Deni Hensey of Lewes is of-
fering dance lessons every
Tuesday night at Bethel
United Methodist Church in
Lewes. Hensey is shown with
her former partner, Mazen
Hamza, during competitive
dance.

the last seven months in
competition and were in
contention for a possible
spot in the next Olympics in
which ballroom dancing will
be an exhibition sport.
