Strength, beauty, grace and elegance are inherent in
the elements of ballet. This class uses ballet basics
to improve strength, articulation of movement, knowledge
of ballet terminology, and introduction to the classical
art. We will start with a floor barre, then move to
exercises standing in the center, eventually moving
across the floor. We will break down the steps and do
exercises that build strength, increase flexibility,
and provide a foundation that can be applied to all
dance styles. No prior dance experience necessary.

Digital Photography Workflow: Organizing and Manipulating
Images with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom NEW Once in a
great while a new computer program comes out that is
both relatively easy to learn and has the power to make
a tremendous change in how and what we can accomplish
in certain domains, and I believe that Lightroom is
such a program for casual, amateur, and professional
photographers. Adobe produces Photoshop Elements and
Photoshop, programs that many use to "edit"
or manipulate their images. After covering important
concepts of "workflow" (everything that you
do from when you take the picture till you have the
desired print, online image, enlargement, or whatever
"done" means to you), we will demonstrate
key features of Lightroom. You can download a trial
version of the software to use during the class. Just
watch and take notes or bring your Mac or Windows laptop
to class and "play along". You will find Lightroom
to be a time-saver in managing and presenting your pictures,
whether you take a dozen pictures a month or a few hundred
in a day.
