Silly question, because my assumption is that since it has GPS and an IMU you still need to do the IMU Cal and the GPS "dance" when you get your Spark. Is that the case?
 
the GPS "dance"
I'm guessing you mean the "compass dance". Like DJI's other recent manuals, the Spark manual recommends not doing the compass calibration unless prompted in DJI GO.

The Spark manual does not mention the IMU calibration. Like other DJI aircraft, you could fly first and determine if it needs to be done. It'll probably fly just fine without doing it.
 
yes, the compass dance is what I should have said. Does that mean it is a different compass than the Mavic or Inspire that precludes you from having to cal it?
 
No. It means DJI is carrying over the same recommendation from the Mavic and their other recently released drones.

My sparks compass is a b*tch. Maybe because i hike and it gets shakin up but i'll be 4,000ft up on a mountain and it takes 25 minutes to update and/or calibrate and i miss the shot.
So frustrating
