Mostly ballroom

Last night's Dance Among the Stars, an annual event organized by Fred Astaire Dance Studio on Manhattan's West Side to benefit the High School of Arts, Imagination and Inquiry, was quite successful, notwithstanding a few audio glitches. The audience, which includes many high school students, is enthusiastic (especially when there's a grope or, better yet, spank in the choreography). A year ago, we performed our wedding dance there, which was valuable in preventing any stage fright at our wedding a few months later. Being just spectators this time around was easier, though.
