Park district notes

From Roy Logan, program coordinator

[July 06, 2011]  The Lincoln Park District welcomes back veteran dance instructor Audra Turley. She is the owner of Audra's Studio of Dance, a master graduate of Dance Educators of America and the director of the award-winning Flying Feet Cloggers and Competition Teams. For three mornings in a row, class participants will experience jazz, ballet and clogging. Dancers will also double as their own choreographers, as Audra teaches how to apply new moves to their favorite songs. The three-day class will start Wednesday, July 13, and end Friday, July 15, with one-hour sessions beginning at 9:30 a.m. 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.

Park district pool passes are now half-price. Buy a pool pass and enjoy swimming as often as you want the rest of the season. A flat fee can cover an individual or an entire family.

The park district's last session of swim lessons kicks off on July 18 and ends on July 29. Each one-week session consists of several skill levels. From youngsters who have no swimming ability to adults wanting to improve their skills, there is instruction available.

Still ahead on the horizon is the park district's annual Splashapalooza Pool Party with CITV 5 on Tuesday, July 19, from 1 to 3 p.m. Added to the "Soda Scramble" will be a "Flip Flop Float." Fun will be had by all.

Another offering will be a Senior Resource Fair. Join this community-based affair on Thursday, July 21, from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The park district will host a number of agencies that offer services to seniors in particular. Come out and enjoy this free event and see what is being offered. More details will be released closer to the date.
