We were a friendly group of older single dancers who were accustomed to getting together every weekend for the sheer joy of round-robin social ballroom dancing. And we were always seeking additional well-mannered newcomers who were likewise devoted to the ballroom arts for both recreational dancing and group socializing. But with the passing of our dear Vicki in March 2009, we lost our unique hostess. Now although our dance circle has disbanded, our most favored dancehall is still thriving, is still the best bargain around for dinner-dances, and remains a safe venue for meeting new dance partners arranged by way of internet dating services.
