Written by Jane Pimentel, Line Dance Club Publicity Director Line Dancers A Heartfelt ank-You and a Celebration of Community Our dance troupe's holiday party was extra special this year — an evening filled with joy, connection, and gratitude. At the heart of it all was the incredible generosity of our own dancer, Dr. Diane Hillman, who stepped up and catered the entire event. Her hard work, creativity, and delicious food added a memorable spark to the celebration, bringing smiles to everyone in the room. Thank you, Diane, for sharing your talents both on and off the dance floor! But the night was more than festive food and fun. It was a beautiful reminder of the friendships, support, and shared passion that keep our community moving. Coming together, we celebrated not only the season but also the encouragement, energy, and spirit each member brings to the troupe. Thank you to everyone who helps make this group such a warm and welcoming family. As we dance into the new year, we do so with deep gratitude and enthusiasm for all that lies ahead. ~ Karla Sando, OHCC Dance Troupe President Ocean Hills Dance Troupe Group Dance Drora Oren (L) and our Instructor Christine Alesiani (R) Dory Graham
