June Student Blog – Susan

I am sitting at my computer trying to find videos I took of how to do vagina monsters to put in my group dance, Lady Marmalade, for my second ever student showcase and first at Knock Out Bodies. I am laughing at the other memories such as doing a pole challenge last fall and taking hip hop class and twerk classes in pole. It is not my forte, lol. I …
