Greetings!
We've added 3 new features for our students' convenience!
- A summary of what was taught in each class every month;
- a yearly class schedule so you'll know what dances are planned to be taught and when;
- and a DanceWell Youtube Channel of student video showcases. Enjoy!
I'm hoping for some great Spring weather soon!! There's a full moon for our Cinco de May dance on the first Saturday... Mothers Day coming up, National Teachers Day, Armed Forces Day & Memorial Day...
Live a little! Or a lot!
Best of times!
