Music & Dance

SEVEN rules the roost ! The seven – year itch, The seven colors of the sagacious spectrum…. and of the rainbow, The seven wonders of the world, The seven notes of music. What else do we want? Life is celebrated in the music hobby. From the first step of a toddler to negotiating all those contours of a dance performance – evolution of humankind on a mini-scale. Dance – the natural heir to music. And, thus the hobby.
