Sad news in our dance community: we have lost a delightful dancer, student, and friend. Benjamin Pollack passed unexpectedly earlier this month. He was an eager student, a positive and supportive member of the community, and a good friend to many.
His celebration of life is tomorrow, Saturday July 11 at noon at the Dusty Flowerpot Cabaret in Mount Pleasant. See link in comments for details. You can also add a memory of Benjamin, on that page.
Thanks for the dances, Ben. You will be greatly missed. ❤️
