stop his wife from bringing home more animals. He began ballroom dancing
with his wife Kay 3 years ago after his friend's wedding, where
he told her he'd dance with her, "if I knew how." He quickly became a fan,

Wayne Lass is a
retired recording engineer, and video producer and editor. His hobbies
include Model Railroading (building model trains big enough to ride!),
helping his wife with her formal garden, video and audio production,
and of course, dancing. He has been dancing for 2 years, and wonders
“what took so long!” The more he dances, the more difficult it seems
to get. But lessons with Cara Dominick are a pure joy, and always seem
to help make things right.

Barbara Lass is a
Director for Shaklee Corporation, a leader in the Health and Wellness
industry. Barbara skated professionally with Holiday On Ice for 7 years.
She married her high school sweetheart and raised 2 sons. She taught

skates weekly, taking lessons in ice dance. Barbara and Wayne participated
in a dance clinic at an ice dance weekend 2 years ago, and were both "hooked".
"This is an activity in which we can share the learning experience and accomplishments,
and just simply enjoy together." |
