Hello, October!
The air is crisp, and the school year routines are settling into place. Thank you for making Sandra’s Studio of Dance part of your family’s weekly routine!
One quick request: Please clean up after yourself in the waiting room. Trash needs to go in the bathroom trash can, and any books you have taken from the dressing room need to be reshelved where you found them.
Classes remain as scheduled for Friday, October 11, even though it is a school break for Spokane Public Schools. We follow the SPS calendar only for major breaks (i.e., Thanksgiving, Winter Break, and Spring Break), observed federal holidays, and weather-related closures.
We realize you might miss class due to sickness or a family obligation. You can make up with a class that is the same level, or a level above or below. Feel free to send the studio an email about absences and/or makeups, but you may also text the teachers directly:
Stephanie Gronholz (Monday and Thursday afternoons): 720-254-5023
Ann Eldore (Monday evenings, Tuesdays, Wednesdays): 951-293-2331
Marty Newell-Large (Thursday evening ballet): 509-475-9925
Sara Stradley Wright (Saturday ballet): 509-499-1559
Caroline Zoretic (contemporary): 509-449-3370
Angie Brown (tap): 509-368-1469
Our two key words for the first trimester are community and technique. It’s been so rewarding to see the dancers create connections with one another while they learn and refine the techniques that are appropriate to their dance form. We intentionally do not teach complex sequences at this point in the year so that we can focus instead on executing simple steps with excellence.
Towards the end of the month, we’ll celebrate our sense of community with our first Spirit Week, and on October 26, we have two special events for two different age groups. Scroll down for more details about our Halloween Ballet Camp and Halloween-themed Dance Night In, plus some special events at local universities!
