Shan-Yee Poon Ballet School

Shan-Yee Poon Ballet School has cultivated grace in its students for 23 years, but its namesake instructor’s relationship with dance goes back even further. Artistic director Shan-Yee Poon graduated from the Royal Ballet School in London and spent four years as a principal dancer at the State Theater in West Germany before relocating to San Francisco in 1984, where she landed a soloist spot at the San Francisco Opera Ballet. She and her team of professional instructors imbue the next generation of dancers with a strong foundation for ballet, as well as tap, jazz, hip-hop, and rhythm and movement for toddlers and parents. They welcome children, teens, and adults into a warm classroom setting at three striking studios, one of which has vaulted ceilings and intricate molding. Though instructors demand discipline and respect from their pupils, they use loving encouragement as their main teaching technique, rather than shouting harsh haikus about students’ weaknesses.

The Groupon Guide to: Mystery Baskets

Anyone with a doorstep has most likely already been a recipient of mysteriously abandoned baskets, with or without notes explaining the contents and, if necessary, how to care for those contents. Brace yourself before peeking under that blanket—your new, free basket most likely contains one of the following:

  • Abandoned infant girl born out of wedlock to a wealthy count
  • Eight kittens or one regular-size cat
  • A smaller basket containing yet-smaller baskets, culminating in a meticulously hand-woven wicker thimble
  • More free hours of AOL than you can realistically use before death
  • An assortment of meats and cheeses from Grandmama! And what’s this … almond bark?!
  • A spring-loaded pie to the face and a note: "Don’t mess with the Eighth Street Cobras!"

More than 50% of Americans receive mystery baskets on their doorstep every day.
