Entering Jack's pool party on August 27th at the Antelope Aquatic Center, the two high school students manning the front counter sent me back to my car to get my debit card for the $5 entry fee - the pool wasn't accepting cash. Upon reentry, the two girls asked me about my T-Shirt. I had been at ballet class just an hour before. I identify as a dancer. The girls warmed to the subject of dance. They were enrolled in a dance class at Antelope High School, immediately adjacent to the Antelope Aquatic Center, and were happy to tell me about their class - some ballet, hip-hop, and contemporary dance. I think they were surprised to see someone so old who still danced. Upon departure, I gave them just one piece of advice: Never, Ever Stop. Ever.
