Swing Dance Workshop: Advanced
2017-09-09 17:15 - 18:30, 2017-09-02 17:15 - 18:30 UTC
Hello Swing Dancers of ACHEV!
I’m Eliya Frantz. Joe Hidley and I, a fellow swing dancer, have been coming to these dances for many years and have been to many many swing dance workshops in the past. We’ve noticed that the older homeschoolers who would teach dance to the younger generation, have all grown up and mostly moved on from our community, which leaves the question: Who will continue to teach Swing and Lindy-Hop to the new generation?

Joe and I will be teaching Swing dance workshops on September 2nd and 9th for anyone who has the desire to gain more skill and confidence in their dancing. This is open to all levels. We’re working on making this as effective as possible in improving the quality and confidence of all dancers who love to swing. Here are the details:
What:An opportunity to learn and practice on how to be more smooth and confident in the style of Swing dance, and Lindy-Hop if time allows.
Where: 178 Furman Avenue, Ventura 93003 (Susan Pineda’s house)
When:Saturday September 2nd and 9th: Beginners 2:30-5:00. Intermediate/Advanced 5:15-6:30 (previous dance experience required – must already be sure of swing and/or Lindy basics)
Cost:Beginners Workshop: $15 per person, $10 for siblings. Intermediate/Advanced Workshop: $10 per person.
WE ARE SO EXCITED! We would love to get to the place of everyone showing up at the dances with their own unique styles, and strong confidence. If you have any questions, or you are ready to RSVP, then please email me at eliyafrantz@gmail.com. We will see you guys there!

Beach Day
2017-09-08 12:00 - 15:00 UTC | Carpinteria State Beach, 198 Linden Ave, Carpinteria, CA, 93013
Take advantage of our beautiful Southern California weather and our freedom from the public school schedule by hanging out with us at the beach this month!
Location: Carpinteria Beach at the end of Linden Ave. It’s best to look for free street parking past “The Spot” burger stand. We will be meeting near the volleyball courts. I will be setting up my blue beach tent. There are showers and restrooms at this beach. The surf is amazing for just about anything and very clean and safe for all ages of children. Bring your beach goodies, a volleyball for the sand court and your boogie boards. Make sure the kids have shoes/water shoes (not flip flops) if they want to play volleyball – the sand gets really hot!

Living Well in the Land of Homeschooling:

You can expect an evening of prayer, laughter, and learning. Subjects to be discussed are: A mom’s health and that of her family. Ways to get and stay healthy on a shoestring budget. And what does healthy mean anyways? Non-GMO, Conventional, Natural, Organic? Grass Fed, Free-Range, Cage Free, Organic, Vegetarian, Pasteurized? Natural home remedies like onions and honey. Say what?? …and how much did you say that costs??? Michele Stow and April Osborne will share their tips, tricks, and prayers that keep their households tied firmly in God’s grace and truth.
