The Chicago Multi-Cultural Dance Center (CMDC) is five blocks from the Chicago Bar Association (CBA) headquarters. Barack and Michelle Obama’s children attended this school for seven years, until they recently moved to Washington, D.C. The Hupy children, although they have to travel from Milwaukee, have attended this school for three years. A Sunday morning trip from Milwaukee to Chicago for lessons at 9:00 a.m. should give you some idea of how fabulous the school is.
 
School Director Homer Hans Bryant attended the Presidential Inauguration and, at Attorney Hupy’s request, got permission to use the Obama name and information about the Obama’s children’s attendance at the school as part of a promotional campaign Attorney Hupy is doing.
