Feel the cheer from there to here, Atomic’s Holiday Hustle is near! Decorations are up, festive music fills the air and the holiday spirit abounds everywhere!

As these final shopping days approach, while so many are out fighting through the crowds, be sure to swing by ATOMIC to take advantage of the
sweet deals with no hassle. Through Christmas Eve, class passes in the form of gift certificates are on sale. You can save $50 on the purchase of a 10 class pass, or even save up to $100 on a gift certificate for two private lessons!

Don’t forget to mark your calendars for all of the special events and festivities to close out the year. For those who enjoy giving as much a receiving, ATOMIC has teamed up with H.A.N.D.S. On International to hold a toy drive for homeless children in the area. The great news is that there is more than one way to lend a helping hand! Your contribution can be as small and simple as donating a new, unwrapped toy; making a monetary donation; or by donating your time to volunteer a few hours in the Long Beach toy store on 12/19 or 12/20. E-mail Genesis@helpingallnations.com to sign up or for more information.

In addition to all of this, there will of course be plenty of dancing! Stop by the ballroom for a festive frolic every night beginning at 8:30 P.M., from December 19th through December 23rd.

On Thursday, December 18th West Coast Swing enthusiasts will be wowed as the ballroom becomes a Westie Wonderland. With a special 1 hour workshop by Ben Morris and Jessica Cox, DJ music by Jessica Tingle and live music by Randall Miran, this will be a Winter Wonderland like no other!
