Estrill,

Rebekah and I also knew Katrina when she was in Kingdom and I have to 
agree.   However, I did hear her refer to herself as a dance nazi on 
more than one occasion.   I think what she meant by it was not so much 
authenticity police as fun enforcer.  (Think bad german accent from old 
TV, "You *vill* get to the hall, You *vill *dance, you *vill *have a 
good time, or ve vilk be talkink again!)
