ANST - On Documenting Dance

[Russell Kinder]

Thanks, Mistress Gunnora.

   Because I am a dancer and reconstructor of dances, Master Sion's advice is
very valuable to me.

   I do feel that Master Sion raises the bar a bit high by expecting me to do
my own translations. Naturally, he has an excellent command of French and
Italian, but not many of us do. I'd like to think it won't count against me
that I can't translate renaissance Italian into modern English.

   I'll be re-organizing my documentation for my Gulf Wars entry, though.
