Another Year of Love and Sunshine!

 

Last Thursday, we celebrated Sunny St. Germain’s birthday with a sweaty 75 minute Stop Drop and Dance class!Sunny really lives up to her name and she brightens up our community with her positivity and kindness. She bought little yellow heart crystals for everyone as a reminder of bringing sunshine into our everyday lives, even when life throws us difficult moments!

 

"Never met no one like you before.

You had to make your own sunshine

But now the sky is opalite"

- Taylor Swift

Thank you to everyone who was able to make her celebration, including Sunny’s friends and first-timers, Heather Moore and Julie Neustadter! We love all our regular dancers and we love welcoming new dancers too!

Happiest birthday Sunny!

Never a Dull Moment!

 

It was a really fun week starting with Saint Patrick's Day on Tuesday.  We noticed that in addition to those wearing green, the rest of the dancers all wore various colors of the rainbow! 

 

And then there was that moment when police officers responded to an emergency call from our location because they heard screaming women... 

 

HAHAHA apparently our dancing enthusiasm set off Karin Conn's SOS alarm on her phone, which called the police.  Well that's a first... 

 

Also, thank you to everyone who came out Wednesday evening for our Karaoke night.  We always have so much fun taking over the dance floor and this time, we made some new friends too, who we hope to see in class one day!  

Our Beautiful Community

 

"May we always be covered

in a rainbow of hope.

Hope that draws us together

to work out our differences.

Hope that helps us celebrate life's joys

and care for one another in suffering.

Hope that flies like a banner in our lives

and watches over us wherever we go.

Hope that triumphs over adversity

and gathers strength to move forward.

Hope that comforts our spirits

with laughter, smiles and a warm touch.

Hope that guides us

and gives us vision for our future

individually and together.

Hope filled with compassion,

strength, and

enduring

love."

 

- S. Cummings.

 

With Gratitude,

Grace
