Yosi Samra ballet flats

Wonderful.  

Just wonderful!  My friend introduced me to these ballet flats, and now I will share the love with all of you.  Most of the classes I teach are barefoot.  I am used to having sneakers or boots on before class and find myself annoyingly putting them on and taking them off and putting them on again, and then taking them off. These flats are perfect for before class, after class, whenever! Easy to slide off and slide on and I love that they fold up, using minimal space. I have walked distances with these flats and they are great. No digging in the back of the foot. Just comfortable and perfect. They come in all colors...highly recommended.  Enjoy!

be like a 3 year old

For the past couple of weeks I have been observing kids dance and ballet classes at "For Kids Only" located in, and a part of,  The Sports Club LA.  I am really excited, for I will be teaching my very own CREATIVE DANCE for ages 3-4.5 starting Thursday,  April 21st.

When I first encountered these little creatures I was awe-struck. The way they interact, and laugh, and the things that excite them only caused me to giggle and smile with them.  Their carefree nature was a refreshing part of my day.  I left the class feeling happy and reminded myself that I too was once a kid.... with the same silly ways.

Be a kid today.

*this class is not only for members of SCLA, but open to the public. If you have a child interested in taking class, contact Lisa !
