Jazz Dance
View info

You’ll be so busy singing along to the music, you’ll forget you’re learning to dance!  In this adult dance class, we’ll focus on strength, tone, flexibility, and coordination, techniques that are fundamental in jazz dance, and learn dynamic, unique, theatre based dance combinations at the end of every class.  Some prior dance experience is recommended but not required in this inclusive class.

One of the goals of creative writing is to describe the world we see. Much like an artist who views his world with a brush, we paint our pictures with a pen or a keyboard. Whatever your level – reporter, freelancer, personal writer, novice – this workshop will open doors in your mind and help you kick up your writing proficiency a few notches. Class includes four leader-facilitated and four group collaboration sessions.
