For May’s Pop In & Sip Awhile, we ended up rallying the crew and hosting our little open house on Honey’s birthday. Having a party for his 50th last spring was already a stretch for him.

Her technique, poise, artistry and confidence brought tears to my eyes more than once. She is still one of the tiniest dancers up there, yet… Read More
