Teens 13-15 years old will build strength, improve speed, agility, and coordination. This program is designed for each student to set fitness goals as we track and conquer them. Train at your own pace and build self-confidence with a preset number of timed exercises with a partner or on teams. Together we will work on self-defense with boxing skills and drills. Instructor will provide the boxing gloves and punch mitts. No contact other than the gloves to the mitts. If you prefer, you may bring your own. Challenge your core strength with throw downs, planks, bucket carry and so much more to build lean muscle! Have you ever tried a pull up or a sandbag squat?
Learn how here! Warm up to cool down will be packed full of fun fitness and challenges. Class will either start or finish with a game for more teamwork fun and good sportsmanship. Join Miss Kristin AFAA (Aerobics & Fitness Association of America), Certified Group Fitness Instructor for this brand new class offering! Please bring water and athletic shoes. A mouthguard is recommended for the boxing part of the class.

Wednesday - Ceramics Studio - 004: 10:00 am - 11:50 am
Description:
Students will use hand building techniques (pinching, coil building, slab work and kurinuki) to create functional wares. There will be a variety of follow along projects and time and space for exploring their own ideas. Focus will be invited to give attention to the elements of design as we analyze the thickness of the piece, the feel of the shape in the hand, the balance of any attachments such as handles or knobs, the finish of the piece: does it feel too heavy, too rough, are the joins well attended and clean? We will also explore a variety of surface decoration techniques such as: sgraffito, Mishima, wax and paper resist, and slip trailing.
