Firstly what a Fab February as we say So Long to Summer!
I would like to welcome all our new students who have begun with us this year. I love the enthusiasm and vibe you bring to the floor each week. Our theme nights were well received and we have had requests for more so keep your eyes peeled for the next one in your area.
Fiery Fundraiser Recap
Earlier this year we embarked on a Fundraiser to help our Firey’s and what a HUGE
success. We are proud to announce we raised $6636.05 from an enthusiastic loyal giving crowd of 105 people. More than half were from Sydney and I do applaud your support. We had a wonderful team of volunteers who put their hands up to help and of course our music team in DJ Gav Bean and Toni & the Rhythm Cats who gave up of their time to provide the entertainment. Thank you!
