This past weekend I got to share the dance floor with a lot of familiar dance friends, and meet some pretty cool new ones! If you missed out on the workshop at Joyland in Sarasota, you missed out. What an incredibly beautiful new venue they have! The dance floor was massive and comfortably held 150+ people for dance lessons. Night time dance.. whew! easily 200+ people on the floor.
