[Perform-Talk] Fwd: Dark Room Ballet Introductory Classes for Blind and Visually Impaired Students — Cycle 3 begins on Saturday, July 10!

[Lynn Zelvin]

I know this is kind of last minute, I kept screwing up in forwarding it, hope it works, but these classes are wonderful and this is the last cycle for the year. I know some in this group have ballet experience, and might want to skip and intro class, but I wasn't a sheer beginner and still learned from the class, because learning from a blind teacher who is both skilled as a teacher and a dancer and has worked on both how to learn and teach as a blind person, I learned something different. And for those with no background in ballet or other dance, it's really for absolute sheer beginners.
