Island things…

There’s lots going on around here. Let’s take a look. First off, Sandy Strehlou mentions the following about ballet:

Considering Ballet? We are very fortunate to have inspiring ballet instruction on island. Lina Downes teaches children as young as 5 up through beginning and intermediate adult, as well as private classes for serious advanced students. Ballet is art, athletics, balance, grace and focus.

Sandy goes on to mention the production coming up this weekend at the Community theater:

For a taste of what local dancers are learning right here in Friday Harbor, join Lina and local dancers young and adult at 7:30 pm on Saturday, Feb. 9th at the Community Theatre. Be inspired to dance, inspire a child and support our local dancers.
