Q & A Session
The videos are from a recorded Zoom Meeting and the sound in the gym went in and out, especially when the music was playing. So use your imagination for all the chit chat and music ;).
Continue to practice and learn the dances. If your Ward youth are having a dance instruction night, we encourage you to find out when and join in the fun. You can find the music and dance instruction videos on the Trek Music & Dancing page.
