Dance,
dance, dance at the Lincoln Park District. Rest up before you
come, because Audra is going to have you dancing like a star. For
three mornings in a row you'll get to experience jazz, ballet and
clogging. Each dancer will also double as their own choreographer.
Let Audra teach you how to apply some new moves to your favorite
song. Special shoes are not needed, but please wear something other
than socks. Previous experience is not necessary. Families and
friends will be invited to a demonstration on the last day.
Teaching this dance class is Audra, the owner of Audra's
Studio of Dance, who is also a master graduate of Dance
Educators of America. She is also the director of the award-winning
Flying Feet Cloggers and Competition Teams. You can't help but
notice how much Audra loves to share her craft with young people. If
you are 6 or older, join the dancers Wednesday through Friday, July
14-16, from 9 to 10:30 a.m.
Summer
Field Trip Blast -- YMCA staff members will take the
children (maximum of 13 children) to the Splashdown water park for a
day of fun. The kids will need to bring a sack lunch, proper attire
for the trip, sunblock, water bottle and a spare change of clothes
for the ride home. This program will meet for pickup and drop-off at
the Y Activity Center on Wyatt Avenue. Groups will be going on July
16 and Aug. 6. Call 735-3915 or visit
