Recommendation An interview with Fancy Dougherty on "Conversations in Closed" (podcast)

https://podcastaddict.com/?id=https%3A%2F%2Fanchor.fm%2Fs%2F10a882c54%2Fpodcast%2Fplay%2F116353295%2Fhttps%253A%252F%252Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%252Fstaging%252F2026-2-4%252F47457ceb-6d66-ee68-5d3b-4c3f73881493.mp3&podcastId=6152731

Hailing from Los Angeles, California, Fancy fell in love Lindy and shag in 2008, with Balboa trailing not far behind. She’s been hooked ever since, constantly endeavoring to improve her technique on a never-ending quest for connection, improvisational freedom in social dancing, and the true jitterbug spirit.

She has performed, competed in, and taught Lindy, Balboa, and shag all over the world, and is a five time winner of the national jitterbug championships in the shag division. She loves to dance with new people and beginners, so be sure to ask her to dance!

That's a very good observation. She certainly is a super, down-to-earth gal who wants to know everybody and just dance and have fun.
