Designed for dancers ages 7 to 11, this Level III tap class emphasizes a Broadway style approach. Participants refine rhythmic clarity and pattern work, train musical timing, sharpen precision, and develop control and memorization while learning to make music with their feet. The curriculum also highlights the form’s roots, showing how European folk steps such as the Irish jig and English clogging combined with West African stepping to shape a distinctly American tradition. Tuition is $360. Dress code for girls is a black leotard with light peach pink ballet tights, paired with tan buckle Mary Jane tap shoes from Capezio or Bloch that feature a secure sole and taps fastened with screws. Boys wear black leggings or jazz pants with a white T-shirt, along with black lace-up Capezio Premiere tap shoes. Optional layers such as ballet skirts, leg warmers, and fitted dance sweaters are welcome.

Discover an easy, beginner-friendly way to preserve your photos with a hands-on scrapbooking class built around Creative Memories Simple Page Kits. These kits streamline choices so you can turn a stack of pictures into a polished 12x12 album without needing design experience. The guided, step-by-step approach helps you tell a complete story with a classic style that fits any theme, from everyday moments to weddings, baby books, or memorials, and is appreciated by seasoned crafters as well. During the session, you will learn how the kits work, practice techniques for building pages, and complete two finished pages to take home. Please bring 5 to 10 photos, ideally tied to one theme, though that is not required. The class fee is $10 per person and includes materials, and light refreshments will be provided. Class size is limited. Participants can view a selection of current Creative Memories products in person and may purchase items if desired, with no obligation to buy. The hosts also offer Open Scrap Crops at least once per month for $10, and when you purchase any combination of ten Beginner Classes or Open Scrap Crops, the eleventh session is free. Young children may attend only if they are participating in the class with the standard fee, infants are an exception, and all children must be supervised by a responsible adult age 18 or older. Pre-registration is required. A confirmation email will be sent with full event details, and registration is not complete unless that message is received. Questions can be directed by email or through the Lady Slipper Legacies Facebook page.
