class | ZoomDance Winter Session (1/12 – 3/1)

ZoomDance Winter Session
Thursdays, January 12 – March 1

ZoomDance classes at Studio34 are offered at a sliding scale of $90-$110 for the whole 8 weeks, which also gives you unlimited access to all the ZoomDance classes around the city. Or buy a 5-class card for $70, no expiration. For more information, please visit the ZoomDance website at http://www.zoomdance.com/.

10:30am – 11:15am Thursdays, 1.5-3 years
ZoomDance: This is a high energy class of dance, music, story-telling, imagination and fun! Over the course of the session, children will develop agility, coordination, rhythm, and balance through a dynamic range of actions. There is an emphasis on creativity and building confidence through songs, stories, and performance. Each week we’ll read a new story and then explore the movement and adventures of the characters. Kids have the opportunity to show off their favorite moves, invent characters, and try lots of new movement ideas. Grown-ups are encouraged to participate in this class with their small dancers.

4pm – 4:50pm Thursdays, 3-5 years
Intermediate ZoomDance: This class has the same essence as the younger ZoomDance class, with lots of energy and focus on exploring new ideas. We will start to push the edges of dancing the spectrum from wild abandon to careful details. In addition to learning trickier “moves”, we will start thinking of phrases and dances instead of only individual moves, and students will perform for each other in class. When acting out the story, our teachers will encourage students to offer their own ideas too. Grown-ups drop off their dancers for this one, and are invited in on the last day to see what we’ve been working on.


7/6: Phillyist Framed wrapup

Whoo hoo! The Phillyist Framed 2008 photo show opening on July 27 was a big hit, thanks to several hundred of you: participants, organizers, and friends. Note: the photos are on display here through the end of July. Come see ‘em! Phillyist, who organized the show, did a fine job enumerating the folks to be thanked (and also posted more pix of the opening event), so let us just crib outrageously and echo their thanks to:

  • Our winning photographers who gave their time, and framing money, to be the heart of our show.
  • Our judges, local photogs Brad Maule, JJ Tiziou.
  • Phillyist staffers Jen, Ross, Pencopal, and Andrew, as well as Phillyist fan and non-staffer Meghan, for being great extra hands and company on the opening night, and especially editor Jill and photo-&-architecture writer/show organizer Matthew Johnson for tons of work putting everything together.
  • Sommer and Heather at DCist for helping form the show’s concept, which was modeled off of their similar show DCist Exposed.
  • Frankie Bones from Center Stage Entertainment and our awesome DJ, Jared.
  • Kylie and the others at the Framer’s Workroom (2103 Walnut).
  • Pete at the Photo Lounge (1909 Chestnut) for our printing needs.
