"Dance another day." 🖤
We carry this message close to our hearts this Su***de Prevention Month as we honor our dear friend, Leslie.
Leslie was an absolute force. A nerdy, spooky pole dance OG who was with HOC from day one. Whether she was slaying her famous vampire routine at our first Spooky Showcase or making us laugh in flexibility class while casually holding a perfect front split, her energy was unforgettable.
We want to remind our entire community: you belong here, your life has value, and help is always within reach.
