Summer practice sessions
We are trying something new for the months of July and August. Typically we close for these months but this year we are keeping the studio open on Wednesday evenings to host a practice session and social dancing for those of us who can’t go a whole summer without Westie! This will be freeform time to practice your dancing without the structure of a class. Bring your questions about technique, a move you saw on Youtube, or a song you’re wondering is Westie-able. You can drop in to work on these things with your peers in an informal space.
Note that we will not be holding a first Saturday social in July or August. The next Saturday dance will be on September 6th. Keep a lookout on our social media channels for dance opportunities over the summer.
A final update on our May fundraising drive: we ended up totaling $2,647 in donations toward the campaign. These contributions keep our community financially viable and able to continue providing great West Coast Swing programming in Burlington. Thanks again to everyone who contributed!
