Dance Maven

Alissa is my only sibling to follow in the footsteps of our parents who met on the ballroom dance floor and danced together for the rest of their lives. My mother, soon to turn 90 years old, still dances every week.  Alissa has created a website to document her performances and those of her daughter Rachel and husband John as well as those of our mother and father.  The impressive collection of videos can be found here.  I often think of myself as being fairly athletic (my substandard performance on the soccer pitch this morning notwithstanding) but the truth is that both of my sisters are even more so, Alissa with her dance and Mayela with her swimming and hiking.
