Guest instructor workshop on Saturday the 7th
Alli and Max are up from Boston to bring us another excellent guest instructor workshop. They’ll be teaching a two-hour workshop starting at 4pm on June 7th, with our typical Saturday intro course and social dancing later. You can pre-purchase workshop tickets here.
We want to extend a sincere thank you to our community members who contributed to our May fundraising drive and/or found other ways to give back to 802 Westie Collective this month! It makes a huge impact and allows our nonprofit to continue offering great dance programming. There’s still one day left in May if you’re able to contribute to the drive. We’ll follow up with exact totals after the month is out but we can confidently say that we surpassed our initial goal due to your inspiring generosity.
Finally, a reminder that June is the last month of formal Wednesday night classes before we take a summer break in July and August. Excitingly, however, some members of our community have organized to reserve the space during those months for self-led Westie dance practice and social dancing! Stay tuned for more details on this offering.
