Make Time to BOOGIE!

 

For our final class yesterday before our 2-week Summer Break, we came dressed up in a Rainbow Disco theme and danced to a 75 minute Stop Drop and Dance playlist combined with favorite songs from all 3 birthday girls Jen Lefferts, Karin Conn and Sara Rainbolt!


Thank you to Erin Meyers for decorating the backdrop with all things boogie, to the birthday girls for bringing rainbow and disco ball necklaces, headbands and stickers to wear, and to Leslie Dinham for baking a delicious carrot cake for all to enjoy after class!

One of the highlights was a special surprise visit from Sara’s husband, Eric, and son, Rex, and they even came up to dance to Kendrick Lamar! Thank you to everyone who joined on Zoom or in-person to celebrate these wonderful ladies!

 

Happiest birthdays Jen, Karin and Sara!

Live Like Everyday Is Your Birthday!

 

It is such a treat to be able to celebrate our community, and it’s even better when family members show up to our Stop Drop and Dance class! On Tuesday morning, Kristen Sperling and Laika Chow were both joined by their special guests, Kristen’s husband, Robert, and Laika’s daughter, Mika! Both Robert and Mika even came up front to dance multiple songs!

Kristen and Laika also chose the creative idea of asking everyone to wear a top with an inspirational saying on it, so our dance room was full of positive words, such as Kristen’s “Let’s root for each other and watch each other grow,” and Laika’s “GRATEFUL” shirt!

To add onto the theme, Erin Meyers found the cutest inspirational mini posters to hang as our backdrop that had mantras like “Dream Big” or “Today is a Good Day!”  Yes it sure was a good day, with dancing, friendship, and donut holes from Laika after!

 

Happy birthdays Kristen and Laika!

 

Save The Date: July 1st!

 

Our next class back will be on Tuesday, July 1st at 9:30am and we will be celebrating Anna Carr, Erin Meyers, and Jen Gonzalez' birthdays with a SPARKLY LIKE FIREWORKS theme!  Mark your calendars and join us if you are around!

Happy Summer!

 

My family and I are off to Korea this evening with 4 other families and we are visiting Seoul, Busan and Jeju Island.  I am beyond excited to turn my brain off for 2 weeks and explore a new country, from eating to shopping to sightseeing, and getting pampered!  

 

If you are around, I hope that you can get together with others through our Dance Group WhatsApp and send your Dancers in the Wild pics!  If you are traveling, I hope you have a safe and rejuvenating time wherever you are headed! 

 

Below is a video clip of all the inspirational shirts that our dancers wore this past week, and it just shows what a positive, uplifting, and kind community you all are.  Thank you for being YOU!!!
