After a long hibernation, Bees’ Knees Dance is back and under “new” (or maybe “old”) leadership!

Join us for special workshops on January 20th taught by Zoey Gould and Mark Hart. Both Zoey and Mark have been dancing since 1998 and are excited to share their wealth of knowledge with you! Whether you’re looking for a refresher before the TO Lindy Hop Reunion that night or just ready to start off the new year dancing, we would love to see you there!
