DIDN'T GENE KELLY DO A MOVIE ABOUT THIS?
Last month's free class brought us a young couple with more than the usual pre-wedding jitters. After four and a half years of working together at Michael's Arts & Crafts, he as a stockman and she in custom framing, Matt Cantone and Kelly Alcott decided to tie the knot. But their wedding date has not been set. On March 5, Matt leaves for boot camp in Great Lakes, Illinois where he'll train until September. He enlisted in the Navy and takes with him our admiration and respect. The dance steps he learned with Kelly will be replaced with military choreography, marching in unison. A good-natured student in the free class teased Matt about having to cut his long hair, but everyone gave him enthusiastic support for his selfless decision. The couple does not plan to marry until Matt's return. When asked if he'd like to add anything to this article, he responded, "I love Kelly and can't wait to dance with her again."

ANYTHING THIS GOOD DESERVES TO BE DONE TWICE Last month we introduced you to Bruce & Rebecca Brandywine who drove over from Tampa to get two dance lessons under their belt prior to the February 9 wedding renewal of vows. If you missed the story, you can read it by clicking on the link to past newsletters. The Brandywines wrote us a beautiful note that we'd like to share. Here they are dancing to "Tonight I Celebrate My Love." "We want to thank you for having such a huge part in making our special night turn out so well. The wedding dance was perfect! We had so many people compliment us and say things like "Did you take lessons?" Even the DJ announced that it was very well done and came over to our table and said "Just a few lessons huh?" We actually did our choreographed dance twice: once for the first dance and also the very last song of the night. We are so happy that all those long hours on the road really did pay off. We do wish you guys were closer so we could learn more. We will not forget you. You helped make our renewal of vows celebration absolutely perfect!" Best wishes to you, Bruce & Rebecca. We'll never forget you either!
