classes with the Alvin Ailey Dance
Company. She appeared on MTV
and at clubs. Her most exciting
experience was dancing at the Radio

Stein, now a graphic artist for
Young & Rubicam, is trying to
organize swing dance events in
Metro Detroit.
"I'm working with the Detroit
Lindy Exchange, which is part of a
network," explains Stein, also a salsa
teacher. "The network chooses cities
for special swing events, and dancers
travel to each of those cities for pro-
grams and tours. I went to events in
Cleveland, and I hope we can have
something similar in Detroit.
"I miss all the dancing in New
York, and I don't think there's any
reason not to have swing events in
Michigan. Nothing makes my life
happier than dancing."Th
Gotta Dance
Stein, a single Ferndale resident,
learned swing from her parents and
stepparents, Robert and Frances
Stein and Deborah and Kenneth
Tucker, and grandparents Daniel and
Roslyn Haron, while she was grow-
ing up in Troy and using the given
name Julie. Her name changed after
junior high school when her step-
dad gave her a Hebrew name for the
first time.
After graduating from Michigan
State University as a communica-
tions major, living in Israel for a year
and working in Michigan as an assis-
tant director of B'nai B'rith Girls,
Stein moved to New York, working
as a graphic artist during the day and
either working or socializing in the
swing dance scene at night.
"When I lived in New York, the
swing dance craze was coming into
its own, and I felt very much a part
of it," says Stein, whose identical
twin sister, Lysa Postula-Stein, is a
lawyer who also loves to dance. "I
used to compete with professional
dance teams."
