The twain can never meet because Swayze is now dead. Glad to see his wife was at least dancing in sensible shoes though.

My mom and sister did ball room dancing. I never could get into it, though I cheered them on.

If I were not so crippled and a lifelong clutz, I would love to learn any English and Scottish traditional dance. I remember being entranced by the dancing in Brigadoon and that was just a Hollywood echo of the real stuff. My daughters and I went berserk over the River Dance stuff when it first came out and that is only a shade of traditional dance.

Thanks from me also for the video link, Emma. Made me teary too.
