It’s a beautiful day !!! Today the much anticipated work of resurfacing the roof began! So excited to see this much needed to repair work done to ensure this building stands for many years to come !
Also with several groups taking the week off from their dance practice for spring break this week, we decided to deconstruct and repair the floor in Dance Studio A. Our DIY dance floor has lasted over two years now and it was time to do some major repairs. The roof work will take a few weeks and the dance floor will be ready by the time everyone returns next Monday.
PROGRESS !!! Onward !!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
