Wow... So I think this is a really great idea.  And I think it would be 
allot of fun to do.  We could come up with a pretty simple script and base 
it in historical context as well.  Something like an Elizabethan Ball 
looking back at historical dances and current trends.

It also works well to get past the distance issue or availability issue.  
For example there are still some of us who don't have the Sutton video to 
learn La Caccia d'Amore.  And we seem to be hitting different events and 
demos - not having a place to come together.

But - we have lots of time to think about 25th year - I suppose we will hear 
more from Isabeau on this next week.  Still - good idea Tahira - thanks for 
posting!  I hope we go with it.
