We really miss seeing all our dancers, and we wanted to do something special for our group home dancers who haven’t been able to join us in studio this season. Many volunteers donated items to bring some cheer to our group home dancers, and yesterday, a few of our volunteers dropped off these care packages filled with coloring books and crayons and some treats! We are grateful to our wonderful danceability community for making this possible for our dancers who live in 11 group homes across WNY #tistheseason #gratitude
