Superbowl
A few people in the Beginners and Intermediate group have let me know that our practice today (Sunday 2/11) coincides with their plans to watch the Superbowl. Accordingly, we’re going to structure practice so that people missing tonight’s practice won’t be behind for next week’s lesson.
Whether you’re at practice or watching TV, have fun and be safe!
