Did somebody say "Dance Gypsy"?

Dance Gypsy (n)
Someone who frequently spends more time travelling to and from a regularly scheduled contradance than dancing at that dance.

I've never driven more than six hours one-way to attend a three hour dance, but I've driven up to 18 hours for a weekend. So far I've danced in 26 American states.
