Fall Season Starts THIS WEEK + Steppin' Out September News

Welcome back to fall! We are very excited to get back to dancing with you. Our classes begin THIS WEEK, so please be sure to use your Zoom links to join us. (Zoom links were sent through our registration system, ActivityHero, to the email you used when you registered; if you didn't receive that message, please email Leila for assistance.) As our newsletter photo shows, we are dancing in our new Zoom world right now, which sometimes includes furry friends and other obstacles, but we're committed to making it work as best as we can and returning to the studio as soon as it's safe to do so. Thank you for your patience.

Haven't registered yet? We do have some spaces, so please view our schedule and register now. Want to enroll your child but not sure which class to pick? We welcome beginning and experienced dancers, as well as students returning to dance after a break. Contact Angelafor help with placement.

Spread the word! These are challenging times. We'd love to enroll a few more students in the following sections, so we'd really appreciate if you would forward this newsletter to a friend:

MOVEMENT OF THE MONTH: COMBAT "SITTING" FATIGUE
This month, we wanted to share an article with five exercises you can do to neutralize the aches and pains of spending so much of our day next to a computer screen. Teacher Angela shares that her teen students will recognize many of the exercises since they are incorporated into their jazz warm up. Plus, these are great for parents, too!

DANCE IN THE NEWS: TEACHER EMILY IN "UNMARKED" 
We are so excited to share news of the release of a new video dance performance by Robert Moses' Kin, "Unmarked," featuring Teacher Emily. Watch the RMK dancers perform in masks to original music and text in Bay Area locations.  Congratulations, Teacher Emily!

QUICK TIP: ZOOM FATIGUE
Combat Zoom fatigue with breaks. Whenever possible, get your dancers some screen-free time before class--outdoor time is even better!
