Particularly impressive is the 'Dancing' promo, set to Mambo
music, with players making great faking moves and dribbling
past defenders." There will be eight spots, half of which
have been completed. The other half will be done by April

MLS is holding All-Star balloting at the 2,200 Kmart stores

one of the most desirable retail venues" (BRANDWEEK, 3/23).
