For those interested in drop-in classes, we have two on the schedule this month before we head into our spring break (May 1 to May 25).
You can sign up at the link below - they are under the 1hr option and will take place the next 2 Sundays at 3pm. It's a great way to try out a class if you don't want to commit to a full session. Depending on how many people we have in the room, we may do something a bit different as well!

Boosting to spread the word!
A fellow dancer has been working on some apps/software development to help out dancers/instructors and is looking for some support while in the development stage. Myself, as well as many other instructors, have been talking in the Dev group for a couple months about the next upcoming app to make sure the right needs are addressed. We are really hoping for this app replacement, as it will make all our lives easier (including students!)
If you want to pass a few dollars along to help make this process easier until the releases are live, I know it would be greatly appreciated by Kamrah!

After such a great show with the awesome dancers on Saturday, I can announce the final number. We raised over $1250 for Grafelman Farms Rescue!
Between all the amazing audience members who showed up and the generous donations/raffles, we're proud to be able to send these funds to help support local rescue work. We know it will be put to good use.
Thank you again! 🥰😻
