Thank you to Ted Sun for the networking referral!

If you are a senior gentleman looking to rehearse weekly and learn choreographed dances to entertain the crowd, mark November 15th down as audition day!

Thank you to everyone who came out for out donation dance this past Friday!  You all have shared an additional $240 plus 2 full boxes of food donations to help Byron Saunders reach their goal of 7,000 boxes of food for families in need this Thanksgiving!  If you have it in your heart to donate, we are still accepting donations and food drive items until November 14th!

If you want to do even more, we still need 2 more volunteers to join us to pack food boxes on November 16th from 3-7pm.  You can meet us at the warehouse in Groveport or meet at the studio at 2:15pm to Carpool!

Thank you also to those who came out on Sunday to "Spookify" the ballroom for our Halloween parties this Friday and Saturday!  Ruth, Sue, Tom, and David.... you're the best!  We put together the animatronics for our "Haunted House", placed some fun and spooky things around the studio, and got everything ready to place on Friday & Saturday for our PARTIES!  The next step is Thursday evening the staff will get together to practice our Halloween themed dance performance, and build the walls in the lobby for our haunted house.  By Friday night, the experience in the ballroom will be unbelievable, what's your costume?!
