GYMNASTICS

BEGINNING GYMNASTICS

Registering your child for the appropriate class is the first step to ensuring success and fun with gymnastics. Certain skills are necessary before taking the Advanced Beginning, Intermediate and Pre-Team classes. If your child has not mastered these skills, he or she will not be able to learn more advanced skills. Your child would then have to switch to a lower level class. Therefore, if your child has taken one year or more of gymnastics lessons and you are unsure if he or she should be in the Advanced Beginning or Intermediate class, please call Michelle at 847-448-8681 to discuss placement and which class would be best for your child. Private and group gymnastic lessons are also available for those interested in individualized attention or for those who are aged-out of certain levels. For more information call ChandlerNewberger at 847-448-8252.

Our beginning classes are for children who have never taken a gymnastic class or who have taken a class for less than one year. Beginning gymnasts will work on basic techniques while improving their coordination, balance and flexibility. Skills will be taught on the vault, bars, beam and floor.

SEPTEMBER 4 LEVY LECTURE SERIES Pamela Bannos, professor of photography in Northwestern University’s Department of Art Theory and Practice, will discuss her critically acclaimed book, Vivian Maier: A Photographer’s Life and Afterlife. Bannos’ richly detailed and meticulously researched study contrasts Maier’s life with the mythology that strangers—mostly the men who have profited from her work—have created around her absence. The much-promulgated myth of Maier as a “nanny savant” has eclipsed her true achievements, skills, and intentions. Bannos, an artist and researcher who utilizes methods that highlight the forgotten and overlooked, explores the links between visual representation, urban space, history, and collective memory. She has exhibited her work nationally and internationally, including in solo exhibitions in London, England, and New York.

From barking too much to stealing your favorite pair of socks, animals can be confused about what we expect from them. Carolee Biddle is a professional animal communicator who has talked with many animals to learn what we humans can do to modify an animal’s behavior and create more harmony in the home.

You will learn about Carolee’s past successes and what led her to this fulfilling career. Based on what animals have shared, you will learn ways to tell the animal that you want a behavior to stop. And just as important, you will learn how to show the animal what behavior you expect from them instead!
