We hope you're enjoying the summer! We're happy to share that our fall schedule is now available for viewing. Registration will open at the beginning of August and fall class will begin on September 6th. In addition to our class schedule, you can also learn about our policies regarding tuition, registration, and classes.
If you are a returning family, you will receive an individualized email with a list of suggested classes and a pre-registration link. (Please remember that it is common for students to stay at the same level for a couple years before moving up a level.) Pre-registration will open on July 25th.
If you are a family that is new to Steppin' Out and you'd like to join one of our classes, take a look at our class selection guidelines to find a good fit for your dancer given their age and dance experience. If you need help choosing a class, email Angela. Registration will open on August 1st.
STEPPIN' OUT PERFORMANCE VIDEOS
Performance videos have been sent to all students that were enrolled in our spring 2022 semester. We hope you've enjoyed watching them and that you share them with family members that were unable to attend. If you didn't get the video link, please email Angela.
Speaking of spring performance...we'd like to give a shoutout to Lucy, one of our Steppin' Out parents, who made the beautiful paper flowers that decorated our stage last month. Thanks, Lucy!
SPOTS STILL AVAILABLE FOR SUMMER CAMP!
We still have a couple of spaces in each week of Steppin' Out Summer Camp 2022. Campers can sign up for delightful and age-appropriate adventures with Angela and Pearl (both fully vaccinated). Enjoy dance, arts & crafts, baking, theater games, and unstructured outdoor time at Chan Kaajal Park the week of July 18-22, July 25-29, or both (each week is different!). Learn more or register now.
MOVEMENT OF THE MONTH: BUTTERFLY STRETCH
Sit on the ground with your legs extended out in front of you. Bring the soles of your feet together as your knees bend sideways away from each other. The outer edges of your feet will be resting on the ground. Give your butterfly wings (your knees) a few gentle flaps. Stretch forward and try to bring your nose toward your toes. Stay in the stretch for 20-30 seconds, and don't forget to breathe!
DANCE IN THE NEWS: POST:BALLET'S SUMMER
Bay Area contemporary ballet company, Post:ballet, released a short dance film on the summer solstice, titled Summer. The film is set in downtown San Francisco and features selections from composer Anna Meredith's ANNO: Four Seasons, a re-imagination of Vivaldi's timeless score. (See if you can spot Teacher Emily among the dancers!)
