This group is designed to get people mingling with others who don't look exactly like them.

My wager is that you notice a trend toward sameness, and that it nee …

For those who don't know about Chicago Style Steppin', (it is not line dancing!) It is a smooth and sophisticated partner dance somewhat like the salsa, only a lot slower. Chicago S …
