The other list would pertain to Experienced dancers!
And I do agree with that list....I remember doing all those things when
I was trying to 'compete' with the CDance
clique ... happily I have 'mellowed' with age and experience. Do I still
transgress...sure on occasion I do like to cut loose, but....
I am having a better time not competing.
Thanks Gale
