1) Waltz Night in 2 days - Friday!!
On Friday is our biennial (every 2 years) event - Waltz Night, a "Black and White Evening." The evening begins at 6pm with everyone arriving. There are raffle items to check out ($1 raffle tickets available at the door) and dessert items available for purchase. At 6:30pm, everyone in attendance will receive a Waltz Lesson from a professional dance instructor (from Salem's RJ Dance Studios). After everyone has learned the steps, students going on the "Big Trip" will perform live Waltz Music for the rest of the evening. The Raffle will happen at the end of the evening, though you do not need to be in attendance to win. This is a wonderful event - please invite friends, neighbors, and loved ones! Students and parents, you have been sent emails requesting help with dessert items - please check your email. Students performing, you should know the schedule (check emails!). Formal or semi-formal attire required. Here's a link to the beautiful flyer (thank you Jeremy Kraemer!) with all the info: Waltz Night Flyer - tickets are available at the door!
