Anybody who pretends to dance well never thinks about the step he's going to do, what he cares about is that he follows the music. You see, we are painters, we paint the music with our feet. Musicians play an instrument and use their fingers, their hands. Dancers use their toes.” Carlos Gavito Thursdays beginning Jan 18, 8:30 – 9:30 pm for 6 weeks ISU Students $35, Public $40        • Ballroom Dance      Fridays, TBA.    Contact Debra Atkinson (663-5099) to register.
