Marietta Class: Tuesday, 11/5/2019
Dear Dancers,
Can you believe it’s the first of November and we are now being bombarded with all the upcoming holiday hoopla? But first, we catch up on our lost hour of sleep when Daylight Savings Time ends this weekend. We have one more class before our social on November 9th, so here are the dances we will be practicing on Tuesday.
