But <strong>bring a dish to share<\/strong> and get a head start on Turkey Day.<\/p>\n<p>Another reminder: <strong>The studio will be closed on Thursday, Nov. 22, and Friday, Nov. 23<\/strong>, as we celebrate Thanksgiving Day. We wish all of our students and staff a very happy Thanksgiving. When we count our blessings, you are certainly among them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our \u201cWho-Ville Holiday Festival\u201d is also just around the corner!<\/strong> We will have a succession of Thursday night parties where we dress as Who-Ville characters. Can we get a Grinch? We\u2019ll certainly get a Cindy Lou or two.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-1809 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-medium'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/moon-valley\/45803450_1474240489386081_4821222406053953536_o\/'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/moon-valley\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/255\/2018\/11\/45803450_1474240489386081_4821222406053953536_o-300x169.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/moon-valley\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/255\/2018\/11\/45803450_1474240489386081_4821222406053953536_o-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/moon-valley\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/255\/2018\/11\/45803450_1474240489386081_4821222406053953536_o-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/moon-valley\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/255\/2018\/11\/45803450_1474240489386081_4821222406053953536_o-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/moon-valley\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/255\/2018\/11\/45803450_1474240489386081_4821222406053953536_o.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/moon-valley\/45019818_1465960010214129_6534918639240347648_o\/'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/moon-valley\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/255\/2018\/11\/45019818_1465960010214129_6534918639240347648_o-300x169.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/moon-valley\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/255\/2018\/11\/45019818_1465960010214129_6534918639240347648_o-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/moon-valley\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/255\/2018\/11\/45019818_1465960010214129_6534918639240347648_o-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/moon-valley\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/255\/2018\/11\/45019818_1465960010214129_6534918639240347648_o-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/moon-valley\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/255\/2018\/11\/45019818_1465960010214129_6534918639240347648_o.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/moon-valley\/45099869_1465952673548196_3241579979145740288_o\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/moon-valley\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/255\/2018\/11\/45099869_1465952673548196_3241579979145740288_o-300x169.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/moon-valley\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/255\/2018\/11\/45099869_1465952673548196_3241579979145740288_o-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/moon-valley\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/255\/2018\/11\/45099869_1465952673548196_3241579979145740288_o-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/moon-valley\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/255\/2018\/11\/45099869_1465952673548196_3241579979145740288_o-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/moon-valley\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/255\/2018\/11\/45099869_1465952673548196_3241579979145740288_o.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>The first Who-Ville Holiday Festival party is <strong>Thursday, Nov. 29.
