Final Class in Clayton
Thursday, September 17, 7:30 pm
After much consideration, I have decided to conclude SpiritJoy dance classes in downtown Clayton as summer comes to a close. Our final class will be Thursday, September 17, 2026 at 7:30 pm.
For those of you who might like to attend in these last weeks, you are welcome to join us for a drop-in class.
I am grateful to the more than 100 dancers who have danced with SpiritJoy in downtown Clayton and for the artistry, generosity, and love of dance you brought into the studio. Thank you for helping create a warm and welcoming dance community. And I extend gratitude to Purna Yoga East for graciously hosting us in their beautiful upstairs studio. I also recommend their classes to everyone!
I wish each of you continued joy in dance/yoga/movement and in your lives.
24 Roses and a Round of Applause for Everyone!

DANCE WORKS IN PROGRESS FROM CLAYTON ARTISTS
A SHOWING OF NEW DANCE FROM OUR FIRST CHOREOGRAPHY WORKSHOP
May 18, 4 pm, Open to the Community – This show was standing room only with a compelling discussion of audience impressions of the new work and the creative future of Clayton for local performing artists and a possible home for community events.
I’m enjoying ballet and it is so good for my body and mind. It is a challenge for me but I’m up to it and it will only make me stronger. Thank you for giving this class and being such a wonderful teacher.
Just wrapped up my second ‘Ageless Ballet’ class with Spirit/Joy Dance! I am basically starting over learning ballet at 51 years old, but it is so much fun!
I was so nervous about coming, but I left today with so much joy in my soul!! I’m so excited! You did an absolute amazing job!! Thank you for sharing your joy and passion with all of us.
I do enjoy your class and my body feels great afterwards,
I have more confidence in myself and my abilities. I enjoy being in the class with women of different ages. I was a little scared to sign up for this class because of my age, but when I came the first day I was very comfortable and also happy I made the decision.
Thank you for hosting such a welcoming and open class.
So much fun energy.
Always an honor to be part of your classes. it brings me back to the beautiful nostalgia and magic that only dance can bring.
This feels like magic. I am so happy to be here.
Thank you for a great class. Brusshing up on the beginning concepts of ballet is helping me rediscover how to dance correctly and why I love it!
Thank you for hosting such a peaceful and helpful class! I look forward to growing with the class these next few weeks!
