CELEBRATION OF LIFE: LISA BURNETT (MODERN DANCE INSTRUCTOR), SATURDAY, APRIL 4TH

• With full hearts, we invite you to gather and honor the life of our dear Lisa, and to celebrate the joy she brought to our lives. Lisa moved through the world with rare emotional and physical grace. In the dance studio, at the barn, or in conversation, her presence was calm, luminous, and grounded.
• Reception with light refreshments in the theater courtyard will follow the celebration. A videographer will be on hand to capture your Lisa stories or you can email videos, letters or photos to lisa.burne...@gmail.com so Lisa's family can enjoy your memories as well.
• SATURDAY, APRIL 4, 2 PM to 4 PM
• CUBBERLEY COMMUNITY CENTER THEATER, 4120 Middlefield Rd, Palo Alto CA
• In lieu of flowers, please donate to Stanford Sarcoma Research: https://medgift.stanford.edu/

SUMMER DANCE INTENSIVE (SDI) June 15 - 19

• Five days. One week. A transformation you will feel. 
• There are things that happen when you train every day for five consecutive days that simply cannot happen in a single weekly class. This intensive is built for that transformation. Dancers leave with a deeper understanding of their bodies, a sharper ability to absorb corrections, and measurable technical progress they can see and feel.

• Times: MONDAY - WEDNESDAY, 10:30am - 5pm/ THURSDAY, 9:00 am - 4:00 pm/ FRIDAY, 10:30 am - 4:00pm

• This is for anyone 14 yo and up. All levels of dance welcomed.

• Dance Classes will consist of: Ballet, Jazz, Musical Theater Choreography, Tap, Luigi Technique, Contemporary, and Modern.

LUIGI TECHNIQUE TEACHER CERTIFICATION LEVEL 2

• July 17, 18, 19
