This Weeks Highlights
- To begin with Karen & I would love to thank Everyone for the
Support in our 6 years of running Dances. The Evening could not have
ran better - The Argentine Dance Team of Adriana & Orlando
delivered 4 great routines and Karen & I put forth a New number
that was excellently received ( This was the first time we ever
performed this number) - As we performed Louis Del Prete stepped in as
the DJ to run the music so I could mentally prepare - Thank you Lou
