Good morning,
It’s likely to be a snowy day today, with little or no accumulation, and a high of about 32 degrees.
There’s no school today.
But there is dancing, probably, somewhere in the city: unplanned, unscheduled, unsupervised, and unregulated.
One could not say the same, on January 25th, 1932 in nearby Janesville, as the Wisconsin Historical Society recalls:
1932 – Janesville Prohibits Sunday Dancing
On this date the Janesville council deadlocked, 3-3, on an ordinance that would have permitted public dancing on Sundays. [Source: Janesville Gazette]
Here’s a video, from 2006, of dancers having fun at a jitterbug camp:

They’re having a great time. The sky hasn’t fallen. On the contrary — we’re better for it.
