Dance Family- 
I need to start with an apology that I've been MIA via email the last two weeks, and I'm incredibly sorry! Time seems to simply slip away. My "normal" job has kept me very busy as of late, with our company scaling and my responsibilities have increased. I've found it difficult to find even a few minutes to sit down and put all the weekly information together. I told myself that I could not go two weeks in a row without sending an email! So I've set aside 15 min this am to get this out to you! I will do better! (thank you to everyone who reached out asking if everything was okay. I didn't realize how many people actually read my weekly email!)
