Hollywood Holiday
Dec. 15
lesson at 7:30pm
dancing at 8:00pm
program at 8:20pm
All school rehearsal, Sat., Dec. 9, 11:30AM to 2:30 was a SUCCESS!
We started with the finale--that whole thing was a completely new and different experience for most of our dancers. It's going to be fabulous!
We had sandwiches, fruit, veggies, cookies, cake from Andy, Michelle, Lynn, Susanne. Clean-up is most credit to Oksana. Thank you everyone!
I was tired and terse BUT I got you through the material and our staff wants very much for you ALL to be proud of your performances and to want to share videos with your friends and families. Got to look good for that!
Thank you for your efforts and CONGRATULATIONS!
