Hello
Dancers!!
I hope you
are all doing well and getting excited about the upcoming auditions and shows!
Remember to take good care of your bodies and stay healthy. We don't want
anyone else catching "The Sick" around the dance building, because we
all know how quick that spreads! Keep that hand sanitizer ready and drink lots
of fluids. :)
ANNOUNCEMENTS AND UPCOMING EVENTS
8 am Workouts are Still Happening!
Join us in a nice 45-50 minute workout to start the day out strong! There will be a sign up sheet on the ECDA bulletin board this week for next week's leaders, so if you would like to lead a workout make sure you sign up for a spot and indicate what type of workout you would like to do. This can be anything from stretch and strengthen to cardio or even yoga/pilates. Or bring a mixture of your own workouts!
