Adult Activities Belly Dance Class

Dog Obedience Training Classes

Lakes Area Recreation Auxiliary Room Instructor: Jeana Rolseth

Sponsored by Lakes Area Recreation Lakes Area Recreation Gym

Raqs Sharqi, also known as belly dance, is an age old dance with a history as rich as it is diverse and widely misunderstood. Using natural movements, belly dance is an excellent low impact work-out. Jeana has been studying this dance form for many years, and is a solo dancer, a member of Alexandria‟s Ziva Gypsies, and St. Cloud‟s Noctua Belly Dancers. Classes are for ladies ages 16 and up. Beginner Basics & Beyond: Monday evenings are structured towards ladies curious about the dance, as well as ladies wanting to brush up on basic moves. Each night will provide something new including the following: Dance 101 for belly dance, Beginner Basics & Beyond, Shimmies & Undulations Level 1, and Traveling & Veil dancing. Isolations & Combinations: Step it up with belly dance isolation drills, combinations, and layering. These classes will lead you into the intricate beauty of belly dance with easy to understand instruction for some of the most popular intermediate to advance dance moves. (Upper & Lower Isolations, Shimmies & Undulations Level 2, and Layers & Progressions) Class #

Lifetime learning experiences are as important for the canine family members as for the human members. Three experienced volunteers provide some of this continuing education for the canine family members (and their owner/trainers) by conducting a series of dog obedience training classes. Each series of classes runs for six consecutive weeks, and each weekly session has a separate kindergarten class for puppies and another class for adult dogs. Only “gentle and reward” training methods are used. The curriculum will include socialization, basic obedience, and when appropriate, behavior problems will be addressed. The final fifteen minutes of the hourlong classes include a “recess” period, during which the dogs and the trainers will develop confidence by having fun on the agility course, consisting of hurdles, ramps, tunnels, and a teeter-totter.

Rally Dog Obedience LAR Auxiliary Gym

Preparing to Volunteer With Dogs LAR Auxiliary Gym

Instructor: Holly Bushard

Instructor: Holly Bushard

If you love training your dog and have already accomplished basic pet manners, Rally Obedience is the class for you! Rally obedience picks up where basic obedience leaves off. Rally obedience takes teams through a constructed course of obedience moves such as sitting, laying down, turning, and halting. No experience is necessary! This class will be informal and fun and is intended for people who have never tried anything like this before. All that is required is a sense of humor and a love of dogs. By the end of the class, dogs will be more focused on their handlers, better on a leash, and able to perform a wide series of commands. Training for rally obedience requires very little space, making it an ideal hobby for keeping you and your dog challenged and engaged through the upcoming winter months. If you have any questions, please call Holly at 320-491-3671. Equipment required: A dog, a collar, and a leash!

If you love people and have a friendly and confident dog, therapy dog work might be right for you! Therapy dogs visit people in a variety of settings such as nursing homes, schools, and hospitals. The goal of the team is to bring comfort and joy to animal lovers who are separated from their pets. This class is designed to help owners decide if their dogs are appropriate for volunteering and to give them the skills needed to make sure that their visits are safe and rewarding. Basic obedience skills and a gentle dog are all that you need to get started. We will practice the obedience skills that are needed to volunteer and talk about the various therapy dog organizations that participants can test with and join. Volunteering with your dog can be one of the most rewarding things you can do together.

Aquatics 2012 Swim Lesson Information - Dates and Times on Page 11 - Page 15! The swim lessons offered through Lakes Area Recreation are designed to teach participants lifelong swimming skills and provide training in basic water safety and how to help a swimmer in distress. In addition to the skills outlined under each level, swim lesson courses are intended to provide a positive learning experience so participants can feel comfortable and enjoy the water safely. Because our courses are progressive, with each level building on the skills previously learned, the prerequisite for each level is the successful demonstration of the skills from the preceding level, with the exception of Beginner 1. To ensure participants are placed in the appropriate swim level, the first day of lessons is for skill level assessment. Participants will be expected to successfully demonstrate all of the completion requirements for the previous level before being able to continue on in the level they are enrolled in. Participants will be transferred up or down a level that is more appropriate and better suited to meet their skill level and needs if the prerequisite skills are not met the first day of class. Please try to place your child in the appropriate level! Lakes Area Recreation does keep track year to year - if you are unsure of your child‟s placement, please call the LAR office and speak with the Aquatics Director.

Swim Lesson Policies: There are no make up lessons. Minimum enrollment for each class is four students. Classes may be cancelled or combined due to low enrollment. Lakes Area Recreation reserves the right to make program and schedule changes, or to cancel a class with an insufficient amount of participants registered. All fees are nonrefundable except in the case of illness documented by a physician or cancellation by Lakes Area Recreation. A transaction fee of $2 will be assessed for transfers to other sessions or class times that are not the result of a decision made by Lakes Area Recreation staff. Parents are not allowed on the pool deck at any time during the course of lessons – the Aquatic Manager and instructors are available before and after classes for questions and comments.

A note about your child‟s class placement: Please understand that all children acquire skills at different rates. Age is often a convenient marker used to understand and measure motor skill development, however an increase in age does not automatically result in improvement or acquisition of a skill. Differences in body size, knowledge, skills, learning styles, personalities, and experiences all affect individual skill development. It should be expected a child will repeat any given level several times before fully mastering all skills required at that level.
