Hello Everyone! Happy Holidays! Merry Christmas! Happy Hanakkuh!
We are wrapping up 2024 and anticipating another great year in 2025!
This past week of festivities in the studio: gift exchanges, Christmas music, snacks, and sharing time and holiday wishes with everyone, has been just the thing I needed to get into the Holiday Spirit.
I hope you feel the same way and the magic of the holidays is evident!
Thank you all for radiating the generosity and joy of the holidays into our studio!
In January we are kicking off the year with multiple ways to get involved!

Level I Tango at 7:00pm & Level II Cha Cha at 6:15pm
