✨ Master Class with Mary Lou Sanelli! ✨

This past Friday, we had the pleasure of welcoming Mary Lou Sanelli to Spark Movement Academy for a special master class!

Our dancers had such a great time learning from a new instructor, experiencing a different teaching style, and enjoying the energy and inspiration that comes from working with a guest artist. We loved seeing them step outside their regular classes, try something new, and have so much fun doing it! 💜

Mary Lou is not only a dancer, teacher, and choreographer—she’s also an author! 📚🩰 If your dancer loves to read, you may want to check out two of her dance-related books:

✨ Bella Likes to Try — Chatwin Books, 2022
✨ The Star Struck Dance Studio (of Yucca Springs): A Novel — Chatwin Books, 2019

A big thank you to Mary Lou for spending the evening with our dancers and sharing your knowledge and love of dance with Spark! We truly enjoyed having you! 💜✨
