Sometimes we have diamonds in our very own backyard and we never really see them. One of our shining, multi-faceted diamonds is Jim Clemens, owner and instructor at
Modern Steps School of Dance. You have probably seen Jim at the studio teaching lessons, or dancing at a competition, winning great accolades with his students and for the studio. But you may not know that he is also a popular singer with a local group of entertainers called the Consecutones. The trio of Jim, Antoine "Motown" Walker and Steve Fenntiman perform a wide selection of favorites from the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's and you can see them on Friday nights in July at
Bill's Steak and Seafood Restaurant, located at the corner of Lakewood Blvd and Tamiami Trail East in Naples. Not only can you get a great meal at Bill's, but you can enjoy this talented group of gentlemen as they bring back oldies and our favorite love songs from 6:30-9:30pm.
Social dancing is one of Jim's passions, and you usually see him on Friday night dancing with students at Bill's and enjoying the music from the dancer's shoes he wears so well. He has another side that we don't see as often, but his wonderful renditions of our favorite songs are a testimony to the shiny facet that you don't want to miss on this gem we are proud to call one of ours

In addition to enjoying the great music, friends get together to dance and enjoy an evening out at Bill's. You will often see students and friends of Modern Steps out enjoying the music and dancing around town at various venues. Social dancing is just that--a great way to meet friends, dance and feel the joy of the music, all wrapped up in one great package.
