A Note from Linda…

Tonight’s program includes current students, and those involved in the day to day running of DanceWell. We have such fun producing these events! Especially moments shared in this AWESOME time of year! It all makes for great memories!

Young and young at heart, these are all fantastic people to know and I thank every one for being just who they are.

All involved have put great effort into doing their best for the show, wanting to share their joy with you and support each other. We ask you all to ENCOURAGE OUR DANCERS, and HOOT AND HOLLER for the EFFORTS MADE. It can be nerve-wracking being in front of the masses!

After the show we’ll take a photo, then enjoy 3 rooms of dancing — a Variety Social room, a Swing & Lightshow in another and a Salsa room.

Life, Love and Laughter, Linda Springstead
