Salsa Dance Classes with Hallie
Welcome to Salsa in the Eastern Sierra! We will be offering Salsa classes that are open to all skill levels- beginners embraced, drop-ins are welcome. Bring a partner or come solo and we’ll partner-up! We will start with very basic movements which will be refined and polished with styling cues as we advance. Each class will have a review of prior skills and a portion of the class will be dedicated to progression and combinations as folks become more comfortable with the movement.
Salsa dancing is FUN, anyone can do it with the right tricks and tools. Your teacher is there to guide you into a hip-swiveling, smile-bringing… expression of mind, body and soul.
About your instructor:
Hallie Vickers moved to Bishop 25 years ago with a love for rock climbing and the mountains. Several years later she moved to Santa Barbara to pursue a nursing degree… it was in Santa Barbara that she immersed herself in Salsa dancing, ultimately dancing and performing with a local Latin dance company, Salsa Barbara. Upon returning to Bishop to settle down, she brought that love of Salsa home with her, teaching Salsa classes and fusion dance classes for many years prior to diving into family life and embracing a career as a RN Care Coordinator. She shares her journey with her handsome hubby, Simon and two fabulous boys, Shiloh and Lee. She’d love to hear from you if you have any questions 760-920-2063.

This will challenge you to think of your design with inverted colors and you will learn how to use hand tools to carve the design yourself, line by line. Once complete, everyone will get the opportunity to print their designs with a variety of methods.

Basic Color Theory through Watercolors with Marijke
Come in and brush up on your knowledge of basic color theory while we also dive into some deeper color theory topics with watercolors!
In this class, we will break out the primary colors to learn how to best mix them to create our very own watercolor piece. Each participant will have the option to experiment with either the traditional painters color wheel or the pigment wheel.
I challenge all of those who attend to lose the black in your color mixing and keep the saturation at its most vibrant!
This class will start by reviewing the primary and secondary colors and then we will dive into the tertiary, analogous, and complementary colors. Once we review the basic color theory topics, we will then apply our new found knowledge to practice shading and create our own artworks!
By the end of this class, you will be able to ditch the unwanted brown mixture and only create it when you choose!

Making Reusable Bags from Old T-Shirts with Marijke
Gather your old t-shirts that are taking up too much space in your drawers! Whether they have a hole, a stain, or you just don’t wear them anymore, learn to upcycle your t-shirts into a reusable bag!
With just a pair of scissors and a shirt, you can create a bag to use again and again. In this class, everyone will start by making their bag base, which involves no sewing. Then, everyone will have time to personalize their bags further if they would like. There will be felt, sewing needles, and thread of many colors available. Basic sewing will be used to add the felt details.
Everyone is encouraged to bring an old t-shirt to use, but there will be some available to pick from.
Come to this class and learn a skill that keeps a shirt from the landfill, helps to limit the use of plastic bags, and becomes personalized, wearable art!

Hand-Building Ceramics with Bart Godett - Sorry this class is Sold Out
In this workshop we will use basic hand-building ceramics techniques to build confidence in exploring clay and its properties. Participants will have the opportunity to make one or two (depending on complexity) fairly small pots, for example a mug or a bean pot or both. You will hand-build your creation and it will be glazed for you, creating a finished ceramic piece of your own design.
All materials and equipment needed will be provided, however if you have your own clay tools you are more than welcome to bring them. This class will focus on learning about clay properties, texture, and pot creation. Finished glazed pots will be available to collect from C5 Studios 2 weeks after the class, allowing time for the work to be fired and glazed.
The cost of this workshop is inclusive of a materials fee of $10 per participant to cover the cost of the specialist materials required.
This workshop is for ages 12+.
