Louise has been a dancer in my class for the past four years. She has attended regular classes, advanced dance classes, she's gone on group road trips to dance in other towns, been a regular at the local folklore society's monthly dance party, and participated in public demonstration dancing ("does anyone really know where Macedonia is?"). She has reliably interjected warmth, good questions and laughter in class. It's hard to believe that Louise is leaving our community -- taking off in her RV and heading south.
There are folk dance communities all over the place. However, the town where Louise is going doesn't have a regular folk dance series. Yet. I'm hoping Louise will make that different.
If you are traveling, there are online resources to find dancing. A quick Google search connected us to dancers within an hour of Louise's destination. An email brought multiple immediate responses from people who were so willing to share information about their dances and nearby dances. Open, welcoming people! Lucky people - who will get to dance with our Louise.
