Big Apple Routine with Anna and Kevin
Submitted by gailvincent on Sat, 07/24/2010 - 10:37BIG APPLE ROUTINE on Tuesday, July 27, Yukio Okutsu Veteran's Home, 6:00-7:30 p.m., $15 per person. No partner necessary; this is a vintage routine first choreographed by Frankie Manning back in the day and incorporates a number of vigorous jazz movements. We'll learn as much as we can in the time available. Please be prompt so we can start right at 6! The Veterans' Home is on Waianuenue Avenue, just below the Hilo Hospital and just above the intersection with the upper Rainbow Drive (marked by the dialysis sign.) Use the "lower entrance" since the main upper entrance will be closed. The lower entrance is where the 2 wings of the building come together; there are 2 glass doors. Be sure to turn the latch to get in. Go past the reception desk, down the hall parallel to Waianuenue to the elevators; come to the 2nd floor and turn right into the Activity Room. The veterans will be delighted to see you...and so will we!
Aerials Classes with Kevin and Anna
Submitted by gailvincent on Fri, 07/23/2010 - 09:11AERIALS CLASSES WITH KEVIN AND ANNA, MONDAY JULY 26 and (tentatively) WEDNESDAY, JULY 28
Like to fly? Anna and Kevin will teach basic aerials and show you how they can be done safely. Monday's 2-hour class will run from 5:00 to 7:00 outdoors at Kalakaua Park, downtown Hilo. If demand warrants (or if the weather is uncooperative), we'll have a second session Wednesday, same time, same place.
The cost per person is $20 per class, and please bring a partner. If you do not have a partner, let us know and we'll do our best to put you in touch with others who need partners. You can also just show up and watch for no charge...and if we can pair you up at that point, we will. (If you're a partnerless lead, it's pretty much guaranteed that we'll have a follow for you--please come!) We'll do the lifts and aerials on the grass for safety.
These moves are physically challenging and require strength and physical control from both the lead and the follow. If you have
questions or concerns, please contact Andie, hilohepcats@gmail.com or 959-8216.
