Yes,  rumor is true- James and I are leaving On Your Toes School of Dance and 
Retro  Ballroom on January 31st!  We are grateful for the experience and  
opportunities On Your Toes has provided us, and for what we have been able to  
give to it.  (No worries, we’re leaving on good terms and will miss seeing  Jeff 
& Cindy daily!)  James and I are both going to work for our good  friend 
Eliecer Ramirez-Vargas to completely remodel his new studio– ERV Dance  Studio 
(the old Foster’s) in Hopkins above Mainstreet Bar & Grill.   (Already in the 
last 2 weeks, Eli and James have knocked out the office walls,  put in new tile 
floors in the bathrooms, new sinks, toilets, took out the  ceiling domes, put 
in a new ceiling, took out the half wall above the old front  desk, took down 
the rickety hand railings, etc.)  There’s more to come with  the remodeling– 
new back stair steps, paint & design, filling and  resurfacing the whole entire 
dance floor, etc.  Then, some good fun dance  lessons and classes will happen 
in that beautiful space!  AND THEN, later  in the year watch for… James and 
Tricia opening their own Ballroom Dance Studio  in Woodbury by their house!  
You can always reach us and we’ll still be  dancing with all of you- (612) 
600-5129!  My dance emails, dance parties,  and dance lessons won't stop!
