December

Tuesday, December 13, 2022, we danced at Dance Spot of DuPage. This was our final meeting of the year with holiday-themed dances. The plan had to be tweaked a bit due to people testing positive for covid and being caught up in preparing for travel or visitors, so the class was smaller than expected. But we had fun and got through several of the planned dances. We will re-start classes January 3rd.
