Just visiting from A to Z. It is so cool that you are getting absorbed in dancing! I lived in Seattle for many years & still have very good friends there. I learned to dance there & still return periodically to dance & reunite with friends. I wish you joy & happiness! Visit me at "2-left Feet" danceemporium.blogsoot.com to chat about dance!
