don't know kim guion?

not only is kim guion the president of sanspointe's board of directors, she also dances and leads the company and the community in collective improvisations. kim grew up in birmingham and went to high school at indian springs before going to college at middlebury in vermont. kim has been back in birmingham for the past four years getting her masters degree and now finishing up her phd in psychology. kim has two younger brothers whom she loves dearly and a cat she kinda likes. kim's interests extend beyond modern dance and psychology to include swing dance, farming, cooking, children (but not cooking children), music, and nature. kim is a great friend and when she moves away to do her psychology internship next year, we will miss her veryverymuch.

Feb. Update

Sanspointe just began it's 7th year, and I want to share with you what we've been up to so far in 2009...and what is still to come!

In January we performed "Pack" for hundreds of audience members at the Alabama Dance Festival Showcase at the Birmingham Jefferson Convention Complex along with dozens more dance companies throughout Alabama.

Our biggest most exciting news is that we are now recognized as a Public Charity and exempt from Federal income tax under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, contributions to Sanspointe are deductible. It didn't take us long to put a donation link on our web site! Check it out: http://www.sanspointe.org/ ! In March we will kick off our 2009 campaign to raise funds.

This month we hosted a community dance day including an Open Company Class and a Community Movement Improvisation. More than 20 friends joined us for the classes, and we had a great time!

We recently began rehearsals for our annual May concert to be held the 28th-31st. We will present 7 dances by Sarah Berry, Kim Guion, Michelle Hamff, John McLaughlin, Rhea Speights and myself. I hope you will mark your calendar now for those dates!
Please check our web site often and join our group on Facebook.

I will keep you updated as we continue to work on new dances in 2009 and perform throughout the community.

Until Soon,
Shellie Chambers
Artistic Director
