Unfortunately, we were not treated to the actual dances themselves. But, to be fair, the important action was happening off stage, with (you&#8217;ve guessed it) a murder!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The City Adventurers came up with a reasonable idea on who was responsible&#8230;&#8230;.then came the night of the interrogations.
