recreation dept. dance class schedule announced

The Garden City Recreation Department Dance Company was proud to present another fabulous showcase under the direction of Felicia Lovaglio on June 13th at the Herrick's Community Center Theatre. The evening was a memorable experience for all girls involved.

The performance consisted of choreographed works by Felicia and her teachers: Mary Searson, Amanda Fiorentine, Gina Nicole Caputo and Christie Halloran. The company members, who range in age from eight to adult, showed off their talents in various dance forms including tap, hip hop, ballet, jazz, and modern. The hard work all our dancers put into their rehearsals showed that night as well as the spirit and fun they put into every dance routine.

Special thanks to Kevin Ocker and the Garden City Recreation Department for giving all children the opportunity to dance.

adult pastel class now forming for the fall

The Garden City Recreation Department is offering an adult art class. This ten week program will teach the beginner as well as the advanced student the art of painting portraits and landscapes/still-life in pastel from photographs.

The first lesson will include a portrait and landscape demonstration. At this time, a supply list will be provided. Students will be given the option of dividing each three hour session between portrait or landscape/still-life, or they may choose to concentrate soley on the subject of their choice.

Demonstrations will be available as needed throughout the program. Each student will receive the individual attention required at their own pace and level of expertise.

Arleen Rueth Urban, the instructor for this program, is a signature member of the Pastel Society of America. A winner of numerous awards, her portraits hand in many Garden City homes, as well as throughout the United States. A portrait of Elvis Presley permanently hands in Graceland, and Barbara Walters is among her celebrity commissioned subjects.

This class is open to adult residents who reside in the Inc. Village of Garden City. The class will run from 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. each Friday beginning September 5th in Cluette Hall at St. Paul's. The cost of this ten week program will be $105.
