I admit it, I haven’t written a blog post in over a month. I do have a lot to tell you about, but haven’t jotted it down (where did April go?). In between teaching and taking many dance and fitness classes, I have managed to read a couple of dance books that I want to tell you about. And I’ve researched some health information that will benefit all of you.

I want to delve into these topics, but right now I have to finish the next issue of the Albany Dance & Fitness newsletter (yes, tomorrow is the first day of May even though you’d never know it by the weather). So, today’s post is going to be short and sweet.

I do want to let you know about some upcoming dance/fitness events that are being held in the capital region. They might even make great Mothers’ Day gifts!
