Grace Ritz moved to the Rogue Valley after graduating from University of Oregon (Go Ducks) with a degree in Journalism! She moved to Medford to become a Multimedia Journalist at KDRV NewsWatch 12, and has been loving it ever since! She’s originally from Southern California and loves hanging out by the beach and reading. During college, she worked with St Jude Children’s hospital and Make A Wish, so helping kids through Sparrow Clubs was a no brainer decision and she can’t wait to raise money and make some change!

Callasandra is beyond excited to step into the role of hip hop coach and share her passion for dance with the next generation of performers. Dance has been a huge part of Callasandra’s life for over 15 years, shaping not only her skills but also her confidence, work ethic, and love for movement. Throughout her years of training, Callasandra has had the opportunity to compete at multiple levels, gaining valuable competition experience that has taught her discipline, teamwork, and how to perform with both power and purpose. Hip hop is more than just choreography to her—it’s a way to express individuality, energy, and storytelling through movement. As a coach, Callasandra strives to create a positive and motivating environment where dancers feel supported, challenged, and confident being themselves. She believes that every dancer has something unique to bring to the floor, and her goal is to help each student grow both technically and artistically. Teaching is one of Callasandra’s greatest passions. She loves breaking down movement, watching dancers build confidence, and celebrating their progress—big and small. At the same time, she is always eager to keep learning, staying inspired by new styles, trends, and training opportunities within the dance world. Callasandra is excited to continue growing as both a coach and a dancer while helping her team work hard, have fun, and reach their full potential.
