"If you aren't dancing, you're wasting your feet!"

Previous Programs

Many dance groups keep a history of their dances, a practice that initially struck me as pretentious. I believe I now understand why it makes sense.

Dancers like to revisit "old friends," dances they enjoyed learning and dancing and want to request again. But how to remember them? Why not learn their names?
