Stuff I didn't put in the newsletter...

Ok, a few things I kinda didn't put in the newsletter.

1. Huy and Tabitha are starting beginning lindy tonight at the UFC. (Yes, I know it's raining.) A lot of people have said they feel like their basics are a bit rusty. Here's your chance to practice them. While beginners are learning the basic, it's your chance to clean up your fundamentals with zero pressure. Also, if you have friends that want to start dancing, tell them to get out tonight. This is their chance to start at square 1.

Thank you to everyone who came to Tabitha and I's lessons at the UAH Fitness Center over the years. It's been amazing watching the dancers who have taken lessons starting with Erica Roberts and Huy, moving on to Tabitha and Huy, then Tabitha and myself. We both have enjoyed watching the dancers we taught grow in the dance community become better dancers, branch out to dance with other scenes, and for some, go on to be proficient teachers.
