CONNECTING PEOPLE WITH THE RESOURCES THEY NEED TO LIVE THEIR BEST LIVES
Suzy Colt is offering line dancing lessons to keep people from freezing into ice blocks over the winter. This is not your typical line dancing. It is what she likes to call “ballroom line dancing.” The music and dance steps will vary from urban, rap, rock & roll, disco, country, Latin, hustle, and smooth styles. No experience required. Just the urge to move to the music and let is take you away from your everyday activities. Dancing recharges your soul!
Suzy’s qualifications include 10 years of dance lessons at Let’s Dance studio in Concord. She also taught line dancing at the studio for a year. She has performed couple and group showcases at the studio balls in styles such as Waltz, Samba, West Coast Swing, Argentine Tango, Bolero, Cha Cha, and Rumba. She also participated in amateur dance competitions in Provincetown, MA.
Classes are starting Tuesday, January 14 at 6:30 p.m. at the Methodist Church basement at the corner of Maple St. and Lancaster Rd. Bring shoes to wear for dancing. No outdoor shoes can be worn on the dance floor, so be prepared to change your shoes.
Ages 16 on up and all levels of experience are welcome.
Sign up is required. https://forms.gle/v5R1niWigpKe2Atx6
Presented by a Whitefield Public Library community partner, the Family Village series is a community-building initiative designed to empower families and strengthen connections. Through four engaging sessions, we guide families as they explore their values, share their experiences, and foster a supportive network. Here’s a brief look at each session:
Session One: Fostering Community
We begin by building trust and connection among participants. In this session, we introduce the foundational ideals of a “family village,” where child-rearing adults offer mutual support and collaborate for positive change. We guide participants to create group norms and share personal stories, setting a tone of respect and support for the journey ahead. This session lays the groundwork for a community where each voice is heard, and each experience is valued.
Session Two: Hopes and Dreams
Next, we invite participants to dive into their aspirations for their children, families, and community. Through reflective activities, we explore both supports and barriers that impact these hopes and dreams. This session emphasizes a key question: “What do we want for our children, and how can we work together to make it possible?” By addressing obstacles and envisioning solutions, participants begin to see the potential for meaningful change within their reach.
Session Three: Building on Our Strengths
From hopes and dreams, we shift to identifying personal values and strengths. By acknowledging individual and collective strengths, participants understand how these qualities contribute not just to their own children’s success, but also to the broader community’s well-being. The activities foster a sense of agency, reinforcing that each participant has something valuable to offer in building a stronger community.
Session Four: Taking Action
Finally, we transition from reflection to action. Participants brainstorm and plan concrete steps toward creating a more supportive community. Drawing on insights from previous sessions, we guide participants to develop action plans rooted in their values, hopes, dreams, and strengths. This session emphasizes sustainable, community-driven initiatives that leverage the collective strength of the family village.
