Happy President's Day!

In honor of Presidents Day, we have Saturday - Monday off! Woo-hoo! But that doesn't mean you have to stop dancing just because you don't have class!
In fact, our first President, George Washington, loved to dance! At his inuagural ball, he danced to a minuet with his wife, Martha. He was also a music lover and purchased many instruments for his home in Mount Vernon, such as harpsichord from London and a Dodds fortepiano, one of the first pianos built in the United States.

Check out some more at the Colonial Music Institute. And have a happy Presidents Day!
