Annual Winter dance school came a bit earlier this year to Maribor, due to earlier school winter holidays, but other than that, things that make this 4 day dance school so cool stayed the same - amazing teachers, great young dancers and relaxed atmosphere. And yeah, things got back to old, pre-COVID-19 times :)
This was already ninth Winter dance school photo documentation in a row for me, next year will be 10th! Already looking forward! :)
