Dancing

First of all I want to tell you how amazingly impressed I am of your growth over this past year. Imaginitive Arts was developed for the purpose of opening each of you to the ability inside you to reach your creativity and how to share it. This year you have each reached a great milestone in that you are using that creativity in every aspect of your lives. Todays Vanguard on Finances showed me first hand how far each of you have come in your openess to allow the imagination to be born in you. Your end of year presentations and group commercials and even friendships have been incredible. Thank you for letting me be a mentor this year. I don't know if I did much but it sure was fun being there to witness your change. Keep up the good work, you are all headed for greatness in your lives.

With that in mind I want to announce that this week our focus will be on the imaginitive art of dancing. Dance has made a very huge impact on the world. This week I want you to lock onto a style of dance and immerse yourself in it, share it with us.
