Designed for people who speak little or no English. This is a fun and engaging way for students to learn English vocabulary and grammar in context while gaining skills and strategies in reading, writing, listening and speaking. Students are tested to see what level they are currently which will help in placement. All tests are to measure your current level and are NOT pass or fail tests.

If you are interested in gaining valuable skills for both on and off stage, clear your Tuesday night calendar and join us. You’ll be glad you did!

Did you know that nearly 1 in 3 women have been subjected to some sort of physical violence in their lifetime? Women are often looked at as “easy targets” for predators to prey on and after this training, that will no longer be the case for you. There is nothing more powerful than women who know how to not only protect themselves and their families, but are educated on how to handle potential threats and can look after each other. This training combines Autumn’s law enforcement background, along with years of teaching self-defense, to educate and prepare women to develop a plan on how to avoid violence and protect themselves when out in public as well as in their own home.
