Dear Parents,

This coming Sunday 1/26 is our first class for the spring semester.  We give our best wishes to all families to have another successful semester as well as a joyful new year!

1. New Class – Beginner Ballroom Dancing

This year marks the 15th year of our ballroom dancing class.  During these fifteen years, our dancing classes have been growing bigger and stronger, with the excellent teaching from Wu Ye Laoshi and passion and hard work from our students.  Now we are calling for more dance lovers to join this great community, which you will not only learn the dancing steps, but also the beauty of movements. You will not only have much fitted body, but also have more terrific friends.  So, put on your dancing shoes and let’s spin.
