For our Halloween surprise at our First Thursday dance, Rosemary and Ralph danced Viennese Waltz to the theme song from the Pirates of the Caribbean. They embellished their dance with a skit portrayal of Jack Sparrow and Blackbeard’s daughter, Angelica. The love-hate relationship between Jack Sparrow and Angelica created a drama that started with a sword fight and ended in a rather dubious demise for Jack. Next month's First Thursday Dance will be on November 7th. R and R Dance, Rainee and Ro will be doing the lesson and will be the DJ's.
