Dance lists for the week of June 28 - July 2

Our social is this Tuesday evening, 7:00 - 9:00 pm. List is in the post below this one.

Since this is Canada Day week, almost every dance (in class, not the social) has a Canadian connection, either Choreographer or Artist. We're going to go a bit faster to fit in as many as possible.
