In Brussels!
We’ve lost track of the days but it’s only because we’re having too much fun! Our YSA activity in Paris was a blast and tonight we got to perform for many EU officials and ambassadors from all over the world! (See our Instagram story for more on that). It was such a pleasure to share our talents and we’re so happy to be in Brussels. Tour is the best way to make new friends! Also, check out last nights performance venue! The ladies dressed in the horse and elephant stalls because the Cirque D’hiver is a cirque ring. Tomorrow we head back to France!

The Latin team will dance tomorrow night at 9:00pm England time. The link in our bio will take you to the website where you can stream the competition live.
