Donna Kajtsa (Illinois) Take care of your smile! I don’t mean whiten your teeth. I mean smile sincerely, smile at your audience, acknowledge their presence as you dance, show you’re having fun. If your joy of dance comes through in your facial expression and your bright smile, your audience will feel the joy, too. Nothing more beautiful in my opinion. Esmeralda (Timbucktoo) Chocolate, lots of it. Makes me happy and when I am happy my dance is happy. And when my dance is happy, I become beautiful.
