Our youth dancers do zooming on the digital dancefloor M-F and then again for 2 hours on Saturday. It's the best part of the teachers' day. If you share a photo to Sandrafortuna@comcast.net I will get it added to this collection quickly. If you share it any other way, it will eventually be added, but it extends the process.
My favorite part of zoom lessons is getting to do them. Second favorite part is when Valarie comes to studio to do the ballet classes and Greycie tries to follow along. My next favorite part is our new class, Rumba Adagio.
On Staurday, April 25, the dancers gave me a big surprise! This was really something! "Sandra, could you come outside?" Haven't heard that one in about 6o yrs. So I go outside and there are most of the youth dancers and our dance moms tooting their horns, hanging out their car windows and yelling for me! I was more than touched. This drive-by was over-whelmingly emotional. First of all, I got to see so many of them in person which hasn't been happening for weeks. They reminded me what is important to me everyday: making a difference through dance--even in a non-essential way and while enduring protective custody. I LOVE our dancers. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
On Tuesday, April 29, the dancers gave Valarie a big surprise! It was a Drive-By on her street complete with loud singing of Happy Birthday, posters, horns and general disruption to the neighborhood, all with social distancing.
Our Zoom schedule for the week is settling into something pretty regular. We will be doing a pre-set invitation to avoid the invitations going to spam folders probably starting by Monday, May 4. On Thursday, May 7, we will do something different and special. Dancers are encouraged to make a treat of their own choice and we will have a party of sorts and maybe do some games on zoom.
Saturday, starting May 9, classes will begin at 10am, each will be 45 min. long so we will end earlier and can take advantage of the nice weather. You'll check the TodayZnewZ page to be sure exactly what is the schedule.
On Memorial Day, we hada birthday drive-by for Angeilina who has just turned 13. Congratulations, Angelina!
