Illustration of Charley from The Great Theatre Rescue, tap-dancing. Text reads: Dancing was in Charley's actual bones. There was nothing she loved more than dancing. Dad said she could dance practically before she could walk! She knew all the latest dance crazes that had whizzed their way across the Atlantic: the Charleston, the Shimmy, even the Lindy Hop. She genuinely lived to move.
