👯‍♂️We had a blast at VCU today!👯‍♂️

Today, Alina D and Illya brought the energy and elegance of ballroom dance to VCU by teaching a ballroom dance master class at VCU!

A huge thank you to Eric Rivera, Artistic Director and Associate Professor of Dance at VCU, for inviting us to share the world of ballroom dance with nearly 70 talented dance majors. It was such a joy to bring something new to your dance journey!

To all the VCU students who showed up with so much energy and enthusiasm—you absolutely crushed it! We loved watching you step out of your comfort zone and dive into ballroom. Special shoutout to YOU: come show off those new moves at our Friday Night Dance Party! Every Friday from 7:30-9 PM, we turn up the music and have a blast. We’d love to see you there!
