The floor on which people dance out their lives has changed in dramatic ways. Unforeseen and unpredictable events have washed away the old floor, replacing it a floor, both larger and differently configured. On it more people, many more, gather to dance.

They move to a new rhythm and snap their fingers to a new beat, while swinging with new partners long into the night.
