Hello Dancers,
Happy Dancing,
Tricia Wood, 612-600-5129
 
I usually send out my weekly dance update on Wednesdays,  however there is a 
funeral announcement that needs to get out by Tuesday- Bob's  wife, owner of 
Medina Ballroom.  See below.
 
Also, I finally had 4 hours to dedicate to uploading  pictures from our 
wedding dance onto my website!   Visit _www.triciadancer.com_ 
(http://www.triciadancer.com)  to see  pictures!
 
This Wednesday we're offering FREE SALSA dance lessons at On  Your Toes in 
St. Louis Park.  Every 6 weeks we offer one free night.   7pm for beginners.
