Dear Parents,
My name is Lorenzo Dawson.  I am teaching a new class just added to the Heart Encounters Summer offerings.
It is called Ballroom Café.
Ballroom Café is designed to build social awareness, confidence and self-esteem in children and teens through the practice of social dance.  Having been trained by American Ballroom Theater / Dancing Classrooms of New York City, I use a syllabus that teaches 5 ballroom dances that nurture mastery of an art form in a fun, learning environment, while fostering respect, teamwork, confidence, politeness, and a sense of joy and accomplishment.  Essentially, I teach life skills wrapped up in ballroom dance!
I inspire students who are typically reserved, to step out and shine.  For all students, engaging in social dance focuses physical energies and increases physical and mental health through the joy of movement.  I address fundamental issues of mutual respect and self-esteem - issues that social dance so easily puts into practice.
Ballroom Café will be available June 16 - August 1, provided there are enough students signed up.  Each class will last two weeks, Monday through Friday, a total of 10 sessions each:
June 16 - 27        (10 dance sessions)
July 7 - 18           (10 dance sessions)
July 21 - Aug 1   (10 dance sessions)  
For Ages 9 - 13, classes will be at 1:00pm - 2:00pm
For Ages 13 - 17, classes will be at 2:15pm - 3:15pm
Because we need both male and female students for these classes, we suggest you contact friends to encourage their children to participate and help make this class a great way to teach life skills through a memorable and fun experience.

THANK YOU!
