Dear Friends,
Happy New Year! It was great to be back dancing.
We had a small but mighty group. We missed you, Kit. We hope you are feeling better and will be back with us this week. We missed you too, Chris and Joe. Don’t be worried about catching up. We will go back and review any moves you missed. More review helps us all.
Don’t forget that this Friday is the Winter Wonderland Level Dance at the Juanita Community Club. Rounds begin at 7:30 p.m. Squares begin at 8 p.m. There will be an after party in the kitchen after the dance at 10:30 p.m. You are all invited!
I’m going to keep it short and sweet this week.
See you Thursday!
Happy dancing,
Susan
