Fitness and Conditioning Classes now being offered at Waldorf’s Ballet Arts Academy
Adults and teenagers can improve their flexibility and core strength through fitness and conditioning classes for dancers and non-dancers at the Ballet Arts Academy at the Old Waldorf School.
Two adult/teen-focused classes at the BAA include “Ballroom Dance” and Fitness Classes.
The ballroom dance teachers, Tracy R. Kirkham and Paula A. Kirkham, began their ballroom dance education in 1986 at Brigham Young University, a school recognized nationally and internationally for American Social and International Style Ballroom curriculum as well as their award winning formation ballroom dance teams.
While performing as members of the BYU Ballroom Dance Company from 1987-1990, the Kirkhams trained in Bronze, Silver and Gold levels of American and International styles. They received high honors on all adjudicated medal exams associated with these courses. While touring with the BYU Ballroom Company, they performed in the U.S., Tahiti, New Zealand and Australia. They also competed separately and together in amateur Dancesport events in Utah, California and Idaho.
After an absence from the dance studio (as the parents of seven children), they have begun teaching again and their sessions offer a beginning level experience in Foxtrot, Cha Cha, Waltz and Swing.
New to the BAA's curriculum this fall (2010) is a fitness class for adults and teens. This class which meets on Saturday mornings promotes health and body awareness. A combination of stretch, medium impact aerobics and toning. This is a class that truly gets the heart rate going as well as stimulate the spirit and the mind. It is about reaching your personal goals and than reaching beyond what you thought were your limits.
Interested students may register for classes by downloading a registration form from the BAA website, or by calling 240-377-6390, or e-mailing.

Riverside WineFest at Sotterley 2010!
October 2 & 3 ~ Noon until 6pm both days
Hollywood, MD - Come to the place where wine flows freely, music is jamming, kids are playing, artists are selling, food is scrumptious, and everyone is having a blast! Sotterley Plantation will “Celebrate the Best of Maryland in a Breathtaking Setting” at the Riverside WineFest at Sotterley 2010. For two days, guests will have the chance to taste the offerings of 21 highly acclaimed Maryland wineries (with no tasting tickets). For those who have always wanted to learn about wine making and wine testing, you will enjoy the informative demonstrations and exhibits. Hungry? Dash over to the food vendors for delectable Maryland favorites. There is no such thing as a bored child here at Sotterley, as we offer free face painting, crafts, and colonial games. Ready to dance? Go for it! Move and groove to a spectrum of music – from Jazz to Rock & Roll. Let’s talk Art – not crafts, but ART. Artists from The Color & Light Society will be painting, displaying, and selling their treasures in the historic Barn, as well as raffling off a fabulous painting by the entire group. Down on the field, make a point of supporting other Maryland Artists, many of whom sell their creations nationally and internationally. As an added bonus, 98.3 Star FM celebs T-bone & Heather will be here with t-shirts and prizes for the crowd on Saturday. Since we aim to please, diehard football fans will be able to watch the Washington Redskins play (and beat) the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday down on the field on a big screen television.

2nd Annual Regional Piano Competition for High School Students

2nd Annual Regional Piano Competition Provides Unique Opportunity on Boesendorfer, Awards

High school pianists have until January 15 to apply to compete in the College of Southern Maryland and ArtLinks second annual Southern
Maryland Regional Piano Competition, to be held April 24 and 25 at the college’s Prince Frederick Campus.
The high-level juried competition is open to any high school student within the region as an opportunity to promote piano performance and
reward and encourage young pianists within Southern Maryland.
“This competition has a very special meaning for me,” said Donna Wayson, chair of the piano competition committee. “Several years ago I
was part of the Ward Virts Piano Project. Ward Virts was a talented concert trained pianist who grew up here in Southern Maryland. For me,
Ward was an example of dedication, excellence and grace. In his life and his music he was an inspiration to those who knew him, and now
through the Southern Maryland Regional Piano Competition that legacy continues.”
Committee member and CSM Professor Stephen Johnson said the competition is an opportunity for talented, young artists within Southern Maryland to showcase their level of musical expression and technical excellence as they perform on the college’s “magnificent and absolutely
superior, handcrafted Boesendorfer.”
All pianists will audition on Saturday, April 24 on the piano, which is the centerpiece of the college’s Ward Virts Concert Series and located
at the Prince Frederick Campus. The piano was gifted to the community by the Ward Virts Piano Project Group as a tribute to the late Ward Virts,
a talented concert trained pianist from the region and who died in 1993.
Sunday’s performance on April 25 will feature the competition winners and a guest artist performing on the Boesendorfer. The finalists will
also be presented with certificates and cash awards.
Deadline to apply for the competition is January 15, 2010.

CALL TO ARTISTS:
Gallery Exhibition - The Living Gallery: Where Process IS the Product
Name: Annmarie Garden Sculpture Park
Email: exhibits@chesapeake.net
410.326.4640
PROPOSAL DEADLINE: December 26, 2009
From January 9-February 14, 2010, Annmarie Garden’s spectacular Main Gallery will be transformed into artist studios and sales space, allowing visitors the opportunity to appreciate the artistic process as well as the product. Annmarie Garden seeks artists working in any media to submit proposals to set up a working studio space in the Main Gallery for 1-2 week periods. These studios will be set up much like a “booth,” utilizing the artist’s own supplies and equipment. Artists are required to work in their studios for a total of 35 hrs/week, demonstrating their processes and techniques to curious visitors. Artists will also be given space to hang artwork for sale within the gallery for the duration of their studio time. This call is open to all media.
It is our goal to expose visitors to the working process of artists—from concept to finished product. As such, this show is ideal for artists working on a large project or series. Artists must be willing to speak with visitors informally about their work and their process. Overnight accommodations for out-of-town artists are available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Through this exhibition, artists are afforded an opportunity to gain exposure, sell artwork, and work in a free studio space in a beautiful setting. This is a nice occasion for a serene retreat to immerse yourself in your artwork. Future group or solo show opportunities may also be awarded.
For the final weekend, all participating artists are invited to hang their artwork in the gallery space for a Valentine’s weekend show and sale. Artists will be invited to this closing reception.
