Introduction

Hi, I've recently moved to NYC from London and am excited about the chance to check out places beyond Manhattan Island and stretch my legs, clear the head and get the adrenaline buzzing.

How often do you play sports or exercise? Wii Sports doesn't count!

Depends upon how much work gets in the way, 3-6 times maybe.

Do you like hiking, wrestling bears or jumping out of planes?

Yes, absolutely, sure I would if I tried.

What other random stuff do you like to do?

Nothing too random, I like getting outside, but often feel conflicted when there are also so many amazing galleries/museums in NYC to make the most of. I love dancing and karaoke and will try hard not to drive everyone crazy singing whilst I hike.

What location are you coming from?

Central Manhattan

Any crazy adventure stories you'd like to share?

  • Hi Laura! This Thursday is a party night! Since you have country dance experience, you'll be able to do quite a few dances on the program. The following Thursday, May 3rd, starts our last series of classes and is a great time to come! Join us on the dance floor!
