    Hi James,<\/p>\n

    Your slot 2 should read 7.30-7.45pm. What’s a challenging tasks for you to cope! Are you considering to include line dancing?<\/p>\n

    Lily Ho, shall we perform the Latin cha cha as we did at the last D n D or coming up with a new set of dance?<\/p>\n

    Molly Chus, how about a dance item, perhaps Waltz? Now that the SNF is down with a fever, let’s channel the energy here!<\/p>\n

    Ron Wie, how about getting your jamming team to sing and the dancers will follow in tune?<\/p>\n

    It’s a time to destress and unwind and at the same time riding on the unhappiness that beset us! Sometimes going through a bad patch helps us to re-inforce the good things in life that we took for granted!<\/p>\n

    At this point in life, let’s dance whenever the occasion called for, let’s sing the blues away, let’s live as there so much to live for!<\/p>\n

    Let’s make this monthly gathering something different. Put our hands together to help James. There will also be a lot of new friend to meet, let’s also make it a time for healings!<\/p>\n

    Danz<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    Hi James<\/p>\n

    Thanks for your invitation to perform at your coming Oct’s gatherings. Alice and I are sorry to say that we are not able to accept, as we have a prior engagement on a wedding reception on that day in question. Moreover, we do dance only for enjoyment ourselves and for fun, we do not like to perform. <\/p>\n

    We wish you the best endeavour in the forth-coming dance show case.<\/p>\n

    Ron n Alice Lai<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
