[CMUBDC] Ballroom Dance Club - Week of November 13

Mon Nov 13 11:04:47 EST 2023

Hi all,

A couple of corrections/additions for this week's email:
1. Dmitry will not be teaching this Wednesday as he's attending Ohio Star
Ball. Club president Sasha will be substitute teaching that day!
2. Speaking of Sasha, Sasha and Tommy will *not* be running their Structured
Saturday Practice this weekend. Sorry for the confusion.

Cheers,
Abby, Brenna, Eleanor, Jamie, Jolie, Kyr, Sasha, & Saumya
