Dear Dancers, Its been quite some time since we have connected, both figuratively and literally. Our world changed when the pandemic hit and we adjusted accordingly, but in January 2021 our focus changed completely, as our dear friend, Jack, who owns our building and Scranton Music Academy next to us, became very Ill from COVID. It was very frightening, but he managed to pull through and is still recovering. Each day he makes progress but we had to step in and manage his music academy. This was, and is, no small task, as it involves around 400 students a week and 30 teachers in a completely different business! Jack had built his business over several years so we had a lot to learn. It was overwhelming at times, but we managed. Debbie is now managing his business by herself and working long hours to train new admin staff to run the business so she can return to the ballroom and follow her passion of teaching dance again. Our focus now is to support Jack and help him return to his business so that we can eventually reopen fully. This requires an extraordinary effort as the world reopens. Debbie and I do not have the luxury of interacting freely because if Debbie becomes ill, the Music Academy and our business will no longer be able to continue. Please keep us in your thoughts and think of others who must continue to be vigilant against COVID and other illnesses for their well being. We hope you can appreciate the circumstance and we hope that you can wait until we get more staff trained and Jack improves to a point where we can return fully to our ballroom again. Take care, be safe, and we will see you on the dance floor as soon as we are able.

Love,

John and Debbie Urban

We hang our heads in sorrow this evening as our great encourager and supporter, Midnight, passed away at the studio. She fought hard but her Kidneys could do no more. She spent her last day enjoying the sun on our porch and then seeing her ballroom for the last time as Debbie and I danced a Rumba. RIP sweet girl.

One of our dedicated students we love to teach, Marvin, painted a beautiful portrait of our favorite dance host, Midnight! We will hang it pominently in the classic smaller ballroom for all to enjoy. Don’t worry Midnight is doing ok and is staying at home with us for now until we can have larger classes. Enjoy.
