​
The world lost a great line dance teacher when Arline passed away in March, 2019. She is greatly missed.
​
And did we mention that she loved flamingoes?
​
Speaking of flamingoes, here's a great shot of Arline and a rather big pink fellow! This flamingo was her mascot when she was the organizer of the Tampa Bay Line Dance Classic. Once Arline moved on from heading up the event, she graciously donated her big stuffed pal to the Children's Hospital at Bay Front!
