Instructor: Rita Paradis (6 weeks) Atmospheric Landscape - Let your memory and imagination inspire you as you create beautiful landscapes. Will graciously shares the techniques which allow him to paint from his imagination and memories.

Day two will consist of starting new works as well as finishing up the previous day’s work, with guidance and instruction from Will on both days.

5:30 PM - 6:15 PM    Dance with Me: Intro to Ballet & Tap (adult & child class) - Dance with Me: Fall 2026
In this introductory ballet and tap dance class, children will experience the fun of simple preliminary ballet movements and beginner tap movements with a parent or caregiver. The children will develop their motor skills, interact with peers and with the help of their parent/caregiver get a taste of this wonderful performance art form. Adult/child pairs will learn one short ballet and one short tap dance for families to view on the last day of class. Tap shoes are a must for the children; leotard, tights and ballet slippers are recommended but not required. Adults are welcome to wear tap shoes, ballet slippers and dance attire if they so desire, but athletic shoes and clothing are sufficient for the adults. This is a great way to bond and have fun while introducing dance to your child!
