More classes begin this week – and hopefully you have already signed up – or will do so before the night of the first class to ensure they run!!  Some organizations need to have the full complement of students all signed up to even have the first night take place, so don’t wait!  Sign up today, if you are taking dance classes this January!

Okay enough nagging 🙂

For those wondering about the next Dancers’ Bazaar – I just have a bit more info to organize on my end before the website gets updated, but it will be on Saturday, March 6, 2010.  Set your pennies aside as there are already some new vendors signing on!

All of the upcoming classes I know about are listed below so you should be able to find something fun to keep warm and active this winter!

Have a fun week,
