       LESSONS UPDATE:  
Our students are doing great!  They only have about 7 calls to learn. We would like to thank everyone that has helped with lessons and continue to need support as lessons are close to wrapping up. We would love to have another square to help mix the students up and help them learn the last, more complex moves. Graduation is May 2, 2017.

FROM HASSDA:
A reminder, Saturday night at HASSDA is traditionally "Red, White and Blue" night, however this is optional.  Don't want anyone to feel left out because you didn't know.
 
Maye wanted me to let everyone know that they have promised to keep the halls COOL for the warm-blooded dancers, so if you're like me, you will definitely want a warm sweater or jacket to wear, one that is comfortable for dancing!
