Hey Y'all,

This is Joe. Most of you know me by now, I've been dancing for about a year and a half. Before I go any farther I just want to say that I've really enjoyed my time dancing and becoming part of this great community. I've met more new friends in the past year and a half than any other time in my life. You've all made me feel very welcome and I thank you all for that.
