What's going on - week of 6/16-6/22

Each week I will be publishing 2 posts - Mondays will be articles and reviews. Thursdays will be a "What's Going On" feature, in which I highlight upcoming events and ticket deadlines.

It's officially June - and the start of the summer season! Check out some of the amazing outdoor events that are available locally.


Here's some of what's coming up this week:

6/16 - Tonight (Thursday) at 6PM is a break dance class taught by BGirl at Verve Dance Studio. This class will cover hip hop and break, and will give you a full body workout with strength and core training, capped with yoga and cool-down stretch. Drop in's are $15/class, or the full 6-week session can be purchased for $48.
