Neela Reed will be teaching the same schedule (Tue/Thu/Sun), and feel free to email me for more information:  joan@danceartsf.org

Virtual . . . Dance with Joan Lazarus

Dear Dancers,

Having heard from a number of you about shifting our schedule to an earlier slot, I think we have a winner!   I hope this will accommodate the dancers who are beginning to return to work/family commitments, and an earlier schedule would keep you dancing!  The only change is moving the Tuesday and Thursday classes one hour earlier.  Just like in the olden days.


Here is your summary in case you want to print it off and stick it on the refrigerator.

SUNDAYS (no change)
9:30am Modern dance warm-up and stretch and Absolutely Beginning set 
10:00am Regular class begins (usually 45 - 60 minutes)


TUESDAYS and THURSDAYS
8:30am Modern dance warm-up and stretch and Absolutely Beginning set 
9:00am Regular class begins (usually 45 - 60 minutes)

Misc. extras!

If we learn the 8 body positions and pas de bourrée, we will know 40% of ballet!  So, the Absolutely Beginning dancers, get ready to focus on those two areas in the next few classes.  Here’s a link to the Beginning Ballet Handbook that is posted on my website:
