For someone whose previous dance experience consists of one hopelessly awkward Friday evening in ninth grade, let's all take a moment to be thankful that there were no reported injuries.

While most of the town remains hopelessly fixated on the declining state of our men's basketball team, I relished the opportunity to see firsthand the camaraderie and companionship of a close-knit, well-coached team.
