Hello dancers! You guys are on fire right now! Great turnouts at the WSDS Christmas party, Harry's Christmas party, last Sunday night, and the Shadow this past Tuesday. If you aren't out dancing you are missing out!
Very important note about this Sunday: It's your last chance to pay for the NYE party in advance. Dancing from 9 PM - 1 AM with the Dance Man Ronnie Choy and a midnight breakfast can be yours for JUST $10! But only if you remember to sign up this Sunday. Otherwise you'll be stuck paying $15 at the door. Don't miss out on a great chance to swing in the new year!
