On behalf of all of Rae Studios, we want to say thank you to all who came out and supported local artists in dance, movement, and wellness at our Boombox Weekend Homecoming Edition. Returning to our dance studio felt rewarding. A huge Thank you to Bay Club for assisting us with larger space capacity and air flow during sensitive times. We still plan on hosting Boombox Weekend with Bay Club along with other partnered locations as well as feature this special event along side other events inside Rae Studios.
We'd like to take a moment to highlight our incredible instructors! Starting off our weekend with a musical hit from Smash, Lara Jean brought the energy in. Veteran instructor JJ and his rich education behind Street Jazz. Closing the Saturday line, we brought in Heels Queen Ashley Worley who got us feeling super sexy in our heels.
The head of the house Jessica Rae got the energy up for our Sunday lineup in her signature Drenched Class! Shruthi and Chandni's PACKED indoor class kept us wanting more BollyX in our lives! Everyone joined in for our finale number (video to come). Everyone gave a non-stop cardio dance performance worthy of a world tour! LET'S GO!!! Thank you to this fabulous #RaeCrew once again. We are sure we'll see another great lineup at our next Boombox Weekend SOON! ;)
