Dana Montana is an
unheralded icon of the American Feminist Movement. By supporting this project you will make it possible for the world to finally know who Dana Montana is and
what she contributed to the gender equity gains we all benefit from today. Most of you ladies reading this came of age as women in an era when you and your post-Women’s-Lib galpals could go to a club or bachelorette party and be entertained by a bunch of Magic-Mike “stallions” dancing and prancing for your pleasure. As a result, over time women continue to shatter glass ceilings holding back their progress. Dana Montana made that possible!
A
successful bestselling book will greatly enhance the chances of a film based on
Dana's life being produced. Dana's Dream for
a film was showcased in a Chicago Tribune article, among other articles by reporter Rick Kogan,
a longtime Dana supporter. Rick's article, Naughty Nightlife, launched Dana's
fame in 1979 when the Sun-Times story was
syndicated. Dancing Stallions, the book and film, will inspire several
generations of women living today to revisit that period of struggle, applaud
feminist gains, and dedicate themselves to remaining proactive to make sure
those gains continue until true and complete gender equity exists no only in
America, but the world.
Abandoned
by her parents, what begins with a little girl’s love of ponies leads decades
later to The Dancing Horses,
an Equestrian extravaganza, part Las Vegas, part Disneyland presented at her
park, Animal Gardens where The Dancing Horses arena is located in Delavan,
Wisconsin, just a few miles from Lake Geneva.
Along the way Playboy Bunny Dana Montana fuels
the ‘80s American Feminist Revolution with the First Ever Presentation of Guys
Stripping for Gals on her Sugar Shack Stage Changing Forever
the Gender Dynamics of the Society we all Live in.
It has literally taken 35 years for the American culture to get to the
point of finally being in a position to embrace an updated, more inclusive book about Dana's life. I am
Richard Louis Bencriscutto, Dana's editor. I walked into the Sugar Shack some years ago,
picked up a copy of her self-published never-promoted or marketed book, Sugar
Shack, read it and decided this was a story that had to be told to a wide
audience.
