| Dance has played such an important role in my life. I was about 11 yrs old when I discovered the funny dance called the 'Twist' My family moved to Washington DC in the early 60's and it was then I discovered, much to my surprise, my natural talent of dancing. Some African American families had a dance party for the students of my elementary school. They all said 'I had the rythum'. Years later, after much formal training, I was hired to teach at the Authur Murray Dance Studio in Harrisburg Pa and discoverd the joy of dance in the formal Ballroom style. As a Private and Group Dance Instructor ( average of 30 students in one class), it became my 'drug of choice', dancing at a different club often 6 nights a week. I have had many dance partners starting with my dear sister Robin who died from cancer when only 28...She was my favorite, performing moves I have yet to duplicate with anyone. I no longer teach...but the joy flows from my feet and heart every day. My favorite dances included the Foxtrot, Rumba, Hustle, Waltz, Cha Cha, Polka, Swing, Rock n Roll Jitterbug, Salsa, Country 2 Step. Even taught the young kids to Moonwalk, Pop n Lock and Freestyle.
