GROUP CLASSES ARE STARTING! This video shows some of our students dancing through class (6 feet apart of course ). I’m interested in trying this out but I’ve never danced before...... No problem! We have our beginner-level tango series starts September 7th - and continues every Monday at 8pm for 8 weeks. Due to COVID, a partner is required. What will I learn? Our beginning series classes are all the basics plus some fun and fancy broken into three parts. Starting with this class or the Turns series is ideal. This section starts with developing clear and concise leads and follows, your tango walk, amagues and ochos (simple pivots). Then we play with the ideas of Barridas (drags), Paradas (stops), and pivoting and balancing techniques. Come get tangled up with us! Where do I sign up? Either in-studio or through our super awesome new website! I still have a few questions. We’d love to answer any and all questions you have. Shoot us a PM or call the studio for more info!

NOW LIVE! Our new and improved website is now up to date. See upcoming classes, events, and wedding dance info. Be sure to check out our Gyrotonic and Chiropractic Care sections which highlight current services in light of COVID.

Sharing some cool dance inspo for some goal setting! Can’t wait for things to open back up.

Stay happy, keep moving. Keep dancing through COVID. These Chinese coronavirus patients dance in quarantine units to break daily routine. This goes to show - we all want to stay healthy and happy but there's a lot you can do to impact your mindset regardless of your situation.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdY-sefi_ec#action=share

It’s so great we have technology to help us connect through social distancing. What a fun use of resources to keep dancing together!

Quarantine dancing. Can't stop moving! Check out Chase and Emilie every Thursday for a live broadcast with great piano and vocals on their fb page!

Remember to keep dancing! You know we are. Shout out to this entire neighborhood for finding joy through dance in these times!

Great online lessons today with Kurt Kallaus and Andrea Kallaus! They practiced in between lessons and were rocking the West Coast Swing :)

It's important to keep moving and stay connected in this time of social distancing. Stay responsible - stay dancing! Follow Ryan Irwin's example. https://www.bbc.com//coronavirus-down-s-syndrome-and-danci

Help motivate your fellow dancers! Post a practice video, a fun dance memory or even a video that inspires you to move.

SURPRISE! A second, third Wednesday post. This is something so important, we just couldn't wait for April. Keep physical and cognitive performance going throughout your life in a way that fills your life. It's so great to see all the research going on right now that talks about the mind and body as one piece!... Keep your solo practice going during this time of social distancing. It’s important beyond a social outlet! Stay safe everyone. https://www.telegraph.co.uk//dementia-patients-should-of/

If you are able to work from home during these difficult times, you are one of the fortunate ones. However, that type of job almost always requires you to be at your desk all day long. Forward head posture, slumped shoulders, hand/wrist fatigue or numbness, neck stiffness, rounded back, low back pain, hip pain or stiffness upon standing these are all common complaints of desk workers. Dr. Carter can help with current symptoms as well as create a plan of action that counte...racts the specific stresses on your body to allow you freedom of movement that is pain-free for years to come. Whether you work from home or in an office, it’s the same. You must take action! Call 314-707-9854 to schedule an in-office appointment or a complimentary telephone consultation. All visits are by appointment, evening and weekend appointments are available, most insurance is accepted.

When Corona gets you down... mariokart!!! Bust out the N64! DDR next week!

As a reminder, Salsa El Tercero tonight is cancelled. Stay well, and we hope to see you next month for our 5th anniversary celebration!

It was so cool to be included in Dancing Classrooms last year! We'd love to be involved in the future. Here's one of many reasons why dance should be a part of each child's life. https://985thesportshub.com/2019/09/09/dancing-classrooms/

Policies I am instituting in the gyrotonic studio during this health scare. As you all know, I wash everything down anyways and keep things clean. I am also instituting a clean strap policy so that only you use a set of straps and I wash them every day. I can have you set up your own equipment (talking you through it .. it is not difficult) and do the lesson touch free if this is your preference. We can also arrange a Skype/live Gyrokinesis lesson. We can do all the work on a stool and we can train virtually. Let me know what you think. It might be something you enjoy so much we could use it in the future when you travel or the weather is bad. Thinking ahead to address our options and dispel any concerns. These are all options. Please let me know how you would like to proceed.

Are you and a loved one interested in dancing or being more health-minded with body work? Are you waiting for the coronavirus-curve to depleate? Get a gift certificate! Make social distancing more bearable by having something to look forward to. Convergence is here for you.
