Week 126 - Wrapping up big energy this week with the culmination of DTC/SF's Intermediate Summer Intensive and music festival Outside Lands in Golden Gate Park. Our young dancers really focused on learning different types of dance conditioning with an open mind and positive attitude -- great job, dancers! Sophia will be teaching a Gyrotonic Pulley Tower class during Back-To-School Prep August 22 through September 2 for dancers interested in learning more about Gyrotonic exercise. We will post class sign-up next week.
Growing up in Maryland very close to Washington, D.C., August was always a hot, muggy time when everything and everyone slowed down. As students, we really tried to slow August down to postpone the start of school, squeezing the last little bits of unstructured time. Ultimately our enthusiasm to see friends and resume activities started to build closer to the end of the month, with a frisson of excited anticipation culminating Labor Day Weekend.
As we settle in to this August lull before back-to-school excitement possibly tinged with a little pandemic-related anxiety, let's remember to go slow, and enjoy our friends, family, and free time before fall.
Here’s what’s on the schedule this week:
