✨ 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! 💜✨

Her website in the comments if you’re interested in learning more about her and the books she has published!

❤️🤍💙 What an incredible Fourth of July! 💙🤍❤️
A huge THANK YOU to everyone who stopped by the Spark Movement Academy booth, danced with our amazing Spark Elite Team, spun the prize wheel, cheered us on, and celebrated our community with us!
We loved seeing so many smiling faces, meeting new families, and sharing what makes Spark so special. From our littlest dancers to our teen leaders (and even Uncle Sam! 😉), our team represented Spark with enthusiasm, kindness, and pride.
🇺🇸 As America celebrates its 250th birthday, we're especially thankful to be part of a community that believes in investing in its youth.
Thank you, Oak Harbor, for making this Independence Day one to remember! ❤️🤍💙✨

✨ All eyes on Chicago! ✨
This week, one of our own, Sienna, is representing Spark Elite Team at Dupree Dance Convention & Competition Dance National Finals, and we couldn't be more proud!
Sienna is the kind of dancer who turns heads the moment she steps on stage. She performs with incredible strength, beautiful technique, unwavering dedication, and a passion that can't be taught. But what makes her truly special goes far beyond her talent.
She is humble, hardworking, kind, encouraging, and the type of teammate who celebrates everyone around her. She leads by example, lifts others up, and embodies everything we hope our dancers will become. She is not only an exceptional competitor but an exceptional human being.
Nationals are filled with some of the most talented dancers in the country, and we have no doubt that Sienna belongs right there among them.
Your entire Spark family is cheering you on from home! Dance fearlessly, soak in every moment, and remember just how many people believe in you. We are endlessly proud of everything you've accomplished and can't wait to watch you shine.
Go show Chicago what you're made of, Sienna! You've already made us proud. Now go light up that stage!

Today was pure magic. ✨
Our Sparking Life recital was a beautiful reminder of the people who keep the fire burning at Spark Movement Academy.

To our incredible staff and volunteers — thank you for pouring your time, heart, and energy into our dancers and into this studio. Thank you for believing in the vision of creating a welcoming, nurturing space where students and families feel supported, encouraged, and loved. You help keep the Spark alive in more ways than I can ever fully express.

To our dance families — thank you for every ride to class, every costume, every recital fee, every late night, every sacrifice, and every moment spent cheering your dancer on. Your support goes far beyond the stage, and it plays such a big part in helping your children grow in confidence, strength, and joy.

And to our beautiful dancers — thank you for your hard work, dedication, and heart. Thank you for the hours spent in class, the courage it takes to step on stage, and the passion you bring to every rehearsal and performance. Today you didn’t just dance… you shined, you inspired, and you reminded us all what it means to spark something special.

Thank you for helping make this recital a tribute to those who ignite our fire.
My heart is so full tonight. 💙✨
