Dear Dancer,
This week begins our November classes, so come join us (though if you have to miss this week, please join us when you can). We are back at The Dudes and Daisies building this Saturday for the morning technique classes and the evening class and practice session. It is a great space and if you haven’t danced there, come give it a try.
