I don't think we ever danced together though (me and her niece) but we were in some theatre and choral music productions together. I also took voice lessons from her mom, nice people. As a vocal exercise her mom made me lay flat on the floor in her studio and said loudly "use it" talking about breathing and vocalizing together or something. Not sure I ever figured that out...funny though.
