SUMMARY:West Coast Swing Lessons 12 week series
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 a 12-class series taking place on Wednesdays Jan: 10\, 17\, 24\, 31 Feb: 7\, 14\, 21\, 28 Mar: 6\, 13\, 20\, 27.  We will start at the beginning level.  If you would like to join this class\, you need to start with us on January 10th.  We will not be able to add new people once the series has begun. \n \nWest Coast Swing is a really fun dance where you can learn to add your own personality and flair to it.  It is quite different from the other dances we have learned and it will take a little more time to master it.  Please consider joining us\, because it will be well worth the effort.   \nModern West Coast Swing is not dependent on the music genre and can be danced to any music in 4/4 tempo. The basic music for West Coast Swing is generally the Blues\, which offers a rhythm with swung eighth notes. Dancers today often enjoy swing dancing to the slower rhythms of Funk\, Disco\, Jazz\, Motown\, Techno\, Soul\, and Pop\, in addition to getting down to the upbeat rhythms of Country\, Big Band Swing\, Oldies\, Rock ‘n Roll\, Retro and sometimes Latin music. Read More \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 beginning 12/6 .  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 1/10\, 2/7 & 3/6.    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\, try to choose a shoe that is not grippy and rubbery on bottom like a basketball shoe.  Leather soled dress shoes or Vans-type skateboard shoes are okay.  Absolutely NO flip flops.  No sandals\, no Uggs. \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 West Coast Swing Jan-March\nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Joni & Friends Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:What: Please join us for a tour of the amazing non-profit Christian organization\, Joni and Friends.    Learn about the history of Joni and Friends\, our current work around the world\, and meet our staff! \n    Since 1979 Joni and Friends has committed to reaching and serving people with disabilities with practical help and the saving love of Jesus. \n    The Joni and Friends International Disability Center in Agoura Hills\, California serves as the administrative hub for ministry programs around the world. With every wheelchair and Bible delivered\, every retreat and respite event held\, and every church mobilized to integrate and honor people with disabilities\, Joni and Friends follows the call of Jesus found in Luke 14:“Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in the poor\, the crippled\, the blind\, and the lame.… Go out to the roads and country lanes and compel them to come in\, so that my house will be full” (Luke 14:21\, 23\, NIV). \nIf you aren’t familiar with this wonderful ministry\, check out their website: https://joniandfriends.org/about/ \nOptional lunch/park play date at local Reyes Adobe Park after the tour.  31400 Rainbow Crest Dr\, Agoura Hills\, CA 91301.  Let me know if you plan to join us for that. \nCost: Free.  No suggested donation\, but as a non-profit organization\, they do value donations. \nService Opportunity: You can make gospel bracelets before the field trip and bring them with you to donate to their ministry.  Here are instructions! \nGospel_Bracelet_Instructions_2022 \nWho: ACHEV members.  All ages and parents are welcome\, but be aware that tour is geared to ages 7 and up.  Younger children may become bored and will need to be closely supervised by parents and taken aside if they become a distraction.   Joni & Friends prefers that younger children are left at home if possible\, but they do not expect that parents will be able to hire babysitters and do not want to hinder families from attending due to childcare issues.  Babes in arms are welcome\, and the facility is stroller & wheelchair friendly. \nSign Up: We can have a maximum of 40 kids and parents attending. They need a head count ASAP.  I gave them an estimated number of 20-30.  Our final roster is due two weeks in advance\, but if we expect fewer than 20 or more than 30\, they would really like to have more than two weeks notice.  The deadline is January 3rd\, but signing up much earlier is very helpful.   \nSign up on the sign up sheet HERE  Please make sure to list all attendees on the sign up sheet including all parents and babies. \nWhere to Meet/Directions: Exit 101 fwy at Reyes adobe.  There are 2 buildings.  Come up driveway and continue past the first building keep turning left (3 left turns to get up the driveway).  There is signage that should help us find the correct location. Park in the parking lot or along the side of the building.  We will meet inside the building.  You can go in the front door and see the receptionist.  I’ll try to be the first one there. \n  \n
