Culinary Arts

Because of its popularity, we held 3  of our Baking and Culinary Workshops in the spring of 2019.  It offered instruction in following a recipe, measuring ingredients accurately, knife and kitchen appliance safety, oven and stove safety, plus using electrical outlets safely.  Participants had fun learning about cooking and baking in a pleasant environment then were able to enjoy their creations with fellow students afterwards. This is sure to be a regularly planned event!

Painting & Drawing

Our art class always produces an inspiring, fun and creative environment.  Learn about the magic of painting, sketching, shading techniques, abstract expressionism, and the power of color therapy.  Enjoy creating plant life, still life, perspective landscape and seascape. Let your imagination and creativity soar with elements of design, calligraphy and more.  You will leave the program with pieces of your own and increased confidence in an array of fresh new skills.

Dance

In the past, our dance classes have included a variety of dance styles and have been geared toward youth and teens but we have also offered dance classes for children who love to develop their skills and perform.  The training culminates in a choreographed piece that is performed at the completion of the classes. We plan around what is shown the greatest interest so please let us know what dance style has the most appeal to you.
