Elizabeth Clark, a choreographer and dance educator, invites parents or guardians and their children to join her Intergenerational Dance class. The class is designed for children aged 4 and older, with a focus on maintaining attention throughout the hour-long lesson. However, younger children are welcome to attend with an adult who can support their participation.

Assisting Elizabeth are Remy and Sara, who will help guide participants through an Introduction to Dance. The class will incorporate creative images, games, music, and imaginative stories that encourage free movement and interaction between parent and child. This dynamic interplay between generations creates a unique learning environment and a chance to explore something new together.

If you're looking to introduce your child to dance in a supportive and engaging atmosphere, this class promises to be a wonderful opportunity for both of you 🩰🩰

Join Nicole Herbst for another Felt Painting workshop in July and August!

Felting is a unique and creative art form that involves transforming loose fibers into solid and intricate shapes. Using various techniques such as wet felting and needle felting, artists are able to create stunning and tactile masterpieces. Each fiber is carefully layered, intertwined, and manipulated to create texture, depth, and dimension. Whether it's a delicate flower, a whimsical animal, or a vibrant landscape, felting allows artists to bring their imagination to life with softness and charm. With its versatility and endless possibilities, felting has captured the hearts of many artists and enthusiasts, who find solace and joy in the therapeutic process of manipulating the wool with their hands.
