I'm actually trying to research various dance dates to create an ongoing "reason to dance" calendar which gives a reason to celebrate dance every day.

Once I have some time to do the research, I'll post the finding in calendar form in the "Fun" section of www.dancersdreamland.com.

what's so great about Alex Trebek? it's not like he knows the answers, he just reads the card like every other game show host. Is it just because he's been doing it forever?
