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- • intersection at Maple'15 & Pontiac Trail) W.

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. her 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
