Great article Lorraine.

My wife has been doing the ballroom dance thing for about a year now.

Expensive hobby, but she loves it.

I enjoyed your write up of the event. We were thinking about going, but between Monster Jam traffic (and the 10 other events going on downtown at the time) and the rain, we decided to sit it out. Sounds like our loss.

The show was awesome, the dancers excellent (and to be honest, some serious "eye candy"). Glad to see the Jacksonville Symphony getting some much deserved publicity and a review. Hope they will bring this back because I believe with bigger better advertising it would sell out.
