2020
We survived Covid.
What a year.
Congratulations to the students and teachers who taught, participated on zoom classes. It definitely wasn’t like being in the studio but there were some ups to it like saying hello to parents, seeing the pets, being able to see how the body alignment wasn’t correct in the video.
Looking forward to 2021
