National Dance Day

I went to Emotions Dance Studio (111 N Longwood Street #201, Longwood, FL 32750) on National Dance Day. Emotions Dance was founded in 2007 by Artistic Director and Choreographer Larissa Humiston.
Emotions Dance consists of a professional contemporary dance company
that focuses on social and environmental awareness through the art of
dance, dance education training at the organization’s state of the art
dance studio, and programs that enrich the local community. The
organization emphasizes strong technical training and education combined
with passionate artistry.  Through inspiring performances,
arts-education programs, and active community outreach the company
touches thousands of people of all ages, races, and economic
backgrounds.

For National Dance Day there was a series of performances followed by classes which were free for anyone who wanted to try. When I was done sketching, I joined in and tied some Salsa Dancing.
