ZUMBA Session 2
with Robin Lovell, Wells-Ogunquit Adult Community Education
Robin's Zumba® classes have been running strong for over 16 years through the Wells Ogunquit Adult Ed. Zumba® is dance exercise for people who don't consider themselves dancers but love to dance. The hour flies by and you will get a great workout. Robin uses fun, high energy music and the moves are basic and repeated enough times so that you really know them. Plus one of the best things about Zumba® is the emphasis on modifying the moves to make them your own. Questions about the class? Contact Robin via her Zumba website (Robin Lovell - Instructor Page (zumba.com), or Wells-Ogunquit Adult Ed.

Cold Reading and Scene Study Workshop
with Gregory Athans, Noble Adult & Community Education
Together we will embrace and cultivate the creative exploration of theatre where everyone can refine their talent and learn skills and techniques to reach their individual potential. Using the words of the playwright; along with instinct, motivation, emotion and other performance skills, participants will, through their own authenticity, develop a character and gain the confidence to be a great performer.
Each week, you’ll be paired with a partner and assigned a scene from a script. Beginning with cold readings and analysis, the scenes will be rehearsed and workshopped, culminating in a casual performance for your classmates at the following week’s class where the process will then begin again with a new partner and scene.
No prior experience is necessary-just a willingness to explore, take risks, and most importantly have FUN.
NACE is offering a special discount for high school students ages 15 - 17 who are interested in taking the class. Class cost for students ages 15 - 17 is $39. Contact us today to register.
