The Story

Veronika stood on the dock and stared at the RMS Atlantis, it had been a long voyage. Perhaps too long, but circumnavigating the globe in 1922 is something that requires time. From New York to England, down to Africa through the Mediterranean, crossing over land through Egypt and Saudi Arabia to Madagascar. Then on to Asia and the Pacific Islands. Yes, it had been a long trip but as Veronika stood on the dock of Port Angeles staring at her cargo of treasures being loaded into a large truck she longed to bring back the one thing she truly fell in love with, the world of dance.

---

Veronika was in Anaheim for a reason, she needed a place to store her treasures and with a few donations to the Smithsonian, who placed a couple calls on her behalf, she was able to procure a former speakeasy called the “Spyglass” by locals which was raided earlier that same month. It wasn’t anything fancy, there used to be a brothel upstairs and a small card room and bar down stairs. It was bare bones but it would work. She could make this place hers.

Veronika sat among her many treasures, most of which museums around the world would die for. Trinkets from all over the world, but she didn’t care about sharing them with anyone. They were just mementos. It was than that she decided the one thing she truly wanted to share with the world was dance. This was the most imperfect yet perfect place to do it. She sent out orders all over the city and that night she founded Ye Olde Spyglass Institute of Dance and Enlightenment. A place not only to learn the exotic forms of dance and movement art she encountered on her adventures, but a place that dancers of like minds can create art. A place to call home.
