(New York, NY -November 19, 2006)
Last Friday afternoon, cable television host, Ken Kleiber of "That's Kentertainment" and portrait photographer, Stephen Mosher (photographer and author of "The Sweater Book") stopped by New Dance Group to meet with director / choreographer, Richard Amaro while he worked with Broadway legend Chita Rivera through the mambo routine they'll be performing together at B.B. KINGS as part of the Broadway Cares benefit event -

"AN EVENING OF LATIN RHYTHMS - with CHITA and FRIENDS"

Although both Kleiber and Mosher had planned short interviews and quick photo shoots during a company break, they were invited to stay the length of the rehearsal by LATIN RHYTHMS' director,
Richard Amaro and were treated to a private performance given by the incredibly talented Mambo and Salsa Dancing Ensemble of Broadway Gypsies and a rare look at the genius of Chita Rivera at work in rehearsal.
Known for the candid yet theatrical style of his portraits, Mosher's preview of the Chita Rivera photos clearly show the joy and passion of both Star and Director as they go through the paces of perfecting one of the many intricate, and highly energic dances that will be seen on Monday at BB Kings in AN EVENING OF LATIN RHYTHMS.
