    L point to side and hold

at 4pm instead of Thursday due to Thanksgiving.

Happy Dancing! 💃 Happy Thanksgiving!🦃

Good job on the rumba steps! Next week it's time to waltz.

Please remember to sign in when you come to class. Just 

check the box next to your name. Thanks.

I still have some face shields available for $1 each if you

are tired of the mask. Also I ordered some dance sox that 

cover the front of shoes to make turning easier. 

Unfortunately they are not cheap, $5.50 a pair, but are

worth it to save your knees! I will bring them to class. 

New dance steps for this week were the rumba box, coaster 

step and hold.
