info for summer dance classes
I’m gearing up for this upcoming dance session — and I’m so excited. I can’t wait to spend the sumer dancing, exploring, and deepening this exquisite and discerning practice of improvisation with you — and I wanted to send you the details about how things will work.
If you are considering signing up for class this summer, please read this whole email so that you have all the info you need to make a decision that is right for you.
Here we go!
Class Times and Locations:
The summer session will run from June 13th-August 15th, 2015 and will take place in the upstairs dance studio (The Trixie Room) at The Boulder Circus Center.

SATURDAY, JULY 25TH
PLEASE NOTE: Saturday, July 11th will be a site-specific dance day on the St. Vrain Trail, just outside of Jamestown. This will be a longer day than normal because of the location and nature of this particular class. Please set aside 5-6 hours that day for class. I will include more details as we get closer to this date.
Fees, Punch Cards, & Make-Ups:
I am testing out a punch card system so that you can come to any class throughout the summer that works for you.
Here is the Fee Schedule:
8 class punch card: $206
16 class punch card: $382
24 class punch card: $573
JUST ADDED:
A 3 class punch card to test out the waters and see if this class is a match for you for only $62.
If you purchase the 3 class punch card and then decide you would like to continue on for the rest of the summer, you and I will sit down and figure out how many more classes you want to take and go from there.
If you don’t use all the punches on your card by August 15th, 2015 you can bring a guest to class to use any or all of those extra punches.
IMPORTANT: The Enrollment Period will be from June 1st-June 12th.
I will send you a link to register for whichever punch card you choose to purchase the morning of June 1st with updates and reminders about the enrollment period until June 12th.
NOTE: I keep the classes small so that everyone is seen for who they are, and so that everyone is given the space to dance at their own pace, in their own way.
Because these classes tend to fill, I would recommend signing up when registration opens on June 1st to insure that you get a spot in the class. I will send you updates to let you know how many spots are left in the class between the dates of June 1st and June 12th.
Refund Policy:
If you get to the end of the session after participating in all of the classes that you have signed up for and are disgruntled and dissatisfied, then I will happily refund 100% of your money.
NOTE: To be eligible for a refund, I require that you attend all 3, 8, 16, or 24 classes that you signed up for when you purchase your punch card.
It is important to me that this class provides you with freedom and magic in your dancing. This means you must show up.
I know that if you continually show up, you will access parts of yourself that you didn’t know were there, and were just waiting to be remembered.
If you show up and still don’t get value from your experience, then l will refund you 100% of your class fee, no questions asked.
Performance:
On Saturday, August 15th there will be an informal showing of the work we have been practicing together over the summer. You get to choose if you want to participate in this event or not.
I will include more details as classes get underway.
Lastly:
Anyone – of any level, any ability, and any amount of experience – with whatever fear, trepidation, excitement, worry, or anticipation, is welcome to join this class.
This is a place for you to be you, to step into a dance that you already know, and to follow what is emerging.
These are some recent testimonials from the spring session to give you a sense of what people are experiencing in class:
“I feel strongly that you have a certain magical ability to create an open place for everyone who comes to class to be who they are and bring whatever they can to the process of discovery of truth and beauty through dance. It’s an amazing, heart-opening process, and it’s certainly changed my life.” — Linda Stonerock, Current Student
“I am in love with your class! The group, the pace, the structure, your ability to transition, offer perspective, and encourage us to expand. I don’t want it to end. I feel free and more in touch with my dancing body than ever.” — Avery Oatman, Current Student
“Yesterday’s class was marvelous on many levels for me. Im wanting to take more of your classes this summer. The days when I come to your class, I’m soaring through the rest of my day.” — Brooke Laura, Current Student
Feel free to email me with any questions or concerns you may.
Looking forward to dancing with you this summer.
Warmly,
Joanna
