Dear Friends,
Four styles to choose from (and clearance items)!
We revealed our 2026 swag this past week and they look so great!!! These new tanks, shirts, and hoodies have our newly branded "Stop Drop and Dance" trademark, and we would love your support to represent our classes "out in the wild!"
Thank you to our talented dancers, Melanie Barti, who was the Brand Designer for our new logo, and Marianne Jacobson, who was our Product Concierge to help produce the apparel! We are so excited for these new products!
DANCERS IN THE WILD!
Please send your photos to Grace wearing your new shirt!
Flowy Cropped Tee
Perfect for your tweens and teens (it's THE fashion trend!). This Bella Canvas stylish cropped tee has a flowy fit with side seams and tailored sleeves. Wear it with high waisted paints for the ultimate out-and-about look! Please note it is on the shorter side, so size up if you don't want to show your belly when you lift your arms (and if you do, go girl!).
Racerback Cropped Tank
Our most popular style sold so far! This Bella Canvas tank comes in a relaxed, cropped fit with modern, elongated armholes and a racerback with raw edge details. It is modestly cropped so order true to size.
Knot Back Tank
Our classic longer length style similar to many of our previous tanks like "Better When I'm Dancing" or "Never Gonna Not Dance Again." This Tri Dri racerback tank is a lightweight, activewear top known for its distinctive knot detailing on the back and moisture wicking properties.
Cropped Fleece Hoodie
We sold out of our original Boat Neck White "Life is a Dance" sweaters, and we only have a few Large-Sized Black Rainbow Zipped Hoodies left, so it was TIME for a new long sleeve style! This Bella Canvas cropped hoodie sweatshirt made from soft poly cotton brushed fleece has a raw edge and dyed-to-match drawstrings. Perfect to layer over our Flowy Cropped Tee and Racerback Cropped Tank!
Look who's turning the dance floor into a runway?
Happiest birthday to our little devil Marsha Cellar who chose the fun theme of “Devil Wears Prada” for her 60 minute Stop Drop and Dance class last Thursday!
Thank you to Marsha’s besties Paula Todd and Cecilia Cruickshank for dressing up in devil ears and tails with her, and to everyone who came to class in red hot clothes, lipstick, jewelry, and sunglasses!
Marsha also prepared a red basket full of “Hot Tamales” candy boxes for all the dancers, with a sign in front saying:
“To my devils who are hot hot hot tamales!”
Such a fun theme and Marsha sure knows how to make us have a good time!
Happiest Birthday Marsha!
PWGRACE
It is Maycember for sure!!!
For the next two weeks, our family is hosting two fifth-grade Taipei exchange students. Preparing for their arrival last Saturday and planning activities for the next two weeks has been all-consuming, but my family is embracing this unique experience and now I know what it would be like to have 6 daughters (1 8th grader, 3 5th graders, and 2 adolescent dogs)!
In addition, last week my older daughter and her friend organized a student-led International Dance Day routine that they taught K-2 students, my younger daughter wrapped up another year of competitive soccer with a well-deserved Leadership Award, Lisa Butcher and I went to support fellow dancer, Barbara Roberts, performing in College of Marin's "Men On Boats" play, and I celebrated Mother's Day with my mom and dad over a yummy Korean lunch!
Thanks to all of you, my dance family, I have learned this year to start some new important habits:
wear my bangles
join a regular prayer group
put on lipstick as often as possible
prioritize self-care (and seeing a dermatologist)
reach out immediately if you think about someone all of a sudden
and... here's a new one:
Personalize my license plate!
All of you obviously know PWGRACE stands for "The Power With Grace" but for those that will drive by my car in the future and don't know about my small business, I hope they think of PWGRACE as:
PASSWORD: GRACE
No matter how busy Maycember is for me, when I really look deeply at all I am actually busy with, they are all wonderful blessings. I am willing and inviting in that type of busy-ness.
However, we all have our seasons, and when it is someone's turn to be in a season of worry, or pain, or fear... I truly hope that when they see PASSWORD: GRACE, they will feel an immediate sense of peace, a deep unconditional love, and a source of comfort. I hope they feel something magical.
"I do not understand the mystery of grace;
only that it meets us where we are
and doesn't leave us where
it found us."
- Anne Lamott
Love,
Grace
