We had a few new dancers join us for a bit, with one lasting all night.  Cris did a great job, she will be back and with friends.

A big thank you to Dee Blansett for all of her help and Bruce Hehr for helping with music (it is a big floor, so it saves me a lot of extra steps to not run to push play).
