couple.
For weeks prior .to a con-
test, Deeann and Riojas prac-
tice for three to four hours
each day to perfect their
dance steps.
"I feel that I owe myself
the very personal rewards of
satisfaction that I get out of
dancing. The trophies remind
me of my accomplishments
and the support I get from
my family in my dancing
gives me a special sense of
fulfillment," said Deeann.
Deeann lives in West
Bloomfield with her husband,
Dr. Marshall Shapiro, a plas-
tic and reconstructive sur-
geon, and her two children,
Stacie, 16, and Mark, 19.
Never too busy to lend a
helping hand to others, De-
eann takes an active part in
the Jewish community. She is
a board member and canvas-
ser for the Variety Club of
Detroit which has 441 mem-
bers and 25 active members
in the metro Detroit area.
The club sponsors several
benefit events each year to
raise money for sick and
crippled children.
As an active board
member, Deeann also serves
as chairman of special pro-
grams and she solicits dona-
tions for the club. She cur-
rently is working on a Celeb-
rity Dance Marathon benefit
being sponsored by the
Variety Club from 1 p.m. to 2
a.m. Feb. 14, 1987 at the
Omni Hotel, Detroit. All pro-
ceeds from the club will be
used to purchase medical
equipment and bionic limbs
for children.
"It's a wonderful feeling to
be a small part of a commit-
tee that has delivered a
bionic limb or the use of a
heart lung machine to a
needy child.
"Once you see the results of
the club's effort, you can only
want to do more. A few hours
of your undivided attention
can do so much to help these
kids."
Deeann also is a member of
Maimondes Medical Society
Auxiliary, an exclusive
organization for wives of doc-
tors. She serves as a volun-
teer for Friends of Multiple
Sclerosis Society and for the
Lupus Foundation. The Shap-

Music and dancing have
been a part of Deeann's life
since she was 3, when her c_=(
parents, Ann and Milton
Waldman took her to the
Paradise Theater to see Cab
Calloway perform.
"I remember it being so
much fun that I tried to run
up to the stage to get closer
to the entertainers," said De-
eann.
Later, when her father •
(now deceased) owned and
operated the Cascade Gar-
dens Dance Hall in Devil's
Lake, Mich., Deeann slipped
behind the stage to watch big
band performers like Skitch
Henderson and Johnny Long
entertain there.
"I had a secret fantasy
about show business, dancing
and celebrities," she said.
At age 14, she won an
eighth grade dance contest at
De Vilbiss High School in To-
ledo, Ohio, where she was
born and raised.
"At that time, I realized
that dancing could not be my
main priority in life so I went
on to college instead," said
Deeann.

earned
Deeann
bachelor's degree in social
work at the University of To-
ledo and later became an ex-
change student at Mexico
City College. Fresh out of col-
lege and "ready to change the
world," she spent three years
as an ADC social worker for
the special services depart-
ment in Kansas City, Mo.
"My clients were Cuban
refugees and my work was
interesting, but rarely re-
warding," she said.
She married Shapiro in
1963.
In 1972, Dr. Shapiro was
awarded a fellowship by
Botsford General Hospital,
Farmington to study and
train in plastic and recon-
structive surgery under the
finest physicians in Europe.
For three years, the
Shapiros, with two small
children, lived and traveled
to Denmark, Switzerland,
Belgium and France, making
friends with the natives
wherever they went and
learning to speak the lan-
guage in each country by
trial and error. The family
returned in 1975.
In 1980, Deeann and her
husband, Marshall took part
in group dance lessons, - or-
ganized and taught by Riojas.
Deeann has taken private
lessons from Riojas for four
years.
Two years later, when the
film, XYZ Murders, was
being filmed in the Detroit
area, music directors, Joe and
Linda LoDuca of West Bloom-
field selected Deeann for a
dancing role in that film. It
involved days and hours of
strenuous rehearsal for jit-
terbug dance scenes. And,
Deeann suffered a torn mus-
cle one hour before the final
shooting of the big dance
