Get your creativity flowing with our Creative Connections Course! We will combine drawing, inking, painting, and unconventional tools and techniques to design unique art pieces. While waiting for the paint to dry we will do activities, play games, and use brainstorming techniques to create stories and poems. Be prepared to dig deep and discover your passion for creative thinking! *** Registering for a morning and an afternoon class at the same location? Join the "Lunch Bunch!" Community Education will provide a supervised hour between classes for you to enjoy the lunch you brought from home, then will get you to your afternoon class. Lunches should be nut-free and should include a beverage. No resources are available for refrigeration or to heat lunches, so plan accordingly.

Introduce your elementary-aged dancer to the elegance of ballet and the beauty of lyrical dance. In this three-session summer class, students will explore graceful movements, storytelling through dance, and creative expression in a supportive and fun environment. Dancers should wear a leotard and tights, or shorts or leggings and a close-fitting t-shirt or top.

Part 1: Letting Go In this section, students will learn the basics of toss juggling using one to three objects, as well as explore tricks using a single ball. Together, the class will examine the curious question: What is a “trick”? Students will collaborate in groups to create juggling sequences, develop original tricks, and share their discoveries with others. Part 2: Balance as Action This part of the class introduces students to the fundamentals of actively balancing one or more objects. They will explore the question: How does balance relate to a “trick”? By the end of the session, students will create and present an expressive piece that shares what you discover. Note: Wear closed toed shoes and comfortable clothes you can move around in.

Tumble, dance, and pose your way through this active learning experience. We will combine elements of ballet, jazz, tap, tumbling, yoga, and meditation into a whirlwind of fun that will teach your child new ways to process and express their emotions and energy in a challenging, fun, and safe way! *** Registering for a morning and an afternoon class at the same location?

Mama Pig hires the Hay Farmers, Lumberjacks, and Brick Layers to build each of her piggies their own house.
