Thank you for the interesting answers! As a coda to your Derreck Story, let me mention that I recall seeing him and a lovely lady by the name of Louisa win a dance contest at a convention once; and it wasn't for lack of competition.
Thank you for the info about Umbanda. I know we had talked about it earlier in our acquaintance, but I'd forgotten some of the details. Amusing story: Yesterday for PantheaCon I pulled out my apc10 t-shirt (black with a red logo involving spiraling hearts). Last night at PCon was a ritual for PombaGira (didn't attend it as I needed to get home). It wasn't until I looked at the program book that I saw the request that folks attending that ritual wear something red and black and sexy.

I was greatly amused by the synchronicity.
