Bellydance by Portia

I will be taking a break from teaching this spring to spend time with my family before they are grown and gone! I highly recommend Jenn Osbornes Tuesday bellydance class. Catch her at Zanzilla at 630. I will be back in summer for some 4 week series of good times and fun dancing! Keep moving! Xoxox

It's good therapy! ;)

Just a reminder, no class tonight. See you next Monday!
