Hello Ballroom Friends,

We are creating a summer mailing list for anyone interested in taking
lessons with us over the summer. Please fill out this form
<https://forms.gle/NpmkZz6QGttNnCus8> if you would like to be added! This
Monday, we have lessons taught by our Standard/Smooth professional
instructor, Christine Zona. The lesson location for Monday is subject to
change so make sure to check the #summer-2025 Slack channel! On Wednesday,
we have student-taught veteran lessons. We will send information about
summer lessons, and social events in the Pittsburgh dance community, weekly
on the summer mailing list.

Our Latin/Rhythm professional instructor, Dmitry Demidov, will begin
teaching summer lessons on Wednesday, June 4.
