💕 That’s a Wrap (Almost!)
It’s been a magical year, and we’re so grateful for your support, encouragement, and the ongoing joy we share each week on and off the dance floor.
Keeping it top-shelf and short this time — lots to do about nothing (ha ha!) — but sending all the love and festive cheer your way.
Final Quote comes from a new dance friends borne out of BBLX – Operation Dance Mutt
“We grow in circles not in corers, go dance with your people”
’Til next time, friends — stay cool and catch you on the flip side!
With love and swingin’ hugs,
Chrissy & Ray and the Swing On In Crew
(That includes our fabulous Deryn & Kellie!) 💋
