Ausma had a passion for ballroom dancing, which brought her to Sault Ste Marie, to open up the Arthur Murray School of Dance. Her feet hit the floors in many of the lodges and halls that hosted dances, and especially the local legion. Along with her dancing, Ausma loved singing and participated in many Latvian song festivals, as well as being a member of the senior's choir here in the Soo, and her church choir at Zion Lutheran.
