I would be one of those dancers!  Having dance in the tent during the 
first week meant that I got to dance *at all,* and that I got to dance 
dances that I could not possibly do in the barn (i.e., Gracca).  The 
older I get, the less I am able to dance in the barn--my feet and 
ankles swell horribly, and the old fracture I have in one foot gets 
very painful.

Since the activities I am required to do during the second week usually 
require a lot of standing for long periods of time, they generally 
preclude my participating in evening dance.  This year, catching a 
nasty cold during the second week kept me home most nights.  As such, I 
was really grateful for being able to dance the first week!

We have that great floor--let's use it as much as we can!

Ciao,
