"Dancers" in Western North Carolina

Many people would fit into this category.

I want to mention in this post two dancers / entrepreneurs from the Asheville, North Carolina area. I was visiting Asheville and Brevard and Hendersonville two weekends ago and I saw two businesses that are owned by people who are also famous famous dancer choreographers. The coincidence seems worth noting here.

One was MARK MORRIS, whom most know as person of joyful movement (The Hard Nut Nutcracker "parody" and Gloria are especially celebrated works of his), but might be more celebrated in Western North Carolina as a realtor.

The other is PAUL TAYLOR, an ingenue of American modern dance (see Esplanade, in order!! and the more recent Promethean Fire), and of hand-made sandals.
