More Farewell Cards!

Dance Class Fundraiser!

Our first fundraiser for the Fall was this past Sunday at Dance New Amsterdam and it turned out to be a great success! Above is a video of the final routine that the class learned from the kind ladies at Infin8 Dance. So the only question to ask now is...who did it better? Our wonderful fundraiser attendees, above, or the kids of Shanti Bhavan, below? Thanks again to everyone who came out on Sunday!
