The subjects are very basic, and each class is designed based on the participants’ abilities upon entering the class and how quickly they learn and develop as educated dancers. Participants will leave every class with a sense of achievement having learned proper Tap terminology and technique. As they get more advanced in their technique, they will eventually learn to choreograph their own Tap routine.

Players should visit the parking office located on the first floor in order to obtain a key card that allows access to the tennis courts. You will be required to provide a government issued picture ID card and leave it in City custody in exchange for a tennis court key card. Your ID will be returned when the card access key is returned to the parking office. There is a $10 fee assessed for all lost or stolen key cards.

For YOUR security, please be advised that anyone providing access to the tennis courts by un-carded persons will lose their tennis court privileges!

EVERYONE on the court must check-in with the Parking Office on the first floor to receive an access card.

Featuring:

announce its first ever WeHo Reads! Embracing a community-wide celebration of reading and

tennis - page 18

Aquatics - pages 16-17

adult - pages 14-15

expanding literacy through the arts, everyone is invited to participate in a series of special events, panels, and book discussions revolving around this year’s featured book, Nina Revoyr’s

The Age of Dreaming. The book explores the history of Los Angeles, the heady beginnings of the movie industry, and the interplay of race and celebrity. It is part historical novel, part mystery, and part story of unfulfilled love, told through the voice of a forgotten star who must gradually come to terms with his past.

WeHo Reads kicks off at the West Hollywood Book Fair (westhollywoodbookfair.org) on Sunday, September 29, 2013, featuring author Nina Revoyr! A limited number of free books will be made available.

Other WeHo Reads events planned include:  A film screening featuring a silent film starring Sessue Hayakawa, the real-life inspiration for the main character of the book.  Panel discussion entitled: “Secrets, Scandals, Sordid Stories and the Silver Screen”  An “in-conversation” event with author Nina Revoyr Please visit www.weho.org/arts for the schedule, or follow us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/artbeatwesthollywood.
