Hello Dance friends- 
I apologize for not sending out my weekly blast last week, I have been overwhelmed with my daytime job, and since I was out last week, I got behind and had to catch up. I was at the H.O.T dance event and it did not disappoint! Had the opportunity to share some new dances, and meet some wonderful new friends! Thank you to everyone who attended the event and supported me by coming to the workshops! I enjoyed being a part of the Saturday show, the energy in the room was electric which allowed both the attendees and instructors to have some great memories. 

I'm sorry I missed you all Saturday night as well- I'm sure Brandon did a fantastic job of keeping you busy! Our family was in Alabama to visit some of our closest friends - "The Kelly's!" It was their daughter Addison's 1st Birthday. We couldn't miss it!
