Spring is upon us and with this new
beginning, we wanted to mention a few
changes. Denise and Jennifer (our
wonderful ballet teachers!) are in the
process of revising the ballet
syllabus/curriculum in order to place all
of our students in their appropriate levels to
enhance and support growth and enable
everyone to reach their goals. You may notice
that the "names" of some of the classes may
have changed. The terminology of levels is
simply a guideline and a tool for the teachers
to ensure a strong technical foundation for all
dancers. Both Denise and Jennifer are
dedicated to a beautiful, vibrant and
technically sound ballet core. Denise and
Jennifer both welcome any and all questions
as they begin this exciting season at the
Dance Workshop.
And, by the way, what's Ballet
Conditioning? An hour of methodically
choreographed exercises that build core
strength, flexibility, and muscle firmness and
is a great class for both dancers and non-
dancers, alike.
Jennifer Fitzgerald, a former dancer with
the Sacramento Ballet, the San Jose Ballet,
and a certified Pilates instructor will be adding
classes on Mondays and Thursdays,
including Pilates for dancers (and yes, non-
dancers, too!) Watch for updates on the
schedule in the upcoming week! Click on her
name to see photos of her dancing!

Cold & Flu Policy!!
Due to the seriousness of this year's flu
season and the concerns of some of our
parents, we're letting you know, as gently as
possible, that we are being absolutely strict
with our cold and flu policy! We're not
doctors, so if you or your child is sniffling, or
coughing or has a runny nose or temperature
- we're sending you home. We need to keep
everyone healthy, from the the 4 year olds to
our senior citizens, (as well as our teachers,)
so please be courteous! Remember that we
have a very generous make-up policy: you
can make up all missed classes as long as
you do it within the eight week session.
If you or your child has allergies: Bring us a
note from the doctor. (You don't have to make
and appointment, just call them and ask for
them to mail a note home to you.) the note
should say that (student name) has seasonal
allergies that present like (symptoms) and we
will keep that on file. If we don't have a note,
you go home. Again, we're not doctors and
we're trying to keep everyone healthy!
