Monday - Dance Studio B - 118: 11:00 am - 11:50 am
Description:
This is an upbeat, fun and fast paced dance class that will incorporate multiple styles of dance such as contemporary, modern, jazz and ballet. Students will learn dance history and have an opportunity to create some of their our choreography for our Spring show. Previous dance classes are a must for your child to get the most out of this experience. Students will focus on turns, jumps, leaps, kicks and isolation's. We will warm up, stretch, do center work and across the floor exercises. Students are encouraged to explore their own style and artistry through the exposure to various styles. Along with technique we will practice expressing the emotion that makes dance come alive. Some parts will be rigorous and we will work up a sweat. Comfortable dance clothes and hair pulled off the face are preferred.Students in this class will be performing in our wonderful Spring Dance Show that is focused on the life of Christ. This class will be performing in the Spring Dance Shows the week of May 16-22, final dates TBD. Details will be provided in full at our mandatory parent meeting to be held at 7pm on Monday, February 28th. (We are adjusting some things that should enable students to invite more family and friends to enjoy the event. We are considering all young student and level one classes to be split among the performances, but also to offer more performances that will allow better viewing opportunities and parking.) Parental attendance to this meeting is mandatory in order to ensure clarity of information and the success of your dancer’s performance. Please read the updated class syllabus that is pinned to your class channel. Students taking multiple classes (or siblings) receive 25% off their second class taken with the same instructor. Fees may be paid monthly or by semester. Costume fees for the Spring Show are due at Spring registration. (Estimated $25 to rent.) Wear clothes and shoes easy to dance in. Students are encouraged to stretch and practice what they learn in class at home a few minutes each day.
Students will use hand building techniques (pinching, coil building, slab work and kurinuki) to create functional wares. Functional wares may include: mug, plate, bird house, bowl, spoon rest, toothbrush holder, etc. Focus will be invited to give attention to the thickness of the piece, the finish of the piece: does it feel too heavy, too rough, are the joins well attended and clean? Creativity is invited to the class; functional pottery is amazing to explore.

Your Faith and Current Events

Spring 2024
Theology

Schedule:
Wednesday - Classroom - 228: 10:00 am - 10:50 am
Description:
This class is designed to be an extension of Defending Your Faith, but can be taken as a stand alone course, or at the same time. (Since this class is based on ever changing current events; topics and discussion can change from term to term.)
The world is taking aim at Christianity from every angle. The Bible asks us to be in the world but not of it. As Christians, how do we respond to events happening around us in a Godly and Biblical way? The idea of this class is to engage in a Bible centered and lively discussion while opposing viewpoints are presented. Come and learn how to have tough discussions from a Biblical worldview about current events that you face in day to day life.
