Hi Tina,

I'm so excited to learn how to dance!  I have to admit, after the 
meeting I went
back to my dorm and watched "Dirty Dancing."  Unfortunately, I'm going 
home for
the weekend and won't be back until Sunday night so I will being missing the
first practice.  Will this be a problem?  Am I going to miss all the basics??
