Welcome Karen, Helen, Agnieszka, Kellene, Genevieve and Lily!!


@Helen - I love to dance too!! Back in the olden days, my friend Russell, who lived down the dirt road from me, and I used to dance together while he was watching his brother and sisters after school while his mom worked. We had such fun!!

@Agnieszka - I had started this challenge over a year ago - maybe more and I saw another group had posted a dance challenge and I stopped working on it because I did not want to have something similar. But last week I needed to come up with a Yearly challenge very quickly and I finished it!!
