Chair's Message Dear daCi USA members, The spring forward/fall back clock change debate has me thinking about the concept of time. Time can ‘fly by’ or ‘pass so slowly’. Memories may ‘seem like yesterday’ or ‘be lost to history’. This is the fourth chair’s message that I share and, alas, they have all been during the pandemic. Looking back at the previous three, I see that I wrote to encourage everyone to find alternative ways to express your passion for dance because the idea of dancing together in-person seemed so far into the future. So, for me this is a very special chair’s message because I am thrilled to finally write that, without hesitation, the daCi USA board is excited to be planning the long-awaited 7th National Gathering as an in-person festivity!
