Hello dancers!

The weather is turning chilly, the sun is setting earlier, and somehow we’re already at the end of the first weeks of October! What a fantastic Birthday Bash it was! It’s taken a little while to catch up on news, updates, and all the little things that got put on the back burner while we were busy planning and running the Bash, but Monday nights have been going strong right through it all. Our beginners raved about the instruction, and we even learned a new mixer dance, thanks, Matt! Kudos to Korinthian, as well as Katelynn and Tony, for rounding out the Bash crew! With the Friday Night Live season winding down, there are fewer bands and meetups to share, but there’s still plenty happening on the dance floor. So grab a sweater, bring a friend, and come spend your Monday night dancing with us. If you want to meet at specific venues let us know we will add them to the newsletter.
