Making the Impact LIVE at Capezio NYC - March 2024
Hosted By - Courtney Ortiz and Lesley Mealor
🌟 PLATINUM PREMIUM EXCLUSIVE! 🌟 Making the Impact Live at the Capezio Flagship Store in New York City! March 2024.
This is very special summer bonus episode from our very first ever LIVE Podcast event in New York City at the Capezio Flagship Store! This live event sponsored by Capezio was held in Times Square on Saturday, March 30th, 2024. We hosted a jazz class with over 40 dancers and our live podcast recording was completely SOLD OUT! We had dancers, parents, teachers and fans join us in person from around the world from Wisconsin, the tri-state and even Canada! Lots of dancers jumped up to ask us questions during the event and we loved connecting with so many fans during our meet and mingle post recording. Thank you to everyone who came through to support us in person in New York City and shoutout to all of the sponsors who helped make this day possible. Stay tuned for more LIVE Podcast Events announced soon! Until then, enjoy this sneak peek into our exclusive Platinum Premium subscription episode.
