Please join us this Tuesday, June 2nd from 9:30am-10:45am at UUMarin (240 Channing Way in San Rafael) for a full 75 minute Stop Drop and Dance class celebrating Sara Rainbolt's 50th birthday!
Sara has been one of our most loyal regular dancers since our pre-pandemic days at Marin Power Yoga, she has joined all three of our previous international retreats to Tulum, Belize, and Bali, and we can always count on Sara to come up front to help lead ANY dance! She is a rockstar just like her theme...

My 8th grade daughter has many graduation events which is why there will be no classes Wednesday, June 10th or Thursday, June 11th, and then my family will be taking a 2-week vacation to Japan so there will be no classes Tuesday, June 16th through Saturday, June 27th.
All previously-live classes are always recorded and available on-demand for you to take at your own convenience. Members have unlimited free access and non-members can purchase classes a-la-carte on our website. Thank you for your understanding!
Sharon's Carnaval Birthday!
We loved celebrating Sharon Mor last Tuesday for her birthday Stop Drop and Dance class!
Sharon just wrapped up a very busy weekend performing for hours at the Carnaval San Francisco Grand Parade, but she still showed up on Tuesday with a huge smile and a huge heart! Her team costume this year was fluorescent pink and yellow, so she and fellow dancer, Marnina Young, had accents of Carnaval in their earrings and shoelaces! Thank you to Sunny St. Germain for bringing her previous Carnaval top for Sharon to wear in the picture above!
Thank you to everyone who joined in-person or on Zoom to shower Sharon with love and thank you to Erin Meyers who came early to decorate a birthday banner for our backdrop. Next year, Sharon's theme for everyone will be to dress up like Carnaval too!
Happiest Birthday to you Sharon!
Elizabeth Put The GEM In Gemini!
Last Thursday was Elizabeth Valosek’s first birthday class with us since she only discovered our classes 15 months ago. Even though she was brand new back then, within a month, she integrated into our community quickly and easily because of her own effort to chat with dancers standing around her in class, and by showing up to community events such as our March Karaoke night!
Elizabeth brings brightness to our class, both with her bubbly personality and joyful screams, and literally with her love of brightly colored clothing! For her birthday class, she brought ring pops for everyone to wear on their fingers, and body glitter and face gems! Thank you as always to Erin Meyers for the birthday decorations in the backdrop, and to all of you who were able to join in-person or on Zoom.
At the end of class, Elizabeth spoke on the mic to thank everyone for dancing with her and she shared some beautiful words about our community:
“We all know it’s more than a class. This is a higher love, that’s how I see it…. I feel the sea of love that is created here - in my life. It is always there and I feel like I can do anything… That’s because of the open hearts of all of you, so thank you.”
Happy Birthday Elizabeth and thank you for letting us celebrate you!
A Note of Appreciation
For those of you on the online or in-person membership plan, I would like to send a sincere thank you for your continued monthly support even when there are breaks in classes.
I know my solo business model is unique, and I appreciate your understanding to build in time off with my family a few weeks in the year.
I have tried my best to keep my membership rates constant and as low as possible, even though business costs have risen every year, in an effort to keep my classes affordable and accessible to the greater community. Your support and loyalty truly make a huge difference!
Whether you are a member, a drop-in student, or someone who simply reads this newsletter every week, I am deeply grateful to all of you for your encouragement and love.
With gratitude,
Grace
