This past weekend there was a fire behind the dance studio and unfortunately the dance floor was damaged by water.We are unable to hold classes this week as it will take time for the floor to be re-done.
I will keep you updated on the situation.
Shadia’s EXCITING “Advanced Drum Solo Choreography” class will start soon. We will keep you updated.
