From January 1st to 31st, the exclusive ballrooms of Multicultural Seniors Association held a total of 35 assorted dance classes, including 5 New-Vogue dance, 4 Latin dance, and 5 international ballroom dance classes. In addition, there were several mobile phone classes and English classes.
The first thing to focus on is the grand ballroom. The Grand Ballroom reached an unprecedented climax late last year that is still playing out in everyone’s minds. President Ge often cares about the dance hall and takes time to visit and look after it. President Dou and Vice President Dou are on duty in the ballroom every time. The leaders guide the volunteers to work together and maintain the popularity of the ballroom.
Overview of New-Vogue dance training classes. At the year-end Christmas party, everyone has already seen the graceful New-Vogue dance performance. Under the leadership of teacher Wu Liwen, the volunteers and the dance class worked together tacitly to maintain the grandeur of the New-Vogue dance. On 16th January, the number of people participating in the dance hit a high record. Thumbs up for our excellent teachers! Thanks to teacher Wu and the volunteers for their hard work!
The MSA instructor of the mobile phone class is Sydney Sister Ping, she has a flexible teaching method. She explains carefully to the students during class and provided guidance on taking video after class. We look forward to more students coming to learn and to master and improve their mobile phone skills.
