The Danse Macabre

There’s going to be a DANCE, Spooky Lovelies!! And you’re ALL invited! And you’ll show up...whether you want to or not. No one gets to sit this one out. This is The Danse Macabre and Our Ms. Merrick will tell you the story of it in history, art, music, and of course, dance. So, get your sad rags on, polish up your black dancing shoes, and tiptoe through the tombstones with us!
