Now it’s your turn! You have sent the kids back to school and now it is time for you to explore learning a new language, tap your creative side in arts or writing or enjoy a fall afternoon on a V.I.P. tour of an art studio/gallery or discover the secrets and history of Washington Irving’s storybook cottage.
Classes start September 9 and throughout September at the Center for Continuing Education. Says Executive Director Diane Cashman, “We are pleased to have added several new instructors, programs and staff to continue to meet the interests of our community and engage learners of all ages.”
Foreign language classes in Spanish, French, Italian and German continue as popular offerings and are taught by native speakers in an experiential and engaging manner. Beyond Beginner classes in Spanish and Italian are perfect for those who know simple vocabulary and present tense while more advanced speakers can sharpen fluency with Coffee/Conversation and Wine Tasting sessions.
New teachers include: Nora Brunet, of Nora’s Ovenworks, teaching cake decorating; Bob Clyatt, a contemporary relief sculptor who will provide a private tour of his studio; and Elizabeth Bradley, who will lead a book discussion and V.I.P. visit to Washington Irving’s Sunnyside in conjunction with the bi-centennial of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.
The Center is offering new ways to keep toes tapping including Broadway Basics with a Beat, Beginner Belly Dancing, Musical Chair Yoga and Irish Dancing, with Declan Crowley from Lord of the Dance. The Center also welcomes nutritionist Valerie Green who will discuss Feeding the Empty New and Your 50+ Body, and travel writer Evelyn Kanter, author of 100 Things to Do in New York City Before You Die.
