the Bboying class and the Open Jam are ON tonight (tuesday), but check again for tomorrow.... see you all tonight!!

Ddimplz is out of town and so am I this Friday so we'll have to cancel the House class. Please pass the word!

If you've been around Sweatshop lately you have probably noticed that the studio building has been undergoing renovations and possibly next week I might have to close the studio for around a week because they will be destroying and replacing the exterior wall. Right now the timing is all approximate so please keep your eyes open for updates on the timing because they aren't giving me much information or notice.
