Our Sunday Spotlight Roundup

March 22, 2017

Here at DS, we’re big believers in our Sunday #MomentofZen. It’s important to take a day to recharge and prep for the week ahead, especially when it comes to setting goals. Which is why we thought it was the perfect time to introduce our Sunday Spotlight Roundup. Maybe you’ve been wanting to master a new leap in jazz class, or prep your pointe shoes differently—no matter the goal, we’ve got you covered with these in-depth, how-to articles, covering everything from convention tips to Balanchine technique.
