Hey check out these cool classes!
What is in it for you
Well aside from feeling great because you move your body and get your blood flowing...
Taking these classes will help you construct a stronger kinesthetic range, the ability to ulilize your body more fully as you speak, craft greater ease with physical interactions, and utilize architecture and conceptual images as source material for scene or charater development.
WOW!-- thats right, a simple class from another discipline can work all of those muscles

ps
I am taking this venture month by month in terms of booking space. I think I am going to keep working the Sunday late morning time slot, unless there are specific requests for other days.
slow and steady wins the race--right?!?
