Dance
If you can talk, you can sing. If you can walk, you can dance.(c) So, join our meeting this Sunday at 12-00 and tell us all about your favorite dance style or show it.
P.S. special quote:
Dance like no one is watching,
Live like you’ll never be hurt
Sing like no one is listening
Live like it’s heaven on earth.
– William Purkey
