I don't believe that these are currently active
guilds.  I'll ask HL Tanwyn to review that.

Cait, I remember encouraging you in trying to get
together a dance group, I thought I also warned you
that it had been tried unsuccessfully at least twice
before, by Baroness Allessandra and HL Phillip.  But if
you want to continue your effort, I'd encourage you to
try to do it at the baronial level, where you have a
better shot at getting more people involved.

I'd love to spend an even a month dancing, but at
present, I'm doing good to get to a single fighter
practice a month.
