THE JAMIE MARSHALL WORKSHOP 2024

 

February 24, 2024

WHAT. A DAY.!!!

We had 50 registrants for THE JAMIE MARSHALL workshop held at the Vineyards Community Park today. Jamie taught 4 dances - "More Than I Can Say", "Bringing It Back", "Electric", and "Hello Texas". We had social dancing in between with beginner, improver, and intermediate dances by request. It was an AWESOME day! A first-time workshop for a lot of people - and the feedback was terrific!
