Back to the Floor Gala a HUGE Success!
Saturday, September 22, was a special date here at the studio. Some 300 people from all over Houston and from as far away as Victoria, Dallas and San Antonio gathered at The Dance Place to help raise funds for a comrade in need.
One of our Teachers, Ron Leverett, was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year and is undergoing treatment. We put together a nice shin-dig to help raise money to cover his living expenses while he's unable to work. There was a silent auction, a raffle and a high-powered show put on by students and teachers from around the city.
Everything went super well, with Mr. Jason Kaye acting as our MC, Mr. Scott Wallace functioning as our DJ, and fabulous dancers performing a variety of dances in all styles. We had Argentine Tango, Country Western, American and International Ballroom, American and International Latin and even some Interpretive routines performed during the 3-act show.
The dancers all performed at extremely high levels and the audience was very receptive, which made for a very rewarding evening for everyone. Ron is so appreciative of all that the dance community is doing for him and sends you all his love and thanks.
