It sounds excellent but is quite expensive; I and a few members of the Dancing
Rabbit Community Project are debating the value of sending one participant.
We don't know anything about the organization or the instructors, although I am
familiar with some of the books. Does anyone on sanet-mg have any advice on
this course or the parties involved? Please send responses to

dancing-rabbit@banneker.stanford.edu

Thank you,
