Weekly Schedule 7/11/2022 — Investing in Youth Energy
THIS WEEK IS DONATION WEEK! Sign up for class(es) to have your class fee donated to our 2022 organization.
With the intention of gathering strength for the new generation of the Black community, our donation class recipient organization for 2022 is Third Street Youth Center and Clinic. Please read more about this clinic and the variety of programs they offer San Francisco youth between 12-24 years old: https://3rdstyouth.org
We donate 100% of class fees from classes attended the second week of every month to the annual organization. We also encourage you to make your own donation directly if you are able.
Please be prepared to provide updated proof of vaccination when visiting the studio. Here's a useful link to have on hand when you've forgotten your paper vaccination card, or don't have an updated copy with you:

Week 122 - Celebrating the start of DTC/SF's Intermediate Summer Intensive tomorrow! Sophia, DTC/SF owner Julianne, and I are teaching an array of conditioning classes four days a week. Gyrotonic Pulley Tower, Progressing Ballet Technique (PBT), and Gyrokinesis are our offerings this summer to help students ages 9 to 19 connect with and find more control of their bodies as they grow.
We are so fortunate to have this beautiful shared space where we support our young dancers to approach their dance education with reverence and curiosity. 3rd Street Youth, although without a classical ballet focus, works to achieve the same environment for their youth through the variety of health-oriented programs. In light of the Supreme Court's reversal of Roe v. Wade, the 3rd Street Leadership Academy strikes me as one of their more crucial programs, focusing on advocacy and poly change in areas of social and environmental health issues.
So this is the week to try a group class, whether it's online or at the studio. After you login and sign up for class, there is an option -- instead of using your class package -- to pay an additional amount. 100% of additional class payments go to 3rd Street Youth this week, increasing our impact. Please reach out if you have questions about additional payments. We are investing in the source of advocacy energy for the long fight ahead for human rights.

We're building on our leg and hip mobility and stability work and increasing the load on our bones.Video available if you can't attend live.
