What is Clogging?
Clogging is a truly an American dance form the began in the Appalachian Mountains and now enjoy widespread popularity throughout the United States and around the world. This style of dance can be accompanied by traditional fiddle and bluegrass music OR it can be accompanied by country, pop or even rock music! We will be EXPLORING ALL genres of music in this class.

No dance experience necessary - this is right FROM SCRATCH!

CLOGGING IS LOWER IMPACT!
Clog dancing can be done by folks well into their 80's and beyond. Clogging is similar to Tap Dance as it is a "percussive style" dance but it is a very achievable style of dance for many people. It is both great body and mind workout a lot of jumping or hopping.

What to wear/Footwear
We do wear Tap Shoes in this class. The sound is very important for this style. Tap shoes aren't required for the first couple of classes. Paula can help you with this. Please wear comfortable breathable clothing and bring water.

Wed, 08 Apr 2026 15:45:00 GMT

Instructor: Gina Komanac

Chair yoga is a general term for practices that modify yoga poses so that they can be done while seated in a chair. These modifications make yoga accessible to people who cannot stand or lack the mobility to move easily from standing to seated to supine positions. Many of the basic body mechanics of the individual postures are retained, no matter the stance of the practitioner. Great fun for all!

This chair yoga follows the Hatha Yoga style. The Hatha Yoga style introduce gentle stretches, deep breathing, relaxation, meditation and limbering of the joints. Hatha yoga can really help benefit students with all movement including focus on back/core strengthening. The balancing standing poses can help prevent injury. Stretches' with ankles, knees and hip help with mobility and greater flexibility. The standing poses for seniors help with balance and better mobility.

Gina has a Certificate in Hatha Yoga Teacher Training from Sunshine Yoga May 2011, 200 Hours.

Meditation, Relaxation and Limbering of the Joints & Glands with the Traditional Hatha Yoga Instruction. Breathing, Mediation and Relaxation along with asana (poses).

Summary

There is no instructor, but we share ideas and techniques. The group will lend you some tools to try out during the introduction, but each participant must have their own tools after that. As a minimum, a carving knife, gouge, sandpaper are needed, or if using power tools a Dremel and burrs. Wear work clothes and have a good apron to catch the shavings and dust. Participants, both men and women, range from beginner and up. A fee is charged for the wood rough cut.

INSTRUCTOR: No instructor – self-directed, ideas and techniques are shared
EQUIPMENT REQUIRED: Small hand tools, carving knife, gouge, sandpaper. Optional: power tools (Dremel
CLOTHING: Work clothes and apron.
LEVEL: From beginner and up.
ADDITIONAL FEES: Fee charged for wood rough cut.

Description

The Wood Carving Club enjoys carving a variety of subjects including birds, animals and caricatures in the round and in relief. Carvings are normally in basswood which, although classified as a hardwood, is relatively easy to work with sharp hand tools and often has a fine, straight grain.

The group chooses a common project and arranges the bulk purchase of basswood in order to share the cost between members. The bulk basswood is cut out into a rough shape for the project by one of the members using a bandsaw. Members can choose to complete the project or work on a project of their own.

Some members may even complete more than one carving as each member works at their own pace. Carvings can be completed with just a sharp carving knife; however the addition of a carving gouge(s), and files can be useful. Over time, most add other tools. Some carvers use sandpaper.

Carvers work on their projects while seated at a table. A shop apron is also a good idea but is not essential. Completed carvings can be painted, sealed with a clear sealing material or left unfinished. A burning tool can also be used to accent the woodcarving.

Step-by-step instruction is not provided; however, member will assist beginners with carving tool selection, sharpening and usage. Since a number of members are completing the same carving project there is ample opportunity to observe the carving process at different stages and in different styles.

One of the best ways to learn woodcarving is to observe and to attempt a carving yourself. If you have woodcarving tools, bring them along. Members will also be happy to provide information on where to purchase carving tools.

If you are interested in woodcarving, come join us for a sesson and try out some of our tools (or bring your own) to see if this activity is for you.
