what they say...
I had the time of my life taking the introductory series! I take a lot of dance classes to build my skills and develop as a dancer, and when I signed up for the fall series, I decided that I'd take this to have fun! And I had SO MUCH FUN! Each week I got to dance with lighthearted, funny talented, and genuinely kind folks. And because I saw most folks week after week, I developed sweet friendships with the people I danced with. I feel so fortunate to be in the In Lak'ech Dance community and to have learned from Angelica & Jahaira!
