Well, it was mostly an accident. I was trying to find a place to go dancing, and one thing lead to another. Turns out there's still folk in this time that'd like to learn the Charleston, so now I'm teaching.

You dance?

[preseance]

Yes ma'am. Not so much as I used to, bum leg and all, but I never missed a chance in the war. Duke Ellington comes on and I just couldn't help myself, seemed like.

I used to be a ballet dancer.

[ not something she would normally advertise, very few people are aware. ]

Do you still keep up on it by chance? I'd love to learn. I knew a dame who worked as a nurse, she'd been in a ballet troupe before the war and left to take up the cause. Never seen anybody more graceful.

I've found it doesn't leave you once you learn. I'd briefly considered teaching children here before I found more preferable employment.
