Dance Information

Blair and Patricia met Ginette at St Andrews Summer School in 1983. They have kept in touch all these years, and they reconnected at the Paris Branch 30th Anniversary Ball in 2014.

Hénonville is a small village in Oise, about 60 km northwest of Paris, where Ginette's family has lived for generations and where she loves to tend her beautiful garden.
