Upcoming News
Newsletter for January 2012:
Welcome to the January edition of our Newsletter. I hope you have all had a relaxing and enjoyable holiday break and are ready to join the rollercoaster that is Latin X 2012! This is our 12th year of operation and what a whirlwind the last 11 years have been.
This will be another challenging year for me personally as I try to juggle to two little Stutz dancers and run a dance studio!
I am thankful every day for my beautiful little family. However, my extended family of Latin X Assistants and Teachers help me every day to combine my family and professional life.
I thank each of them from the bottom of my heart: Nathan, Stacey, Jamiel, Anita and Meri!
Latin X is still my passion and I thank everyone that has contributed to its success and ever growing popularity.
The 2012 program will be the best yet and I am confident students will find it both challenging and rewarding. We will be introducing a new 1 hour lesson format jam packed with Salsa, Cha Cha, Merengue and Bachata, holding more fun social nights and dance parties, teaching more new Hip Hop routines, bringing Latin Fitness into a weekly format, forming new student performance teams and being entertained by 2 new pro teams!
A big thank you to all that attended our Xmas Party and Awards night held on Dec 11th. What a fantastic night! Well done to all of you and a big congratulations to all the 2011 Annual Award winners! You guys deserved to be recognised.
(And a big thank you to Kevin and Lin for you help and Gerard Marsh for your awesome photography).
I would like to welcome all of our new dancers to Latin X and hope you enjoy your first lessons of Latin, Funk and Latin Fitness! We know that you have decided that this is ‘your year’ and we are so happy you decided that Latin X is the studio for you.
Lastly I would like to wish you all a very happy New Year filled with love and laughter (and a little dancing).
I look forward to seeing you all on the dance floors in 2012.
Join the fun, the dance, the Xperience ~ Veronika
