Fall Classes Start Today! + Steppin' Out September News

It's the first day of fall classes, and our teachers are ready to welcome you back to the studio! We can't wait to get to know our students and grow with you into the new season. If you haven't already, check out our dress code and COVID safety policies to prepare for class. Since it's the first week of classes, we want to assure you that it's ok if you don't have the right dance shoes yet or the perfect dance wear--just show up and let's get back to moving as a community!

To accommodate families on our waitlist, we've added classes and done some rearranging. We are happy to inform you that there are still a couple open spots in the following classes:

• Saturday 9:00am Tap/Ballet/Tumbling age 6-8

• Tuesday 5:00pm Tap/Ballet/Tumbling age 5-7

• Thursday 5:00pm Contemporary age 8-12

MOVEMENT OF THE MONTH: POINT AND FLEX

Point and flex is an exercise usually done during a circle warm-up in our younger classes, but all of our dancers use point and flex in a variety of dance forms. Sit on the floor with your legs out in front of you and your knees straight. Flex your feet by pulling your toes up toward your body. As your toes lift to the ceiling, don't worry if your heels rise up off the floor. Pointing is the opposite action of flexing. Point your feet by stretching your toes away from your body and down toward the floor. Hold each position for a few seconds. 

DANCE IN THE NEWS: FALL HAPPENINGS

Attending live dance performances can be a fantastic way to supplement your family's dance education. Lucky for us, the San Francisco Chronicle just released their list of This fall’s 10 can’t-miss dance events—all happening locally in the Bay Area!

QUICK TIP: DANCE BAGS

A great way to help your dancers stay organized is with dance bags of their own! Shoes, a water bottle, and a mask are some great items to include in your dance bag.
