Welcome to the new semester and a new dance semester! I hope the break has been great and relaxing for every body. If you have been sad that you couldn’t dance, we all feel you on that. But now it’s dance time again! YAY! I can’t wait to see you all again.

The first thing we have is an OPEN PRACTICE this SUNDAY (1-8-2012) in the Cone Center, Lucas Room from 1p-7p. You can get your stuff ready for the weeks to come and ask for help from those around. Please be polite, as usually, and thanks for coming out.

Plus, every Wednesday from 8p-9p there will be a beginners lessons in the SAC, aerobics room. Some seasoned dancers may dance on the side, but please note that the class has space priority.

Weekly Dance Update 11/28-12/4

Hello Dancers!

I hope your Thanksgiving break was AWESOME and tasty. I know exams are just around the corner for most of the students and having regularly planned study breaks will be a necessity for most. So I have a few for you, and a good way to get that turkey fat off.

Wednesday, Nov 30, 8-9pm – The usual beginner lesson in the SAC aerobics room.

Sunday, Dec 4 – I will keep you posted about the Sunday Lessons.

Don’t forget:
The club is switching exclusively to it’s Google mailing list and will no longer be using the Yahoo list. Please make sure to send an email to subscribe. Make sure the “To:” field has the following text in it : charlottedancesport+subscribe@googlegroups.com

Thank you guys!!

Weekly Dance Update 11/21-11/27

Hello Dancers,

We are happy to see you all showing up every week to dance. Thanksgiving is right around the bend and I hope you all enjoy your Turkey and other yummy Thanksgivings. If you don’t do Thanksgiving then enjoy your free time to relax and have fun!

This week there will be no dance lessons of Sunday due to the space being taken. I’m VERY sorry to disappoint you all, I hope you find something fun and awesome to do. You can also practice some warm ups or small moves in your living rooms.

Thank you all!
