According to Nancy Hemmingway, they were "seven idealistic dreamers who found we were capable of doing wonderful crazy things and getting people in cahoots with us." The Dance Palace began on Main Street, in the old Point Reyes Emporium building (now housing Cabaline) - a building that was without heat through the first winter. ...
