Wandering the neighborhood - dancers and soccer players

Sunday, July 15, 2018

Soccer game at Ridgecrest Elementary
Photo by Seattle Poppy

Seattle Poppy walks the neighborhoods of Ridgecrest, Meridian Park, North City, and photographs the interesting things that she comes across. She has found deserted playgrounds, charming lawn ornaments, little free libraries, water for dogs - and the list goes on.

Friday was a bonus day when she walked by Ridgecrest Elementary in the early evening. She found what might have been a pickup soccer match - or maybe an organized team. The players just looked like they were having fun on a summer night.

Photo by Seattle Poppy
From the Ridgecrest playing field she went to the covered playground area and found Spanish dancers whirling and kicking with their full skirts swirling around them.

There are so many things going on all around us. Unless you get out and walk, you'll never know the joy that is nearby (unless Seattle Poppy gets there to take a photo!)

Ridgecrest Elementary, 16516 10th Ave NE, Shoreline 98155

Professional belly dancer and fitness instructor, CeCe Ryan will host a free class on Wednesday, July 11th and 18th from 2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. on Belly Dancing.

Think you are too old to enjoy this artistic form of dance? 

Belly Dancing is taking senior centers across the nation by storm as the health benefits are endless. The gentle movements increase the flow of synovial fluid (nature's lubricant) in the joints and lower back as well as relive stress to the back.

CeCe is well versed in teaching a mature audience (women and men) and is excited to introduce this fun, relaxing dance style to participants of all ages.

Following these dates, the class will continue at a cost of $3/member and $4/non-member.

A little dancer watches herself in the big mirrors

The Shoreline Academy of Music and Dance is officially open and excited to welcome the community to their beautiful new studio!

Building exterior

The Academy is located in the renovated Guitarville building on Aurora, just north of Costco at 23931 Highway 99, 98026. They share a space with another family friendly Shoreline business, MakerLab Northwest.

The academy owners are Ridgecrest residents (along with their 3 children and 2 dogs). They also own the Ballard Academy of Music and Dance, which has served thousands of students since it opened in 2010.

One of the music rooms


Come see their multiple dance and music rooms. You can enroll two or more family members in classes at the same time, thus saving you lots of driving time!

All academy instructors are university trained, background checked, and able to teach students of all ages!

That's right... dad can take those guitar lessons he has been dreaming about while his little princess takes her ballet class.

Trying out the new barre


Check out the dance floors. They have installed professional “floating” Marley dance floors that rest on hundred of foam blocks -- the same type of floors found in professional ballet theaters around the world. These floors reduce fatigue and injury.

Contact them at 206-240-3408 and check out their website.
