The kind of dancing that probably involves cheeks to cheeks, inhaling what your partner just exhaled; the kind where your sweaty palms and their sweaty palms will merge into a joyful, musical moisture.
I’m talking about Swing, Salsa, Foxtrots, Bachata, Waltzes, and trip-provoking Two-Steps that bring delight and presumably good health to millions around the world. “Couples” dances, that until COVID, were brilliant ways to spend an evening.
But though things have changed, there are in Tallahassee, tough nuclei of ballroom and Latin dancers who will do what they must to keep the rhythm in their souls alive.

Macarons at the Woman s Club of Minneapolis
Kevin Winge, the club s executive director, revealed a few secrets regarding the building s roomy, well-appointed rooftop patio. That it even exists is one, and that it s open to the public three nights a week is another. It also has one of the best views in town, he said.
That s total Understatement of the Year territory, because this is the kind of skyline panorama framed in the foreground by the sweep of Loring Park s emerald treetops that triggers dollar signs in the minds of convention and visitor bureaus.

After 47 years
The convictions of the Shrewsbury 24 have at last been quashed. There was a conspiracy - between the employers, the police and the Tory government. Bernard Mattson reports
A webinar was held on Wednesday March 31 hosted by the Public Interest Law Centre (PILC), entitled ‘Shrewsbury pickets, political policing and the state’.
This, of course, concerned the 24 Shrewsbury building workers falsely convicted in 1973-74 following their strike and militant picket. Six of the accused were actually jailed, including Ricky Tomlinson, who today is an acclaimed actor, and Des Warren (now deceased), who recalled his appalling treatment in his 1982 book
The key to my cell. They were let down by their own union, the TUC and the Labour Party leadership, though there was plenty of support for them in the working class as a whole. But their convictions were finally quashed by the court of appeal on March 23 after a mere 47 years!
