Holiday Trophy Ball — Thank you to all who joined us!

Thank you to all our students who joined us for our Holiday Trophy Ball!

Fred Astaire New Jersey’s 2016 Holiday Trophy Ball was a wonderful success! The event took place at the Imperia in Somerset, NJ on Sunday, December 4th.  Chris Vecchiarelli, Mollie Lawrence, Erica Peitler, Larry Berger, Jenn Barenbaum, Tammy & Phil Siana, Alexandra Kiely, Joanne Johnson, Denise Addis, Iris Ng, Rika Yamaguchi & Halina Kolano were all part of the Morristown crew in attendance at this event.  We all had a great time celebrating and getting to know each other better!

The party was truly what celebrating was all about — good company, good times, and lots of fun and dancing!  The DJ played an entertaining mix of dances ranging from Foxtrot to Hustle.  A beautiful vocalist provided entertainment as well, singing songs that put you in the holiday mood and made you want to dance!

Not only was the event a celebration of the Holiday Season, we also celebrated the achievements of our student dancers who passed into new levels of their dancing!  Recipients performed a simple demonstration of their abilities to dances such as Swing, Waltz, Tango, Cha Cha and more.
