A quick throwback of the scene and some of your faves! Here in Minnesota we are about continuing to build each other, strive for real change in our community, and to truly be there when it matters the most! Being there for the next generation of ballroom is something us leaders and/or parents take seriously! And yes... In ballroom there is a difference between being a leader and being a parent! We strive to make sure we can fulfill both here in MINNESOTA 🤗💯 by @mnballroom
