SUMMARY:Fine Arts Festival 2024
DESCRIPTION:The ACHEV Fine Arts Festival is back!  This year it will be held at 6:00 PM on Saturday\, March 9th at Temple Avenue Baptist Church in Camarillo.  The Arts Festival is a wonderful time for our students to share their God-given talents.  This is a non-judged activity\, designed to appreciate the talents of our ACHEV homeschool community.  Due to time constraints\, we may need to limit the number of activities per person (i.e.\, 2 solo events) depending on how many entries we receive. \nWe’ve had an amazing response in the past with such creative entries as comedic skits\, dance\, bands\, mime\, poetry reading\, excerpts from plays\, films\, instrumental solos (piano\, guitar\, harp\, violin…)\, vocal solos\, photography\, drawings\, sewing\, knitting\, models and more.  This is a great opportunity to recognize and encourage the hard work that goes into developing these life-enriching skills. \nWe ask that all performing and fine art be appropriate for families with young children and glorifying to God. When our families come together as a group\, we hope to create an atmosphere that allows for consideration and grace. \nValues we trust every ACHEV family to embrace are: \n\nArtist/performer – Personal opinions and freedoms can and should at times be humbly set aside temporarily for the sake of the community. A good rule of thumb is if you have any concern it might offend\, chose something safer to perform/create/wear. Remember all ages may be present\, and ask yourself\, “Will it honor God?”\, and “Will it bless those who hear and see?”\nAudience – There is a time and place to graciously make allowances for the differing opinions about what is appropriate to perform/create/wear. Since this event serves our entire membership\, we can expect our diverse community to be just that: diverse. That is part of the beauty of community. We offer benefit of the doubt that each participant sincerely desires to honor God and bless those who hear and see.\n\n_____________________________________________________________________________________ \nPlease fill out your submission forms no later than Friday February 23rd.  There is a good deal of planning that needs to be done ahead of the event to coordinate all the performances\, create and print the program\, etc.  If you can submit your form earlier\, that is very helpful.  We will not be accepting submissions after the deadline.  You must submit a separate form for each piece of artwork and each performance.  Visual Arts need to be dropped off no later than Sunday February 25th (form is still required by Feb 23rd). \nTo make this event happen\, we need all parents to volunteer.  We are asking every family to bring a plate of cookies/finger-snacks to share AND to volunteer for one of the jobs listed in the Google Form linked below.  We will contact you before the festival to let you know what your job will be.  Thank you for all of your help! \nClick on the forms below to sign up!\nVolunteer Form (required for all families) \nVisual Arts Entry Form \nPerforming Arts Entry Form \nPlease drop off your fine art no later than Sunday February 25th. \nCamarillo Art Drop Off: \nHolly Larson: 1670 Birchspring Walk\, Camarillo\, CA 93012  Call or text to arrange drop off 805-302-9045.  Porch drop off. \nVentura Art Drop Off:   \nVanessa Espinoza:10926 Telegraph Rd. Apt 104\, Ventura\, CA 93004  Call or text to arrange drop off 805-443-1738 \n\nPlease help us make the fine arts presentation beautiful and honor your child’s artwork by putting it in a frame.  You can borrow a frame from something else in your house\, buy used from the thrift store\, or reach out on ACHEV members facebook page and ask to borrow something.  If it is a stretched canvas\, a frame is not needed.\n

SUMMARY:Peter & the Wolf: The Voice\, the Instrument\, and the Wolf
DESCRIPTION:What: Join us for a concert featuring story telling and the best music written for young musicians including pieces from Peter and the Wolf\, The Greatest Showman\, and the Mandalorian. \nCalvary Center Stage is cordially inviting your school to attend a production of Peter & the Wolf and other concert pieces in collaboration with Los Robles Children’s Choir and the Conejo Valley Youth Orchestra. This is a free event\, but a reservation is necessary to secure seats.   I have reserved 30 seats for ACHEV.  I should be able to secure more seats if I know that more people want to go\, so please sign up\, and if it is full already put yourself on the wait list. There is only one date for the show on Friday\, March 15@ 10:00 am. The show will run approximately 45 minutes\, and students will have an opportunity to play some of the instruments in the lobby after the concert. \nAlthough the performance is only 45 minutes\, students will have a chance to try some of the instruments in the lobby after the concert. This will be made available until 11:15 am. \nI would like to meet up in front a little early (before doors open at 9:30) so we can try to go in as a group.  Last year\, they did have special assigned seating by group.  As the event gets closer\, I will confirm with them what the seating arrangements will be and let everyone know what to do and where to meet. \nSign Up Here.   Sign up deadline is March 7\, 2024.  Please include all students and parents attending on the sign up sheet.\n \n

SUMMARY:Elementary PE Group
DESCRIPTION:3/15 – this meeting is at PV Fields playground https://www.pvrpd.org/pleasant-valley-fields \nWhat: Please join us in engaging our younger elementary children in teaching them how to work as a team and develop perseverance\, good sportsmanship and friendships through physical activity.  Our goal is to choose activities that will challenge the kids a bit\, but something that they can be successful at.  Structured PE activities will be 30 minutes long and not more than 45 minutes. Afterwards we will have optional free play. \nParents will take turns organizing/planning/leading the activities and do a different activity every month. If you need equipment\, reach out to the other parents or ACHEVmoms on Facebook to see if it can be obtained/borrowed for free\, or come up with another idea that doesn’t require equipment you don’t have.  We are not expecting anyone to spend $$ on equipment.  Some examples: Relay races\, duck duck goose/Simon Says/Red light-Green Light\, trash can basketball\, Capture the Flag\, Freeze Tag/Blob tag\, dodgeball\, jump rope games\, push up games\, track and field games\, etc. \nWho: ACHEV members under 10 and parents.  ACHEV members over 10 are welcome to come and help the younger kids with the activities\, sit and watch\, or go play volleyball with the ACHEV volleyball group at Pitts Ranch.  Drop off is ok for ACHEV volleyball (please see calendar for details on volleyball). \nElementary PE is not a drop off event\, and parents should be available and willing to help their children through the activities\, giving assistance and encouragement as needed.  \nElementary PE is a co-op\, but will remain open for ACHEV members to join us any time. Please consider joining us regularly and helping plan activities.   We need to have a core group of people that intend to prioritize this activity on their calendar.  The dates for the whole school year are printed below and all dates are also on the ACHEV calendar. All Fridays.  We will meet at Pitts Ranch Park with the exception of two dates that we anticipate will be at PV Fields (Camarillo).  Details will be kept up to date on the calendar.  Please email or text Bonnie Adair 805-504-6457 bonnieadair@verizon.net if you are interested in joining us.  We need to know how many children will be present in order to help with activity planning. \n\n\n\n9/29/23\n\n\n\n10/13/23\nPV Fields\n\n\n10/27/23\n\n\n\n11/10/23\n\n\n\n12/1/23\n\n\n\n12/15/23\n\n\n\n1/19/24\n\n\n\n2/2/24\n\n\n\n2/16/24\n\n\n\n3/1/24\n\n\n\n3/15/24\nPV Fields\n\n\n4/19/24\n\n\n\n5/3/2024\n\n\n\n5/24/2024\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Ballroom Dance: Nightclub Two Step Lessons
DESCRIPTION:What: Private ballroom dance classes for ACHEV at House of Dance – Lesson for 45 minutes\, dance practice to music for 15 minutes.  This is an 8-class series taking place on Wednesdays April 3\, 10\, 17\, 24 and May 1\, 8\, 15\, 22.  We will start at the beginning level.  If you would like to join this class\, you need to start with us on April 3.  We will not be able to add new people once the series has begun. \nIn April & May\, we will be learning Nightclub Two Step: Nightclub Two Step was developed in the 1960s by a 15-year-old West Coast Swing dancer from Whitaker\, Illinois named Buddy Schwimmer. Buddy Schwimmer invented the dance in 1965. He developed the Nightclub Two Step while practicing with his sister as he searched for a way to popularize slow ballad music. He noticed that during their high school parties\, most of his friends stood still and shuffled in place when slow\, romantic songs played. He felt there was a need for a more interesting alternative to dancing to slow music so he created a dance called the Night Club Two Step. When Buddy opened a dance studio in Costa Mesa\, California years later in 1978\, he began teaching the Nightclub Two Step that can still be found in ballrooms and night clubs today.   \nThe Nightclub Two Step is a great alternative for dancers who want to go beyond a simple slow dance with their partner. It’s a great dance to learn how to dance to slow music. It is often used to compete as a country dance\, but it is also danced to easy listening\, smooth jazz\, and R&B music. Today\, the Nightclub Two Step can be danced as a stationary dance\, a dance that travels around the dance floor in the line of dance\, or a combination of the two.  More Fun Facts about Nightclub Two Step \nWho: ACHEV members\, grads & guests 11 and up.  ACHEV Members can invite guests: guests do not need to be ACHEV members\, but need to be homeschooled.  Please clear invited homeschooling friends through Bonnie at bonnieadair@verizon.net.   Current ACHEV members are given priority on the sign up sheet\, ACHEV grads next\, and then guests.  ACHEV members\, sign up asap because I will start adding grads and guests as I see space available\, or a need to fill spots.  We must have equal number boys and girls in order for the class to work.  We can keep a waitlist in case space opens up prior to the first class in a series.  Minimum of 4 boys and 4 girls in order to hold these classes.  Partners rotate throughout the class. \nWhere: House of Dance \, 3007 Bunsen Ave\, Ventura 93003   https://www.pmhouseofdance.com/ \nWhen: Wednesdays 4pm – 5:00 pm \nCost: $40 per student per month\, payable by 4/3 & 5/1.    Pay in advance via Venmo or Zelle (info at https://www.pmhouseofdance.com/)  Or pay with cash or check when you arrive on those dates.  If you pay via Venmo or Zelle\, please include a note “ACHEV Homeschool class” \nWhat to Bring & Wear: Bring your own water bottles.  There is no drinking fountain.  There is no special dress code\, other than ACHEV’s general dress code for all events which is\, “modest and appropriate for the occasion”.   Some girls choose to wear dresses and skirts\, but you can wear pants or shorts.  Boys can wear pants or shorts.  Be comfortable.  If you do not have felt bottomed dance shoes (felt bottomed dance shoes are ideal)\, try to choose a shoe that is not grippy and rubbery on bottom.  Leather soled dress shoes or Vans-type skateboard shoes are okay.  Absolutely NO flip flops.  No sandals\, no Uggs.  Boots are not good for ballroom or swing dancing.  You want to be able to slide/glide on the floor\, turn easily on your toes and point your toes. \nPayment Policy: \nPayment for each series is due in full at the beginning of the first class of the month.  There will be no refunds or credits for missed classes.  We understand that sometimes illness or unexpected circumstances come up on short notice\, but in order to keep these classes affordable\, House of Dance cannot issue refunds or credits.    If you know before a series starts that you will need to miss a class\, please check with the organizer to make sure that will be okay before signing up (it depends on a variety of factors)\, and the full amount of the series will still be due at the first class. \nThese classes are not drop-in classes.  Signing up in advance is required.  If you sign up for a series\, your classmates are counting on you to be there for all the classes other than illness or other unavoidable/unforeseen circumstances\, because these classes are most enjoyable when everyone has a partner.  Additionally\, learning dance is sequential and if you are not able to attend the first class\, or will have to miss more than one class\, it can be difficult to catch up and it can hold up others in the class. \nIf you have special circumstances\, please feel free to talk to me about it!  Considering this is a 3 month class\, it is more likely there might be a conflict with a family trip or something of that nature.  If you have to miss one or two\, it might be ok\, but please check with me first if you know you will be gone for a class or two.  Bonnieadair@verizon.net or 805-504-6457 call or text. \nWe must have an even number of boys and girls.  Any girls in excess of boys\, or vice versa\, are considered to be on the waitlist.  We must have a minimum of 4 boys and 4 girls to proceed with the class. \nSign Up Here for Nightclub Two Step April & May 2024\nQuestions?

He felt there was a need for a more interesting alternative to dancing to slow music so he created a dance called the Night Club Two Step. When Buddy opened a dance studio in Costa Mesa\, California years later in 1978\, he began teaching the Nightclub Two Step that can still be found in ballrooms and night clubs today.   \nThe Nightclub Two Step is a great alternative for dancers who want to go beyond a simple slow dance with their partner. It’s a great dance to learn how to dance to slow music. It is often used to compete as a country dance\, but it is also danced to easy listening\, smooth jazz\, and R&B music. Today\, the Nightclub Two Step can be danced as a stationary dance\, a dance that travels around the dance floor in the line of dance\, or a combination of the two.  More Fun Facts about Nightclub Two Step \nWho: ACHEV members\, grads & guests 11 and up.  ACHEV Members can invite guests: guests do not need to be ACHEV members\, but need to be homeschooled.  Please clear invited homeschooling friends through Bonnie at bonnieadair@verizon.net.   Current ACHEV members are given priority on the sign up sheet\, ACHEV grads next\, and then guests.  ACHEV members\, sign up asap because I will start adding grads and guests as I see space available\, or a need to fill spots.  We must have equal number boys and girls in order for the class to work.  We can keep a waitlist in case space opens up prior to the first class in a series.  Minimum of 4 boys and 4 girls in order to hold these classes.  Partners rotate throughout the class. \nWhere: House of Dance \, 3007 Bunsen Ave\, Ventura 93003   https://www.pmhouseofdance.com/ \nWhen: Wednesdays 4pm – 5:00 pm \nCost: $40 per student per month\, payable by 4/3 & 5/1.    Pay in advance via Venmo or Zelle (info at https://www.pmhouseofdance.com/)  Or pay with cash or check when you arrive on those dates.  If you pay via Venmo or Zelle\, please include a note “ACHEV Homeschool class” \nWhat to Bring & Wear: Bring your own water bottles.  There is no drinking fountain.  There is no special dress code\, other than ACHEV’s general dress code for all events which is\, “modest and appropriate for the occasion”.   Some girls choose to wear dresses and skirts\, but you can wear pants or shorts.  Boys can wear pants or shorts.  Be comfortable.  If you do not have felt bottomed dance shoes (felt bottomed dance shoes are ideal)\, try to choose a shoe that is not grippy and rubbery on bottom.  Leather soled dress shoes or Vans-type skateboard shoes are okay.  Absolutely NO flip flops.  No sandals\, no Uggs.  Boots are not good for ballroom or swing dancing.  You want to be able to slide/glide on the floor\, turn easily on your toes and point your toes. \nPayment Policy: \nPayment for each series is due in full at the beginning of the first class of the month.  There will be no refunds or credits for missed classes.  We understand that sometimes illness or unexpected circumstances come up on short notice\, but in order to keep these classes affordable\, House of Dance cannot issue refunds or credits.    If you know before a series starts that you will need to miss a class\, please check with the organizer to make sure that will be okay before signing up (it depends on a variety of factors)\, and the full amount of the series will still be due at the first class. \nThese classes are not drop-in classes.  Signing up in advance is required.  If you sign up for a series\, your classmates are counting on you to be there for all the classes other than illness or other unavoidable/unforeseen circumstances\, because these classes are most enjoyable when everyone has a partner.  Additionally\, learning dance is sequential and if you are not able to attend the first class\, or will have to miss more than one class\, it can be difficult to catch up and it can hold up others in the class. \nIf you have special circumstances\, please feel free to talk to me about it!  Considering this is a 3 month class\, it is more likely there might be a conflict with a family trip or something of that nature.  If you have to miss one or two\, it might be ok\, but please check with me first if you know you will be gone for a class or two.  Bonnieadair@verizon.net or 805-504-6457 call or text. \nWe must have an even number of boys and girls.  Any girls in excess of boys\, or vice versa\, are considered to be on the waitlist.  We must have a minimum of 4 boys and 4 girls to proceed with the class. \nSign Up Here for Nightclub Two Step April & May 2024\nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Elementary PE Group
DESCRIPTION:What: Please join us in engaging our younger elementary children in teaching them how to work as a team and develop perseverance\, good sportsmanship and friendships through physical activity.  Our goal is to choose activities that will challenge the kids a bit\, but something that they can be successful at.  Structured PE activities will be 30 minutes long and not more than 45 minutes. Afterwards we will have optional free play. \nParents will take turns organizing/planning/leading the activities and do a different activity every month. If you need equipment\, reach out to the other parents or ACHEVmoms on Facebook to see if it can be obtained/borrowed for free\, or come up with another idea that doesn’t require equipment you don’t have.  We are not expecting anyone to spend $$ on equipment.  Some examples: Relay races\, duck duck goose/Simon Says/Red light-Green Light\, trash can basketball\, Capture the Flag\, Freeze Tag/Blob tag\, dodgeball\, jump rope games\, push up games\, track and field games\, etc. \nWho: ACHEV members under 10 and parents.  ACHEV members over 10 are welcome to come and help the younger kids with the activities\, sit and watch\, or go play volleyball with the ACHEV volleyball group at Pitts Ranch.  Drop off is ok for ACHEV volleyball (please see calendar for details on volleyball). \nElementary PE is not a drop off event\, and parents should be available and willing to help their children through the activities\, giving assistance and encouragement as needed.  \nElementary PE is a co-op\, but will remain open for ACHEV members to join us any time. Please consider joining us regularly and helping plan activities.   We need to have a core group of people that intend to prioritize this activity on their calendar.  The dates for the whole school year are printed below and all dates are also on the ACHEV calendar. All Fridays.  We will meet at Pitts Ranch Park with the exception of two dates that we anticipate will be at PV Fields (Camarillo).  Details will be kept up to date on the calendar.  Please email or text Bonnie Adair 805-504-6457 bonnieadair@verizon.net if you are interested in joining us.  We need to know how many children will be present in order to help with activity planning. \n\n\n\n9/29/23\n\n\n\n10/13/23\nPV Fields\n\n\n10/27/23\n\n\n\n11/10/23\n\n\n\n12/1/23\n\n\n\n12/15/23\n\n\n\n1/19/24\n\n\n\n2/2/24\n\n\n\n2/16/24\n\n\n\n3/1/24\n\n\n\n3/15/24\nPV Fields\n\n\n4/19/24\n\n\n\n5/3/2024\n\n\n\n5/24/2024\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Sock Hop Dance - Live Big Band!
DESCRIPTION:The ACHEV Sock Hop Dance is ballroom and swing dancing for 6th grade and older. It will be held at the beautiful Poinsettia Pavilion in Ventura\, which has a generous stage and dance floor\, and beautiful view from the patio area. \nParent chaperones are required for this dance. If you are unable to attend\, you may find another parent ahead of time to chaperone in your place. Thank you.  If the children under your care are outside on the patio\, make sure to supervise them out there.  Children are not allowed outside of the building without a chaperone present. \nThere are many important details so you will be prepared to have the very best time! Please read carefully\, and don’t hesitate to ask questions. The organizers are happy to answer your questions. \nNo Younger Siblings.  This event is for 6th grade and up only.  Younger siblings are not permitted at this event.  Babes in arms/nursing babies are okay. \nACHEV has guidelines for events. They are included in full on the “keep this” page of your membership agreement. Here are the points that are relevant to dances: \n\nBe punctual as a courtesy to other members and our hosts.\nParents are responsible for their children’s behavior and safety for the duration of the gathering. This responsibility may be delegated to another parent if necessary. No drop offs.\nAttire should be modest and appropriate for the occasion.\nBe respectful of both private and public property.\nPlease clean up after yourself at all events.\nThank the individuals who made the event possible.\nACHEV activities are for members only\, unless otherwise stated.\n\nThank you for bringing a finger food to share. It will help us tremendously if you bring them on a serving plate or bowl (disposable if you prefer) to make it presentable and easy for those volunteering to manage the refreshment tables. ACHEV does not have an inventory of serving plates. Thank you. \nYou may invite friends you believe would enjoy this dance. Guests must be cleared in advance with Tina Beeson: buckeyeflats@hotmail.com or 805-551-5479. Please share all the information with your guests so they are prepared. Thank you.  While we do keep a guest list and ask that you get your guests cleared in advance\, we do not have a limit on guests for dances at the Poinsettia Pavilion. \nConsider arriving a little bit before 7pm so that you have time to get through the check in line and are ready to start at 7.  We don’t want you to miss anything. =) \nCost: $15 per dancer. Parent Chaperones are free.  $30 family maximum.  Pay at the door with either cash or check payable to ACHEV. \nACHEV has a dress code for dances. This is the dress code for the Sock Hop Dance. It is enforced upon entrance. Come prepared\, and be sure to share this with your invited guests. A good rule of thumb is if you are unsure\, change into something that clearly meets dress code. Thank you for helping us uphold the dress code. \nBoys: \n\nT-shirts OK for this dance\nJeans OK for this dance\, no holes\nWear closed toe shoes.  No flip flops.  It is easier to dance in shoes that do not have rubber bottoms.\n\nGirls: \nWhile 1950’s era dresses and skirts (which were predominately below the knee) are most suitable for this event\, we have included illustrations of the minimum hemline allowed by the dress code for dances in general. Please note if dresses have sheer layers\, it is the solid fabric that must be at least to the top of the knee\, as shown below. Please note the requirement for wearing modest leggings or shorts under skirts\, since twirling and other athletic moves are involved in many swing dance steps. \n\n Skirts or dresses knee length or longer. (This means touching the top of the kneecap\, regardless of leggings.) If there is a lace overlay\, the skirt underneath (solid fabric) needs to touch the kneecap.\nSlits in skirts cannot rise above the top of the kneecap regardless of leggings underneath.  If your skirt/dress just touches the top of the knee and it has a slit in it\, it is too short.  You can stitch up a slit or use safety pins to close it up.\nLeggings or shorts are required if the skirt rises past the knees while twirling.  It’s a good idea to wear shorts or leggings under your skirts regardless of length.\nNo low-cut\, strapless\, backless\, or halter tops. Straps need to be at least one inch wide. No exposed midriffs\, cleavage or bra straps.  No peekaboo cutouts.  If your top is sheer or see through (such as lace)\, you need to wear underneath solid straps that are at least one inch wide.   If you aren’t sure\, wear a cardigan over your dress.\nGirls can wear a t-shirt under their dress or along with a skirt.\nNo pants (other than leggings under your skirt or dress).\nClosed toe shoes are recommended.  We recommend no slingback shoes.  No flip flops.  It is easier to dance in shoes that do not have rubber bottoms.   If the girls want to wear heels\, please bring a second pair of shoes that will be more comfortable in case they need/want to remove their heels.\n\nHere is the visual dress code with some photos to help show minimum hemline/skirt length:  Sock Hop Visual Dress Code\nThank you for sharing dance etiquette with your children and invited guests. \nFor Boys: \n\nAsk a variety of girls to dance.  They are waiting for you to ask.  Smile\, offer your hand\, and ask if she would like to dance.\nYou may be nervous asking a girl to dance. That is ok. She is probably nervous waiting to be asked.\nOffer her your hand or your arm and escort her onto the dance floor\nWhen the dance is over\, escort her off the floor and thank her for the dance.\nIf we announce a Sadie Hawkins dance\, and you decline an offer to dance\, you will rest for the entire song.\n\nFor Girls: \n\nIf a boy asks you to dance\, graciously accept his offer unless you need to rest or take a breather\, in which case you may say “no thank you”.  If you decline an offer to dance\, you will rest for the duration of that song.\nIf you stand with your friends in a closed circle\, it is hard and nerve-wracking for a boy to ask you to dance. Make yourself available by opening up your circle.\n\nFor Both: \n\nEvery dance has first time attendees. Make an effort to reach out to them and include them in your conversations and help them learn a few of the steps.\nNot everyone knows how to dance…that is ok. Everyone has to begin sometime.\nA Sadie Hawkins dance is when a girl can ask a boy to dance.  The boys are to do the asking unless we announce a Sadie Hawkins dance.\nChewing Gum is not permitted at the Poinsettia Pavilion\nThank the band\, or a band member\, for playing for us if you get an opportunity.\n\nVolunteers are needed to make the evening run smoothly. We need you. There are many ways to help.  Volunteer Sign Up Sheet is Here.\nThere is no sign up sheet to attend the dance\, only a sign up sheet for helpers.  We don’t have concerns about exceeding the maximum capacity for the building at this location.\n

SUMMARY:Ballroom Dance: Nightclub Two Step Lessons
DESCRIPTION:What: Private ballroom dance classes for ACHEV at House of Dance – Lesson for 45 minutes\, dance practice to music for 15 minutes.  This is an 8-class series taking place on Wednesdays April 3\, 10\, 17\, 24 and May 1\, 8\, 15\, 22.  We will start at the beginning level.  If you would like to join this class\, you need to start with us on April 3.  We will not be able to add new people once the series has begun. \nIn April & May\, we will be learning Nightclub Two Step: Nightclub Two Step was developed in the 1960s by a 15-year-old West Coast Swing dancer from Whitaker\, Illinois named Buddy Schwimmer. Buddy Schwimmer invented the dance in 1965. He developed the Nightclub Two Step while practicing with his sister as he searched for a way to popularize slow ballad music. He noticed that during their high school parties\, most of his friends stood still and shuffled in place when slow\, romantic songs played. He felt there was a need for a more interesting alternative to dancing to slow music so he created a dance called the Night Club Two Step. When Buddy opened a dance studio in Costa Mesa\, California years later in 1978\, he began teaching the Nightclub Two Step that can still be found in ballrooms and night clubs today.   \nThe Nightclub Two Step is a great alternative for dancers who want to go beyond a simple slow dance with their partner. It’s a great dance to learn how to dance to slow music. It is often used to compete as a country dance\, but it is also danced to easy listening\, smooth jazz\, and R&B music. Today\, the Nightclub Two Step can be danced as a stationary dance\, a dance that travels around the dance floor in the line of dance\, or a combination of the two.  More Fun Facts about Nightclub Two Step \nWho: ACHEV members\, grads & guests 11 and up.  ACHEV Members can invite guests: guests do not need to be ACHEV members\, but need to be homeschooled.  Please clear invited homeschooling friends through Bonnie at bonnieadair@verizon.net.   Current ACHEV members are given priority on the sign up sheet\, ACHEV grads next\, and then guests.  ACHEV members\, sign up asap because I will start adding grads and guests as I see space available\, or a need to fill spots.  We must have equal number boys and girls in order for the class to work.  We can keep a waitlist in case space opens up prior to the first class in a series.  Minimum of 4 boys and 4 girls in order to hold these classes.  Partners rotate throughout the class. \nWhere: House of Dance \, 3007 Bunsen Ave\, Ventura 93003   https://www.pmhouseofdance.com/ \nWhen: Wednesdays 4pm – 5:00 pm \nCost: $40 per student per month\, payable by 4/3 & 5/1.    Pay in advance via Venmo or Zelle (info at https://www.pmhouseofdance.com/)  Or pay with cash or check when you arrive on those dates.  If you pay via Venmo or Zelle\, please include a note “ACHEV Homeschool class” \nWhat to Bring & Wear: Bring your own water bottles.  There is no drinking fountain.  There is no special dress code\, other than ACHEV’s general dress code for all events which is\, “modest and appropriate for the occasion”.   Some girls choose to wear dresses and skirts\, but you can wear pants or shorts.  Boys can wear pants or shorts.  Be comfortable.  If you do not have felt bottomed dance shoes (felt bottomed dance shoes are ideal)\, try to choose a shoe that is not grippy and rubbery on bottom.  Leather soled dress shoes or Vans-type skateboard shoes are okay.  Absolutely NO flip flops.  No sandals\, no Uggs.  Boots are not good for ballroom or swing dancing.  You want to be able to slide/glide on the floor\, turn easily on your toes and point your toes. \nPayment Policy: \nPayment for each series is due in full at the beginning of the first class of the month.  There will be no refunds or credits for missed classes.  We understand that sometimes illness or unexpected circumstances come up on short notice\, but in order to keep these classes affordable\, House of Dance cannot issue refunds or credits.    If you know before a series starts that you will need to miss a class\, please check with the organizer to make sure that will be okay before signing up (it depends on a variety of factors)\, and the full amount of the series will still be due at the first class. \nThese classes are not drop-in classes.  Signing up in advance is required.  If you sign up for a series\, your classmates are counting on you to be there for all the classes other than illness or other unavoidable/unforeseen circumstances\, because these classes are most enjoyable when everyone has a partner.  Additionally\, learning dance is sequential and if you are not able to attend the first class\, or will have to miss more than one class\, it can be difficult to catch up and it can hold up others in the class. \nIf you have special circumstances\, please feel free to talk to me about it!  Considering this is a 3 month class\, it is more likely there might be a conflict with a family trip or something of that nature.  If you have to miss one or two\, it might be ok\, but please check with me first if you know you will be gone for a class or two.  Bonnieadair@verizon.net or 805-504-6457 call or text. \nWe must have an even number of boys and girls.  Any girls in excess of boys\, or vice versa\, are considered to be on the waitlist.  We must have a minimum of 4 boys and 4 girls to proceed with the class. \nSign Up Here for Nightclub Two Step April & May 2024\nQuestions?

Please consider joining us regularly and helping plan activities.   We need to have a core group of people that intend to prioritize this activity on their calendar.  The dates for the whole school year are printed below and all dates are also on the ACHEV calendar.

SUMMARY:Ballroom Dance: Nightclub Two Step Lessons
DESCRIPTION:What: Private ballroom dance classes for ACHEV at House of Dance – Lesson for 45 minutes\, dance practice to music for 15 minutes.  This is an 8-class series taking place on Wednesdays April 3\, 10\, 17\, 24 and May 1\, 8\, 15\, 22.  We will start at the beginning level.  If you would like to join this class\, you need to start with us on April 3.  We will not be able to add new people once the series has begun. \nIn April & May\, we will be learning Nightclub Two Step: Nightclub Two Step was developed in the 1960s by a 15-year-old West Coast Swing dancer from Whitaker\, Illinois named Buddy Schwimmer. Buddy Schwimmer invented the dance in 1965. He developed the Nightclub Two Step while practicing with his sister as he searched for a way to popularize slow ballad music. He noticed that during their high school parties\, most of his friends stood still and shuffled in place when slow\, romantic songs played. He felt there was a need for a more interesting alternative to dancing to slow music so he created a dance called the Night Club Two Step. When Buddy opened a dance studio in Costa Mesa\, California years later in 1978\, he began teaching the Nightclub Two Step that can still be found in ballrooms and night clubs today.   \nThe Nightclub Two Step is a great alternative for dancers who want to go beyond a simple slow dance with their partner. It’s a great dance to learn how to dance to slow music. It is often used to compete as a country dance\, but it is also danced to easy listening\, smooth jazz\, and R&B music. Today\, the Nightclub Two Step can be danced as a stationary dance\, a dance that travels around the dance floor in the line of dance\, or a combination of the two.  More Fun Facts about Nightclub Two Step \nWho: ACHEV members\, grads & guests 11 and up.  ACHEV Members can invite guests: guests do not need to be ACHEV members\, but need to be homeschooled.  Please clear invited homeschooling friends through Bonnie at bonnieadair@verizon.net.   Current ACHEV members are given priority on the sign up sheet\, ACHEV grads next\, and then guests.  ACHEV members\, sign up asap because I will start adding grads and guests as I see space available\, or a need to fill spots.  We must have equal number boys and girls in order for the class to work.  We can keep a waitlist in case space opens up prior to the first class in a series.  Minimum of 4 boys and 4 girls in order to hold these classes.  Partners rotate throughout the class. \nWhere: House of Dance \, 3007 Bunsen Ave\, Ventura 93003   https://www.pmhouseofdance.com/ \nWhen: Wednesdays 4pm – 5:00 pm \nCost: $40 per student per month\, payable by 4/3 & 5/1.    Pay in advance via Venmo or Zelle (info at https://www.pmhouseofdance.com/)  Or pay with cash or check when you arrive on those dates.  If you pay via Venmo or Zelle\, please include a note “ACHEV Homeschool class” \nWhat to Bring & Wear: Bring your own water bottles.  There is no drinking fountain.  There is no special dress code\, other than ACHEV’s general dress code for all events which is\, “modest and appropriate for the occasion”.   Some girls choose to wear dresses and skirts\, but you can wear pants or shorts.  Boys can wear pants or shorts.  Be comfortable.  If you do not have felt bottomed dance shoes (felt bottomed dance shoes are ideal)\, try to choose a shoe that is not grippy and rubbery on bottom.  Leather soled dress shoes or Vans-type skateboard shoes are okay.  Absolutely NO flip flops.  No sandals\, no Uggs.  Boots are not good for ballroom or swing dancing.  You want to be able to slide/glide on the floor\, turn easily on your toes and point your toes. \nPayment Policy: \nPayment for each series is due in full at the beginning of the first class of the month.  There will be no refunds or credits for missed classes.  We understand that sometimes illness or unexpected circumstances come up on short notice\, but in order to keep these classes affordable\, House of Dance cannot issue refunds or credits.    If you know before a series starts that you will need to miss a class\, please check with the organizer to make sure that will be okay before signing up (it depends on a variety of factors)\, and the full amount of the series will still be due at the first class. \nThese classes are not drop-in classes.  Signing up in advance is required.  If you sign up for a series\, your classmates are counting on you to be there for all the classes other than illness or other unavoidable/unforeseen circumstances\, because these classes are most enjoyable when everyone has a partner.  Additionally\, learning dance is sequential and if you are not able to attend the first class\, or will have to miss more than one class\, it can be difficult to catch up and it can hold up others in the class. \nIf you have special circumstances\, please feel free to talk to me about it!  Considering this is a 3 month class\, it is more likely there might be a conflict with a family trip or something of that nature.  If you have to miss one or two\, it might be ok\, but please check with me first if you know you will be gone for a class or two.  Bonnieadair@verizon.net or 805-504-6457 call or text. \nWe must have an even number of boys and girls.  Any girls in excess of boys\, or vice versa\, are considered to be on the waitlist.  We must have a minimum of 4 boys and 4 girls to proceed with the class. \nSign Up Here for Nightclub Two Step April & May 2024\nQuestions?
