Wow - what a great weekend for ADTNJ.

Congratulations to everyone on being honored by UDMA and receiving national recognition for our organization. In working for UDMA for several years, it was sooo cool that they may finally understand that that it's all about the dance education of the students and the wonderful teachers that dedicate themselves to their students - not always the business of costumes.

I am so proud of everyone - including the many, many past board members who volunteered their services and countless hours of dedication to build this organization to what it is today. From 1937 to today - WOW!

I was such a fun event and I am so proud to be a part of ADTNJ.

See you at the workshop.

Hedy (Perna, Vice-President)
