| Introduction | Raised in northern New Jersey, Charles moved to New York City in the early sixties. He studied Art History at Barnard Baruch and sociology at The New School for Social Research while beginning his career in the non-profit sector. In his mid-twenties he lived in Europe traveling with an artist friend in an agent capacity selling and promoting his paintings through European galleries. His travel lust has taken him to the four corners of the world visiting six continents and over one-hundred countries. He retired some ten years ago in the pursuit of writing. Seven years ago, for his sixtieth birthday, on safari in South Africa, he reflected on his past: his teenage years as a dancer on his own local Bandstand; his connection to American Bandstand; and his strong kinship to the music and dance of that time, thus bringing him to the writing of his first book, The Princes and Princesses of Dance. He now lives in the West Village in a large sunny apartment surrounded by trees and gardens and lots of history. |
