In a realm where dreams dared to dance, a vision unfolded: four days of entrancing melodies, a celebration of movement in song. Skeptics doubted, yet the dream soared into reality.
Move I: Move Over, February! sparked the odyssey, a bold rhythmic venture, captivating the soul. Next, Move II: Smove Moves unfolded, a tapestry of beats that enlivened and enthralled, a true testament to melodic innovation. Move III: Moves on Hooves then galloped into the fray, a regal and spirited symphony that captivated hearts.
Now, the journey circles back to its grand finale. This Friday, we revisit Move IV: FGF, the crown jewel of this musical quest. Awaiting its encore with eager anticipation, we stand poised to be swept once more into the dazzling realm of rhythm and harmony, where each beat promises to be a momentous celebration of movement and music.

Martin Luther King, Jr. said that “Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.” I say, why can’t that be a dance step? Sometimes I wonder, why am I dragging myself out of bed to dance on Zoom? And then I see the joy it brings to people I love, and I’m glad I took that first step. You never know what change bringing a little joy into the world will make.
Thanks Everyone for joining today! What a lovely surprise to have Eric join us at the end with his exuberant and creative moves!
