ON TONIGHT April 30th! Shop fabulous shoes, support an incredible arts organization, and enjoy a great night out—what’s not to love?

Dance Victoria’s first-ever Fluevog Fundraiser is happening tonight, April 30, at 566 Johnson Street, in collaboration with John Fluevog Shoes Victoria. ⁠👠⁠
⁠
Between 6–8 pm only, 50% of all shoe and bag purchases during the event will be donated to Dance Victoria. Plus, DV subscribers Andrew Beckerman and Anne Ardiel are matching all donations, for a total match of up to $1,000. We can potentially double that amount! ✨️⁠

Drop in for a glass of bubbly (plus non-alcoholic options), light snacks, and a chance to browse Fluevog’s iconic “unique shoes for unique souls”—all while connecting with fellow dance lovers. ⁠
⁠
See you tonight!

We had some very special visitors at the office thanks to Woofability Service Dog Training. Their adorable puppies stopped by for a little socialization session and let’s just say, our productivity may have taken a brief “paws” while we tried to capture a few photos (and enjoy some snuggles)! What a fun way to spend part of our day! Thank you Woofability.
