You've heard of the Solid Gold dancers, right? We are the Solid Silver Dancers! This class teaches a vocabulary of dance steps and styles ( 40s, 50's, 60's, disco, Broadway, etc.), which are choreographed into "dances." The first 50 minutes is dedicated to dancing and feels like a dance workout that is easy on the knees and made especially for us seniors. But still fun and sassy! After the first few classes, a 20–25-minute rehearsal will follow for those who want to be in the performance versions of the dances. (But you can just do the first 50 minutes if you don't want to be in the performances) To see a video describing/demonstrating this class, go to https://youtu.be/v8X-XJfEM9w.

Many are familiar with the traditional understandings of what took place on the cross, Jesus’ death and resurrection overcoming sin. This course will explore both this traditional understanding and expand that view by looking at the power of the cross effective also for those who are sinned against. Through biblical exploration, we journey from sin to redemption and simultaneously from hurt to healing, both paths converging at the cross, ultimately resulting in rejoicing! This eight-week class will take a two week break during Spring Break and Holy Week for a reflective experience. Each class lasts approximately 1 ½ hours. Materials needed: your Bible.

If you have completed a Beginning Watercolor Class or used to paint in the past this is the class for you. I want to refresh your painting memory and give you a different way of looking for art in your world. I want to help you bring back or learn some new skills with these stepped-up classes. There will be a variety of projects and skills for you to experience, so come back to the joy you want to remember or just learn. A $5.00 copy fee will be due to the teacher in the first session of classes. You will receive a supply list, a pattern for the first session before classes start and a collage of the classes I will be teaching you.
