Essex High School December 2010

We had a fabulous time performing at Cultural Diversity Night at Essex High School on December 2.
Thanks to our family and friends that accompanied us and the overwhelming positive support from the students there.
I think they had fun joining us for a number too!

December Drop in Classes
Yes, December is a difficult time to schedule anything; parties, shopping and such- because of this I am offering a special discounted rate of $10 /per class for the month. This is an excellent time to work out some of your holiday stress, stretch, laugh and have some fun with bellydance.
Never tried it before – great place to start. Haven’t been to class in a while – great way to refresh your brain and body. Can’t even understand the idea of going a week without bellydance? – I’m here for you. Come to CLASS!
I just ask that you shoot me an email or give me a call so that I know to expect you. SEE YOU SOON.
When?
Tuesday – Day class 10:30-11:45 am – mixed levels.
Wednesday nights 6:30-7:45 pm for Beginners
Wednesday nights 7:50-9 pm for Intermediate
Friday night 6:30-8 pm – mixed levels.
Where : December – 208 Oak Drive, Essex.
NEXT FULL SESSION STARTS JANUARY 2011
Location in January: 1st Defense School of Martial Arts, 49 Talbot Street N, Essex.
