SUMMARY:Got Sun? Grow Food!

Perfect for beginners and small-space gardeners. \nLocation: Adventure Classroom \nInstructor: Karen Mitchell\nKaren Mitchell retired from AT&T in 2008 after 31 years. She was certified as a Master Gardener in 2009\, and her first project was spearheading the initial planting of the Hand in Hand Children’s Garden at United Ability of Birmingham.

In past years\, Karen chaired the vegetable booth at the Friends of Birmingham Botanical Gardens’ Spring Plant Sale\, and deems herself a vegetable gardening evangelist. Karen also loves hydrangeas and is the past president of the Alabama Hydrangea Society.

SUMMARY:Belly Dance Cane Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will focus on dancing with a cane\, also known as raqs al Assaya. This type of dance is considered a folkloric style and was derived from the men’s tahtib\, a martial arts dance that uses long canes. Don’t worry. We won’t be doing martial arts! Raqs al Assaya is flirty and its movements are more grounded. \nWe will work on combos with the cane\, twirling techniques\, and movements that are unique to this style. This workshop is open to all levels but some previous dance experience may be helpful. \nThere will be a 10 minute break during this workshop. There are water fountains available just outside the dance studio. Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move around freely. This class will be taught barefoot but feel free to wear dance shoes or socks with grips. \nThe cost for the workshop is $40 which can be paid the day of with cash\, Venmo\, or Cash App.
