Our Story

Once upon a time, there was a valiant, dashing hero who could tango like no other (for surely, none could stumble upon their own feet with as much style and panache as he).  After many a battle upon the polished dancefloors, he retired to seek new ventures.  At least, he thought so until he chanced upon an enchanting maiden who's smile was like a warm autumn sunrise.  Such was her love for dance and life that she inspired the young hero to once more take up arms and return to the clash of steps.

One particularly fateful Hallow's Eve saw them paired together.  In he strolled, bedecked in forest hunter's greens, deadly bow in hand.  Ready for the hunt.  Ready to steal from the rich and give to the poor.  Hero of the people.

There, she waited, wrapped in the silks of the mischievous gypsy maiden.  As he approached, she knew that she had seen him from somewhere.  A hero of the woods... bow and arrow... ah... he could be but one... "Zelda!" she exclaimed.

I jest you not dear friends, as our fearless hero's palm landed upon his face with the force of a dozen angry lemurs.  "Nay!  I am the hero of Sherwood, I am..."

"Link!"  You're Link right?  😀

"...I'm Robin Hood."   o_O

"Oh.  You make a good Zelda though." ^_^

"..."

And from then on, they would go on to seek the forbidden cheese rolls of the hallowed halls of Porto's, cut across the frozen fields of Anaheim Ice, and conquer the chaotic rhythms of Atomic Ballroom.

Entranced by her thirst for adventure, love of food, and delightfully morbid sense of humor, he decided that she may have been right in a sense.  He was no Robin Hood to settle for stealing coin or purse.  No, he would seek a prize far loftier... that of her heart.

And as our fair maiden looked into our intrepid hero's eyes, she knew that she had him.  He had stumbled into her web and he had no chance of escape.  She would make sure of it.
