IMPORTANT! Dec. 8th Cancelled - Rescheduled for Dec. 22nd
Hello Everyone,
With our deepest regret we have to cancel the Dec. 8th Opening and reschedule it for Dec. 22nd. I know everyone is disappointed, but none as disappointed as we are. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Our worst nightmare came true as we received word this morning that due to uncontrollable circumstances that we can't hold our Latin dance party this Saturday (Dec. 8th). We were excited and looking forward to seeing everyone this Saturday as we have been putting in a lot of hours to prepare for this opening. It seems like the township has a couple more hoops for us to jump thru. (Can't say anymore than that.)
The December 22nd dance will be our new date for our special Grand Re-Opening Party. We will of course honor the invitations that we're mailed out.
Because we only have half of the people on our invitees list, that provided emails please call as many friends and family that had plans and attending this dance on the 8th and let them know that we have re-scheduled for the 22nd.
Please check out blog as it will have all the up to date information about our opening. It would be a good idea to check it out up to the time that you leave your house as we don't know what surprises may be in the future. This is our best way of communicating with everyone.
Again we are sorry for the inconvenience and we share you disappointment.
All the best,
Paul and Isa

Stardust Bellmawr Update
Its been a while since my last update. I've been trying to enjoy what's left of the Summer.
Today I visited the Stardust Bellmawr Location. I have good news and bad news. The good news is that the dry wall is done. The bad news is that we unfortunately aren't going to make the September Opening. Its more like October. When in October? Thats in the hands of tradesman and township planning board. While talking to some of the crew there, I was told that a couple a few minor problems kept coming up.
My first impression of the space is that its big. A little bigger than the old ballroom. There is plenty of parking. It looks like its going to be a fabulous room.
I took some snapshots. As you can see there is still lots of work to be done. However the dry wall is up.
