This month's dances are:
Level 1: salsa and cha cha Level 2: hustle Level 3: Argentine tango Level 4: samba Level 5: rumba and bolero Happy New Year dancers! A new year also means new changes, and here's one change that's starting this year. You ready? Here it is...... Our Thursday classes will now be taking place at the Hartford Ballroom Dance Studio! That's right. Most of our classes will be at the main studio at 56 Arbor St! Now some of you might be wondering "well, why weren't we there from the beginning?" Here's the reason: back in June, when we were moving to new locations, we feared that our Thursday classes would be too big for our new space. There was another problem too: Real Art Ways hosts an event every 3rd Thursday that really takes over the entire parking lot. So we rented out the Hebrew High School every Thursday night. In recent months, however, we discovered that it is possible to hold over 30 students in our new studio. Plus, using the Hebrew High School didn't seem all that popular. So we decided to move the classes back over to our main studio. There's still a problem though: Real Art Ways and the 3rd Thursday of the month. For the time being, we will use the Hebrew High School for that day so that we don't have an issue with finding parking. We're willing to give this a shot and see how this goes. To avoid any confusion, classes will be held at the Hebrew High School for the following dates: January, 21st February 18th March 17th April 21st If this idea works, we'll continue doing this throughout the remainder of the year. Well that's it for now. Let's dance through the new year! -Lisa Spiro
