Note from Cecelia: This was such a magical moment. These three did Haniotikos and no one else knew the dance. They went round and round in such unison. A marvel to behold our mentors! They got big applause afterwards. There were a lot of those times where we all applauded after a dance. Jill and Susan said that they wished they were smiling but that we could post the photo.
