Lookin' forward to that instructional video! We are so "dance illiterate" that interpreting would be in the least disastrous! :P
We are getting more and more excited as the time draws closer. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help!

P.S. What's a star?
Hello, dear Pendletons. A star is when four people stand two ladies across from two gentlemen, and put their same hand, say the left into their center and it forms a 'star'. Thus situated, the four people can walk about in a circle and that is called making a star. This should be fun!! Can we prepare a room for your family to spend the night? Could Joel's fiancee attend? She would be welcome. Love, Jeanine
