Week 2 Almost Through!
This week’s first two dances held on the tennis courts were a huge success! Rumour has it some parents were trying to peak through to view the top secret epic dance moves by coaches and Seahorse dancers alike. And our first every Tank Yoga happened on the dock!
If you missed the Seahorse Welcome Video, here is the link to watch it, or watch again at your leisure. (You might want to skip to the 5-minute mark where the real show begins).
