Subject: Suncoast Line Dance Workshop
From: John Dembiec
 
Now that I have finally recovered from the workshop, I want to thank everyone for attending and all the nice compliments throughout the day and after. It is you that bring the energy, passion and enjoyment to our dance world.
Thank you to John RobinsonRhoda Lai and Trevor Andrew Thornton for accepting the invitation to teach. Whichever class was taken, I heard nothing but compliments on all dances taught. For those who took my teach of Haunted, the positive feedback on the dance was not only great to hear, but also humbling.
A very special thank you must be given to Melody Barackman and Dora Radke
 
for all the help behind the scenes with the food, checking people in, cleaning up and all the other little aspects to put this on. I'm grateful for having you both in my dance family.
I'm already looking forward to next year's workshop. As soon as I get everything in order, I will have it out.
