Q2 - Mid Year Update for DFW Young & Social
Hello everyone! We hope you're staying cool this summer. As always, we provide these updates as our dedication and duty to be as transparent as possible. While this may look like a lot of updates over the past 6 months, it's important we find the right rhythm as we continue to grow.
Addition of Class/Event Multi-Packs
We've heard your feedback and understand the desire to attend more classes and events at an affordable price. While our prices are already low, we know everyone is feeling the pinch from inflation. It's our duty as an organization and community to ensure everyone has equal opportunities to engage in our activities. That's why we're excited to roll out our new Class/Event Multi-Packs!
These packs are available in bulk options of 3, 6, and 10, offering great value and flexibility. Each pack comes with a 6-month expiration date, giving you plenty of time to use them across different events. Please note that all passes are non-refundable and non-transferable, though Marco & Alexi reserve the right to make exceptions. We hope these packs make it easier for you to join us more often and enjoy everything we have to offer.
Monthly Membership (MAJOR CHANGES)
And yes, hopefully, this will be the last time! We've heard your feedback about our memberships not providing enough value. Trust me, I felt the same way but couldn't think of a better model—until now! With the addition of new fitness classes, more dance classes, and 4-8 crafting classes monthly (with more on the horizon), we can now offer a revamped membership model.
The new monthly memberships are:
Bronze: 10 classes for $100 monthly (10 per class/event)
Silver: 15 classes for $135 monthly (9 per class/event)
Gold: 20 classes for $160 monthly (8 per class/event)
Classes are based on the date of purchase and will be valid for one month from that date. You may cancel at any time, but the cancellation will only take effect in the following billing cycle—no prorated refunds. Previous members will be grandfathered in with their current memberships as legacy memberships, which will remain active as long as they aren't canceled or transferred over.
New Fitness and Zumba Instructors
We're thrilled to welcome two fantastic instructors to our team! You may already know them from other events:
Meet Chelsea,
Your Fitness Instructor
Chelsea is a jack-of-all-trades, eager to try any activity. With over 8 years of experience in fitness instruction, she’s been a physical therapy technician, personal trainer, running coach, and group exercise instructor. Chelsea also practices martial arts and participates in social dance and Japan’s group dance style, yosakoi. She believes in healthy living and community involvement.
Chelse will be teaching two classes each Wednesday and one workshop monthly:
Circuit Training - 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM
Social Fitness Class - 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM
Rotating Fitness/Wellness Working Saturdays 10am to 11:30am
Meet April,
Your Zumba Instructor
After taking her first Zumba class in 2019 she immediately fell in love and became a Zumba instructor at Crunch Fitness in 2021. Her classes emphasize creating connection and having fun while engaging in a full-body dance workout. Outside of Zumba, April is currently a CMHC student at Tarleton. She enjoys events planning, boardgames, social dancing, art projects, trying new activities, and sharing mediocre dad jokes.
April will start with one Zumba Fitness Class every Sunday from 2pm to 3pm
We can't wait for you to meet them and join their classes; they bring great energy and expertise to our community!
New DFWYAS Discord Moderator
Give a warm and familiar welcome to our newest Moderator, Michelle! She has been a long-time member and our dedicated Crochet Instructor. She has shown that she has a large amount of competence (significantly more than I do) on running and expanding a Discord Server. Michelle has already shown great progress but creating truly wonderful emoji’s that are specific to DFW Young & Social. I am excited to see how the server grows under her leadership!
Wow, it's been 2 years since we started, and what a journey it's been! We've grown from hosting a single hangout a month to offering over 50 classes, socials, and events monthly. This wouldn't have been possible without your enthusiasm and support. Each one of you has played a part in building this incredible community, and we couldn't be more grateful.
As we move forward, your feedback and suggestions are key. We're always listening and eager to improve. Thank you for being a part of DFW Young & Social. Your presence makes all the difference, and we look forward to creating more wonderful memories together.
