Unfortunately, I won’t be making the trip to Rochester for the wonderful Steven & Virginie Workshop Weekend put on by my friends and former group Groove Juice Swing.
Of course, you should go, and have one week left to register. And while you’re there, take a nice little walk from their usual dance venue and check out the above Cab Calloway monument that celebrates one of the greatest talents to ever come from Rochester.
