PB&J Latest Notes:

‘Fall into Dance’ is Fallen!

Because of the necessity for Physical Distancing* in the current pandemic.
Dance at Home with your family!

*Dancing is the opposite of physical distancing; we learn to work closely, safely, and joyously with our classmates and friends. Now is the time for dancing solos in the backyard or the living room! Join us for a Zoom Dance Session on Dec 3rd at 5:30pm (see above)

We look forward to dancing with YOU when the circumstances permit in the FUTURE!
