reminder: Kick Butt Body Conditioning Workshop this week!

by Thomas Wisniewski

Dear Arts enthusiasts, Just a quick reminder that registration is open for the "Kick Butt Body Conditioning Workshop" with Paula Wilson from New York City. See below for details. In order to reserve your place in the workshop, go to the Dudley House office during normal business hours to register in person. We expect this workshop to fill up quickly this week, so if you are interested, be sure to act soon. "The Kick Butt Body Conditioning Workshop": a special body conditioning workshop with Paula Wilson from NYC! Farkas Hall Dance Studio (formerly the New College Theater) Friday, May 4th, 5-7pm $10 (per-registration open now!) **Registration is now open for a very special workshop with visiting professional dancer, Paula Wilson, from NYC. Spots are limited, so sign up in the Dudley House office (third floor) as early as possible to reserve a spot in this exciting workshop tailored for anyone who wants to train the body in a series of easy-to-do exercises and specifically designed to strengthen dancers' core muscles.** Description and bio: "The Kick Butt Body Conditioning Workshop" Similar muscle groups are used for multiple partner dances. The more control you have over them, the better you can dance. This 2-hour workshop explores 17 easy-to-do exercises culled from Pilates, Gyrotonics/Gyrokinesis, Yoga, Aerobics, Callanetics, and classical dance that strengthen the muscle groups most important for dances such as tango, swing, salsa, and zouk. It is also a great class for people who simply want to vary their workout. No special equipment is required and all exercises are easy on the knees and lower back. Wear comfortable clothes that are easy to move in. To get the most out of the workshop, please bring a tennis ball, a towel, a bottle of water, a pencil, and a notebook. Bio: Due to an injury as a child, Paula Wilson did not begin dancing until she was 19. Two years later, she was accepted to a conservatory program in New York. After completing the course, she danced professionally for various stage, television, and music video projects. She also fell in love with tango, swing, and zouk, and began to form her own conditioning series in order to remain injury free. She combined her experience as a trained dancer, her understanding of adult beginner dancers, and her training in rehabilitative movement, and traditional conditioning practices, into the "Kick Butt Body Conditioning Workshop". She has taught all over the world, including South Korea, Argentina, and the US, and loves sharing her knowledge with other partner dancers. See the Dudley Arts website for more info. Best wishes, Thomas
