Taylor Dayne Australian Tour

Taylor Dayne, American freestyle music, and smooth jazz artist from New York City, is continuing to love her Australian tour and the many fans who still remember her.

The Diva who enjoyed mainstream popularity in the 1980s is wowing Aussie audiences and showing that she’s still got it.

Without her there may never have never been an Anastacia. Almost 25 years ago, the chart success of American dance-pop singer Taylor Dayne paved a golden road for the mighty-voiced white female soul-pop singers who came after her.

Tonight for Dayne it was Selina’s at the famous Coogee Bay Hotel in Sydney’s east.

The sensational Dayne sounded fresh and looked great in a blue, green, silver and orange sequin leotard. It was obvious she appreciated the audience and did a lot of eye contact and finger pointing at both fans and the lucky photographers on hand.

Dayne performed hits, including Tell It to My Heart, With Every Beat of My Heart, Prove Your Love, I’ll Be Your Shelter and Don’t Rush Me.

I loved the way she worked the stool, complete with cross over legs, working the audience, and of course the support dancers followed her lead. Oh, she still oozes sexiness also.

“You can shoot for the stars – and I think everybody should – but I remember having some very frustrating moments thinking ‘God, is it ever going to happen?’ ” she said.

“But from the minute Tell It to My Heart broke in Europe as a single – I remember I showed up at one store and there were 1000 kids dressed like me – I never looked back.”

Ms Dayne had said her Australian fans would not be disappointed when they came to see her, and she was speaking the truth.

"I have been performing for 23 years and I promise I will not come out looking like Taylor Dayne from 1988, but I will take my fans on a journey," she said. "It’s a soundtrack to their lives as much as mine."

The 49-year-old singer and songwriter lives in Los Angeles where she raises her two children, eight-year-old twins Astaria and Levi whom she had via a surrogate and without a partner.

"I wouldn’t have done it any other way, which is the story of my career," Dayne says. "No one has ever handed me anything. If you have a goal and a dream, I don’t think anyone can stop you. Kids and a career have both been the most difficult and satisfying things in my life."

Tickets to some of her Australian shows can be purchased for as low at , so snap them up. If you’re into music with heart and love Taylor Dayne is for you.

The Music News Australia network would like to publicly thank Taylor for putting on such a great show, looking our camera lots, and also the great folks at Lionel Midford Publicity for helping make it all possible.

Support was Andrew Lawson from The X-Factor fame. Mr Lawson continues to improve, building upon his foundation and fame from X-Factor. Mr Lawson was appreciative of the fans and did a good job of connecting with both them and the press that was present. We think his best days are still ahead of him, but it was a thumbs up.

All up, a great night of entertainment.

Some Great Activities For Children
There are thousands of activities for children. Many parents prefer their boys and girls to participate in sports or physical activities, such as gymnastics, dancing and figure skating. However, adults should not forget about the fact that some activities may not be good for children. It is also important to get to know which activities children like, since making boys and girls do what they don’t enjoy is unlikely to lead to positive results. Nevertheless, when children agree to try some sports, it is important not to forget about dressing them properly. Buying children’s leotards, skates or special footwear is likely to be the responsibility of parents.

If children are interested in figure skating and their parents like this sport too, boys and girls may start taking lessons. Figure skaters are famous for looking nice and tidy, so proper clothing should be purchased. Many young figure skaters wear children’s leotards for practice sessions. Besides looking tidy and being comfortable these garments may also be warm enough to protect boys and girls from low temperatures on the skating rink. Besides leotards girls may also wear pretty short dresses, while boys may wear shirts and trousers. It is important to avoid baggy clothing since it may hinder movements and be uncomfortable.

Another great activity for kids is dancing. Dancing may help children learn how to control their body movements. Certainly, this is a very specific activity, so children’s opinions need to be considered. Ballet dancing may be a very attractive form of dance. Children, however, need some equipment for it. First of all, parents need to buy young ballet dancers comfortable shoes. It is very important that shoes are of proper size, since too small or too big shoes are likely to make feet hurt. Second, proper clothing is required. Girls need tutus, tights, leggings and warm-ups, while boys need comfortable leggings and t-shirts. Children are also likely to need children’s leotards, as these are comfortable and may be good both for practice sessions and stage performances.

Most children need to participate in sports. Gymnastics may be a good choice. It is likely to help develop muscles and agility. Gymnastics may also help boys and girls learn to listen to their coaches. This sport requires special equipment. Girls normally wear children’s leotards which should be stretchy and comfortable, while boys may wear leggings and tank tops. Once again, it is important not to wear too loose or too tight clothing as this may be dangerous and hinder movements of young gymnasts. Besides, it may be useful to ask for professional advice of trainers or experienced gymnasts, as they are likely to be more knowledgeable about good brands.

Many parents feel that their children need to take dance lessons or engage in sports. Many children like dancing and sports. So if parents and children are both consent, boys and girls may participate in these activities. However, it is the responsibility of parents to provide their children with all necessary equipment, such as skates, children’s leotards, leggings, t-shorts, dresses and ballet tutus. Carefully selected equipment may contribute to a positive experience, so its importance should not be underestimated.
