Here are some updates to the performance list this summer. Though I’m focusing on launching a new coaching practice (ask me for details!), there’s still lots of fun to be had!

NOTE that there is no Dynasty Night in July after all – we moved it to August since the club double-booked itself. Smooth!

Hope to see all of y’all this Monday at El Rio, and on August 22^nd for the grand finale Dynasty Night!

Besitos,

Ray Ferrer
