Introduction to Dancing

Mr. Irene and I used to perform in a local, Lithuanian folk dance group, "Žaibas" ("Lightening Bolt"). It was great fun, and we got to know many wonderful people. The dancing also was challenging exercise, but the weekly, Sunday-night rehearsals grew tiresome.
 
When I returned to school, we stopped performing with Žaibas. But we didn't stop dancing.
