 THANK YOU FOR AN UNFORGETTABLE WEEKEND! 

On behalf of Charles and The New Orleans dance community, I would like to thank


you for supporting Dance Renaissance and New Orleans in general. Without you this event would not be what it is.

We would like to thank all the teachers for sharing their knowledge, the bands and djs for keeping your feet moving, the hosts for offering a temporary home to out of towners, the volunteers for making things run smoothly before and during the event and our sponsors for their generous gifts.

I would like to personally thank my parents and Charles for their support and hard work. Without them, Dance Quarter and Dance Renaissance would probably not exist.

You will soon be able to upload your pictures and videos on our website. Start sorting them out to share good memories.

Thank you and we hope to see you next year!
