Longtime student and instructor Joe Suarez moved away this spring, and many students didn’t have a chance to say goodbye, so we organized a Farewell Party for him on Saturday, June 14, 2025. Thanks to everyone who was able to make it! We had food, shared stories, and strengthened friendships.

Joe may have moved away, but he will still drop by to visit sometimes and continue taking private lessons, so if you missed him yesterday, no worries! You will have a chance to say hello again at a future performance, celebration, workshop, or tournament.
