LAVA News:
Yesterday was our first day back at the Circus Center San Francisco to train with
our revered teacher, Mister Lu Yi. We are only here for a few days but we already feel certain
this will be a worthwhile and fruitful tune-up. We will share more pictures of this
and our other upcoming summer adventures at the end of August. Enjoy your summer!
Sarah and Diana have now attended two sessions of the BAM Professional Development Program, which culminates in a performance in BAM’s new Fisher Theater in the spring of 2013! This too promises to be very fruitful for LAVA's future development.
