CONTINUING BOTANICAL DRAWING
(TEENS & ADULTS, 13+)
Still didn’t get enough summer fun? In the Art
Scouts Compressed class we squeeze most of
the Art Scouts Fun into two 5 hour sessions on

singing, string tricks, pass-around drawings, paper
mache and a clay project will all be crammed in
for the most possible fun and creativity. Adults
are welcome to sign up with their kids because
you deserve to have some fun too before the
carpooling, homework and stress take over. Pack
a lunch! (Class fee includes a $10 materials fee.)
For those students who have taken Botanical
Drawing (or have prior drawing experience) we
will continue our experimental yet observationbased approach, but with less emphasis on formal

This class will not only introduce young girls to
the dances listed, but they will also learn about
the countries and cultures associated with them
and the history that the dances share. They will
learn muscle isolation and hip control through
traditional belly dance (Egypt, Turkey, and others),
and rock out to the fun beats of Bollywood. In
Flamenco (Spain), girls will develop good posture
and grace through beautiful arm and hand
movements, and they will learn to make music
with their hands (palmas) and feet (zapateado). In
addition to physical exercise benefits, this class
will build motor coordination, body awareness
and self-esteem in a fun environment. They will
learn choreographed dances, and they will have an
opportunity to perform at a recital for family and
friends on the last day of camp.

Coordinated breathing is as easy as poised stature
and an easy exhalation prompting a full and easy
inhalation. You will learn to improve you voice in
speaking or singing and minimize the negative
aspects of over-muscling. (Recommended previous Alexander lessons or a private lesson with
the instructor).
